Join Terry Cook and a panel of six esteemed driving instructors as they dive into crucial discussions about the psychological aspects of driving and the challenges faced by new drivers.

The conversation kicks off with an exploration of how instructors can help young learners build confidence and manage stress while navigating the roads. As they tackle a range of thought-provoking questions sent in by Dr. Elizabeth Box, the panel emphasizes the importance of relationship-building and understanding the unique needs of each learner.

The episode highlights the significant role of instructors in preparing students for real-world driving situations, particularly concerning risks associated with peer passengers and late-night driving. With a blend of humour and practical advice, this lively discussion aims to empower instructors and enhance the overall learning experience for new drivers.
