To start EDT lessons again or not?

Trilla90 · 03-02-2014 1:17am #1

Hi i completed 5 EDT lessons at the end of 2012 (last one november 2012) with only one or two practice sessions in between. I haven't been near a steering wheel since. Looking back, I was doing ok but i just seemed to lose the motivation to carry on and i felt the instructor was rushing me through them a bit, throwing me in the deep end really when i wasn't ready. This scared me off i suppose.

Anyway i renewed my permit and i'm looking to start back again and i'm wondering should i forget about my old logbook and start again from scratch (1st edt lesson) or should i try and continue on with a different instructor? Bear in mind i literally did about 8 hours of driving in the space of two months, and it was a long time ago.

Another thing, is it likely that i'll remember much of what i did learn? since i've done nothing in 14 months. It's not like riding a bike is it?

I wouldnt reccomend to start from scratch. if you have 5 lessons done already then you only "have" to do 7 more EDT ones. Which inturn means you can use the extra 5 you saved for practice tests and a pre_test etc. I would reccomend to do a lesson an hour before your actual driving test. You have 5 done so you shouldnt start again. If you need more lessons after you finish the 12 then get them

Don't start from scratch. Your logbook is down against your driver number and any new logbook lessons wouldn't be able to uploaded against your driver number.

Go to a different ADI. Explain your situation and past experience in regard to feeling rushed through.

If it were me I'd start you off somewhere quiet to recap/get a felling for your skill level and take it from there. You can do as many lessons as YOU feel comfortable doing before starting back at EDT 6.

Good luck
