The LDC driving system explained by Kev Field, LDC Driving Instructor in Leighton Buzzard

The exciting new way to learn to drive

Let me introduce the unique Learner Driving tuition system (LD System), a system that has been designed for maximum progress and ease of learning.

The benefits of the LD system are:

A comprehensive, structured training programme for you to follow

The LD system represents the culmination of many years experience in successfully preparing people for the UK driving test. Using the LD system will not only give you the best possible chance of passing your driving test first time, it will also provide you with the skills for a lifetime of safe driving. Nothing has been left to chance. Unfortunately, most driving schools in the UK do not provide a standard structured training programme - each instructor does his or her own thing making it very difficult for you to know how long it will take, what to expect or where you are at any point in the training process. This simply cannot happen with the LD system because you know exactly where you are in the programme at anytime. You know when you are ready to move onto the next lesson in the programme because you will know when the current lesson targets have been achieved. Each step is clearly defined. You know what you are trying to do and you know when you can do it. Your progress is precisely recorded in your workbook for anyone to see.

An easy to follow progress monitoring system to keep you on track

Each step of your development is recorded in the driving skills workbook so that at any time you can see exactly what stage you are at and what’s left to cover. Parents particularly appreciate this feature as they can see precisely what’s happening and, equally as important, what they are paying for.

Accelerated learning that is fun

By preparing for each lesson beforehand, using the driving skills videos and workbook, you will save a lot of time in the car on unnecessary explanations. On traditional driving lessons around 20 minutes per lesson is spent parked at the side of the road while your instructor explains in detail what to do and how to do it. With LDC instruction this doesn’t happen. You simply start the lesson with a short question and answer session covering only those aspects of your study that you were unsure about. This potentially represents a saving of around seven and a half hours over a traditional driving course of 30 hours duration. Not only is the training far more effective because you get more actual practice time on each lesson, the practice you do get is also far more productive because you are better prepared, This is because you will have already spent time learning about the driving techniques you need to apply and the road procedures you need to follow before you get in the car. Better still, you would have done this in the comfort of your own home, without any time pressures or worries about controlling a car at the same time. With this knowledge and understanding in place you just need to concentrate on putting it into practice when in the car on your lesson. In addition, the training is far less stressful because you know what to expect. You have seen it before on video and practised it in your mind. You know you will not be pushed onto the next step until you have mastered the current one. Throwing people in at the deep end rarely works and only serves to make the learning process unpleasant and stressful. With LDC this won’t happen. You will look forward to each lesson and find the experience most enjoyable. Because you will find the process enjoyable you will learn even more quickly.

An aid to supplementary practice with a relative or friend

The workbook and videos can also be used by anyone who may be providing you with supplementary practice to ensure that any additional practice is totally complementary and not counter productive to your learning.
