Covid-19 impact on driving lessons

Covid-19 is a new virus which can be deadly to humans. We must do what we can to minimise transmission. As of 4 July 2020, driving instructors have been advised by the Government that we can commence teaching. 

As a professional and regulated driving school I have the responsibility to keep all of my customers safe. As a member of the DIA (Driving Instructors Association), I receive updates and advice on how to minimise the risk in a confined space. 

Please see my updated Terms and Conditions which include processes and appropriate conduct from both myself and my students having lessons during this period.
Thank you, Lauren

Why choose Reason to Drive?

There are a number of reasons that students and parents are choosing Reason to Drive to learn to drive. 
1. Customer-centric driving lessons
It may seem a bit of a buzzword but since everybody has their own unique way of learning, in all my lessons I will find the best approach to help each individual student, adapting my teaching style to their needs. In fact, it’s so important to me, that I have a range of support tools to assist with learning, from the TheoryPro App to old-style flash cards and alternative methods to help students with dyslexia. ​

2. Calm, confident, patient approach ​
My students say that my calm, patient teaching style helps them to not only feel confident behind the wheel but truly understand all the aspects of driving and road safety. During our lessons we practise driving in as many conditions as possible, this is particularly helpful for my more anxious students. I feel it’s better for my students to face these with me as part of their learning, than on the road alone after they have passed their test.

​3. Committed to high standards
​As part of my commitment to continued high training standards for my pupils, I regularly attend workshops and training courses around improved learning practices for driving instruction. ​

I am RoadSmart - an advanced driver course

"Last year, 32 of my 41 students passed their driving test first time. That's 78% passing first time compared to the National average of 46%.

It makes me very proud of my students and what we have achieved together, because it's the dedication from both student and instructor that has made people who learn to drive with
Reason to Drive successful ​”

- Lauren Reason, ADI

Reason to Drive Students learn to both pass their driving test and stay safe as a 'thinking driver'

The Thinking Driver

When you choose to learn to drive with Reason to Drive you will learn so much more than just how to pass the test. I want my students to stay safe once they have passed and so I instil what I call ‘the thinking driver’. 

It’s so important that young drivers understand their complete driving environment and so in our lessons I educate them on all aspects of driving including: driving in different conditions, in different states of mind, with distractions like friends, their phone, their music, using Sat Nav. I also like my students to learn to think ahead and plan for their journey - where they are going, the best route, time of day and if it’s a long journey to check the car’s oil and water levels. 

The process of becoming a thinking driver

Through our lessons my students learn the basics of driving – how to move away smoothly, stop, manoeuvre, negotiate junctions, recognise and react to road signs and hazards. That is the 'how' of driving, but now we apply 'the thinking driver' element to driving. ​
In this stage, my students learn how to read and anticipate actions from other road users, how to adapt their driving to external conditions - whether that’s day or night, wet or dry, busy or quiet – and also to consider their own physical and mental condition, e.g. driving when tired, suffering with a cold, having had an argument etc. We look at the impact this could have on their driving and when it might be safer not to drive and why. 
Finally, we discuss safety and the risks of not wearing seat-belts, driving too close or too fast, and drink/drug driving. To enforce the dangers of drink driving I park at the side of the roads and ask my students to put on the drunk goggles. With the car switched off and securely stationary, I ask them first to try and pick up a pen which I have placed on the dashboard and second to try to assess when cars are passing them. It’s a really great lesson for students to experience just how distorted their judgement would be.

About Lauren 

​Having successfully achieved my Approved Driving Instructor status, I worked with other larger driving schools before setting up on my own in 2019. 

Reason to Drive let me fulfil my ideals in driving instruction - providing greater flexibility in teaching hours, being able to more readily adapt to support student needs and creating an environment for continuous and improved learning for both myself and my students. You can follow me on Facebook to see updates on the courses and workshop that I attend to gain more skills to help you. 

In order to offer my students the widest range of driving knowledge possible, I also hold an HGV Class 2 licence along with B + E trailer licence and I completed my BTEC Level 4 in Coaching & Driving Development achieving a pass mark of 85% in March 2020! To continue my commitment to high standards of driving instruction, I am currently working towards my Advanced Driver certification with IAM RoadSMart and I have plans to visit the skid-pans soon!

As a young, female, competent driver and instructor, I hope that I am also breaking down long held preconceived notions as well as providing a safe environment for my students to learn in.

Reason to drive driving instructor customer review July 2019. Picture of Verity Adams with Lauren Reason ADI's Mini
Verity Adams July 5, 2019 I enjoyed all my lessons with Lauren as she didn’t just teach me how to pass my test but how to drive once I would be on the road alone. When my test approached Lauren did all she could to make sure I felt prepared even if it was just an hour to make sure I was confident on my parking or go along a new route home to make sure I had learnt everything in the lesson and could put it into practice. I would highly recommend Lauren especially after I passed first time with no minors and it really does show the amount of effort she puts into herself and her students.
Reason to drive driving instructor customer review April 2019. Picture of Alice Sandiford with Lauren Reason ADI's Mini
Alice Sandiford April 19, 2019 Couldn’t ask for a better instructor! Lauren is kind, always patient and has a lovely calm and relaxed attitude, putting you at ease but still staying professional. She really wants her pupils to succeed and has every faith in them and of course she’s become a pro at calming pre-test nerves!. Lauren doesn’t just teach you to pass your test, she teaches you how to drive in every situation. Thanks to Lauren I feel ready to drive and know how to handle any situation safely and confidently. Highly, highly recommend
