There is a big difference between your average everyday type of schools and a driving school. While all useful knowledge exalts a person, driving schools have a very big responsibility on their shoulders, that of life and death. To try and hopefully produce students that would be able to save and salvage a potential fatal condition on the road. The total number of fatalities on road going accidents in is much higher in the UK than in the developed countries. While third World countries have a far worse safety record of combined fatalities in 2017.
The majority of students at driving schools in Hornchurch are mostly young people, many who have just turned 18, the minimum age to be eligible for a driving license in the UK. Driving hazards are not the foremost thing on their minds as young people are happy thinking about a kind of travel freedom. That of being able to drive to their friends, places of work and perhaps too far off cities and towns in their holidays all from the comfort of their homes. These young students are mostly very enthusiastic with glad hearts about their new found travel independence. Commuting in public vehicles is an impersonal experience. In a covered automobile one is sheltered both from extreme hot and cold weather. One could converse intimately in total privacy with one’s spouse or girlfriend; such would just not be possible in a public bus or train.
Driving instructors have to instill knowledge in such a way to their students that the candidates act with knowledge, a firm foothold and confidence. An indecisive, nervous and under confident driver is many times a nuisance on the road and sometimes a very dangerous threat. That takes about 30-40 hours of training before the average candidate is considered fit enough to appear for the driving test. These lessons span from over a month to two and a half to three months. Flexible tuition hours are available, many a times from 6am to 9pm. This is because students do not have to miss out on the academic classis. The working citizens have also been catered for with lesson times available beyond the regular 9am-5pm working hours.
Besides regular classes the vast majority of driving schools in Hornchurch offer intensive driving courses. This is because there is a strong market demand for them from students. The reason is that most people who opt for these are short time. Usually an instructor is available 24/7 for such students. The students covers the same 30-40 hours a regular student, however in a compressed time frame of 2 to 3 weeks instead of the more widely spaced 2.5 to 3 months regular classes. While your average driving student would be able to understand the theory part in such a setup that is highly unlikely that in such a short time span would develop the reflexes for such a skill.
