7 Reasons Why You Should Learn to Drive

You couldn’t do without your smartphone, could you? Then you shouldn’t be without a car. Book Theory Test Today gives you seven good reasons for learning to drive.  

Passing your theory test and practical driving exam opens up a whole new world to you, and while many are put off by the cost of motoring, having a licence can be extremely beneficial.

Disagree? Even those that have failed a theory test and practical exam hundreds of times still want to learn to drive and see the value of being able to, even if it has cost thousands already.

1. Driving is a lifelong skill

Learn to drive and you’ve acquired a skill that is for life. It’s like riding a bike, once you’ve done it, you never forget. Granted driving a car is a little more complex, but once you have a licence it’s yours, you don’t have to do another theory test or practical exam again.

Even if it’s years before you can afford a car, your driving licence will still be valid 3, 4 and even 10 years on [then you have to renew it].

2. Learn to drive and earn your freedom

Learn to drive and be free of public transport, there’s nothing better. Cars can take you from door-to-door, which is great when doing long journeys. Catch a bus or train, and walking or a taxi is usually involved somewhere.

With a car, you have the freedom to travel wherever you want, whenever you want without having to rely on a timetable and without having to share your mode of transport with sweaty people, ugh.

Even if you don’t own a car, a driving licence will permit you to hire a vehicle for occasional road trips if this is more practical and economical for you.

3. Employment

Many job roles request that you have a driving licence. There aren’t many job application forms now that are without the question ‘Do you have a driving licence?’

Having one will give you a better chance of landing a job. Even if your current job doesn’t require you to have a licence, it’s still worth pursuing one as you may want to switch jobs in the future.

4. Mobility

Live in a rural area, miles away from a train station and with a bus route that sees one bus every 90 minutes?

Learn to drive and all these problems evaporate. There’s nothing more inconvenient than living in the middle of nowhere and having to take all day to get somewhere. Without a car, going shopping, getting to work or going to visit friends or family is more of a hassle.

5. Identification

Going out clubbing? A driving licence is a great, pocket-sized form of ID. It’s certainly more portable than a passport, which not everyone has. Granted, you shouldn’t learn to drive for the sake of having ID, but it’s useful on a night out.

6. It’s a one-off

Pass your theory test and practical test and you’re done, you never have to learn to drive again. Learn when you have the time and the funds and once it’s done, it’s out of the way.

7. Flexibility

Having a licence doesn’t mean you have to own a car, but having a licence will prove useful in other scenarios. For example, if you’re on holiday you may want to hire a car for which a licence will be a requirement.
