Wants DVD for driver's education school

Question

June 4, 2010

I will be starting a driving school soon on teaching student on Driving in proper method in Brisbane metropolitan area.
Is there any Driving training DVDs technique available in the market for trainer to use to teach the student on ways of proper teaching procedure and method?
Also is there any simple gadget that I can buy this day in the market so that I can install another speedometre on the front passenger side so that I can gauge the Vehicle speed limit properly without trying to lean over to the driver side to check on the speed that my student is driving while in training?
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thankyou

Answer

It would be worthwhile for you to take a driver education course yourself to see how it is done. The instructor may also be able to give you some pointers.

Most driving schools have their cars set up with devices to assist in training the student. Some even have extra brake pedals for the instructor. I would check with other driving schools to see where they get their equipment. It might be good to check schools in a different community, so that they won't consider you their competition.
