We’re sure that learner drivers all around the country are rushing to pass their test before the end of the year.  In order to increase your chances of passing, you’ll need to get on the roads outside of your driving lessons. This is also known as private practice. Miserable weather and limited daylight can make driving in winter a drag. But we’ve listed a few ideas of how to make it a little more fun.

Pumpkin spice lattes

Black Friday is fast approaching, so it’s the perfect opportunity to do some Christmas shopping (or you can just treat yourself – it’s been a long year).

Drive yourself and some fellow bargain hunters towards those sweet deals!

Visit a local winter market

There’s nothing that will get you in the festive mood than a winter market. The smells, the lights, the Christmas music. There will be winter markets all round the UK, so grab your friends or family and make the most of it!

Private practice doesn’t have to be just driving around your local block with your parents. Any journey where you’re behind the wheel allows you to gain driving experience. Driving to new places will not only prepare you for your driving test, but for after the test too! If you’re insured with InsureLearnerDriver as a learner – all you’ll need is a supervising driver in the passenger seat that matches our acceptance criteria. Then you can go on your way!
