Welcome to: Gravesham Association of Driving Instructors
Information, Representation and Services to driving instructors, driving schools
and help to the public throughout Gravesend and the surrounding areas of Kent.
The association's principal aims, are to keep members informed of any matters of interest to them, to represent the views of members to Gravesham
Council, its departments and agencies, to provide services that will be of benefit to members and to set standards of professional behaviour
for driving instructors.
The Driving Instructors Role:
A driving instructors job is to teach people to drive safely and to prepare them for their driving test.
The instructor introduces the pupil to the controls and the basics of driving, but the rest of the lessons are usually held on the road with the learner
driving the car and carrying out manoeuvres. Before the lesson, the instructor
plans a route. During the lesson, the instructor monitors the learner, the road and other vehicles very carefully.
They teach general road craft, including knowledge of the Highway Code to a very high standard required by the Driving Standards Agency.
