    You’ve Passed Your Driving Test – Now What?

    So you’ve done it. You’ve passed your driving test and got that shiny pink licence in your hand. First of all, congratulations. That’s a massive milestone. Now comes the fun part – getting out on the road on your own. But hold on a second. Before you go tearing off on a road trip with your mates or blasting music on the motorway, there are a few things you’ll want to sort out first. Let’s explore them now so you can enjoy being on the road. After all, you’ve worked hard for it!

    First Car

    This is probably top of the list, right? You don’t have to rush out and buy a car straight away, but if you’re planning on driving regularly, now’s the time to start looking. Go for something reliable, safe and ideally not too expensive to run. A smaller engine can help keep insurance costs down, and you don’t need anything flashy. But if you are ready to treat yourself, have a look at something like the Jaecoo J7. It’s got the kind of features you’d usually expect in higher-end models but still feels manageable for a new driver. Plus, it looks pretty slick.

    Insurance

    Let’s be honest, this part isn’t not the most exciting. But it’s important. You’ll want to shop around, and don’t just go with the first quote you get. Use comparison sites, but also check directly with providers. Adding a parent or experienced driver to your policy as a named driver can sometimes bring the cost down too. Just make sure you’re honest about who the main driver is.

    Confidence

    Even though you’ve passed, it’s totally normal to still feel a bit nervous when you’re out on your own. That first solo drive is a bit of a mix of freedom and panic, and that’s fine. Start small. Drive familiar routes, take quiet roads if you can, and give yourself time to get used to being in control without someone next to you telling you what to do. You’ll get the hang of it quicker than you think.

    Extras

    Once you’ve got the basics sorted, think about the extras that’ll make driving easier. Things like a good phone holder for directions, an emergency kit (jump leads, torch, first aid bits), and even a pack of tissues in the glove box can come in handy. Also, if you’re using your car a lot, learning how to check the oil and tyre pressure is a good shout. You don’t need to be a mechanic, just know the basics.

    Keep Learning

    Passing your test doesn’t mean you know everything. You’ll come across new situations on the road all the time. Consider doing a Pass Plus course or some extra lessons if you want to boost your confidence. And don’t forget, the best way to get better is just to keep driving. It’s a big moment, but it’s also just the beginning. Enjoy the freedom, stay safe, and remember – even the most confident drivers were new once. You’ve got this.
