Is It Better To Have 1 Or 2 Hour Driving Lessons?Lauto Driving School Explains.

When it comes to choosing between 1-hour and 2-hour driving lessons, there are several factors to consider, and each option has its own benefits. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which might be better for you:

Benefits of 1-Hour Driving Lessons:

  1. Less Fatigue: Shorter lessons can help prevent fatigue, especially for beginners who may find longer sessions overwhelming.
  2. Focused Learning: A 1-hour lesson allows for concentrated practice on specific skills without feeling rushed.
  3. Frequent Practice: If you’re taking lessons more frequently (like daily or every other day), shorter sessions can fit better into your schedule.

Benefits of 2-Hour Driving Lessons:

  1. More Practice Time: Longer lessons provide more opportunities to practice and reinforce skills, which can be beneficial for building confidence.
  2. Better Value: Many driving schools offer better rates for longer sessions, making it a more cost-effective option.
  3. In-Depth Learning: With a 2-hour lesson, you can cover more material and have time for a break, allowing for a more comprehensive learning experience.
  4. The place of the state examination and its distance from the meeting place. If the travel time is significant, it will not allow us to familiarize ourselves with the scope of the examination.
  5. Shortening the duration of the course at the Warsaw Driving School.

What Others Are Saying:

  • Many learners have found that 2-hour lessons with a short break in the middle are ideal, as they provide enough time to practice without feeling rushed.
  • Generally, most people learning to drive prefer 2-hour lessons because they allow for more extensive practice and skill development.

Conclusion:

Ultimately, the choice between 1-hour and 2-hour driving lessons depends on your personal learning style, schedule, and comfort level. If you’re just starting out, you might want to begin with 1-hour lessons and gradually transition to 2-hour session as you gain confidence.

How to change a driving school from Warsaw step by step?

The B category course at the Warsaw driving school looked great. Well, it did look great… However, life quickly showed Marvin that he got himself into some serious trouble. The OSK that the boy chose turned out to be probably the worst center in the capital.

There are many irregularities of this facility that bothered Marvin, but let’s focus on just one. His name is Mr. Ede, called by the students the Ace of the Sky. This instructor, who seemed like a great guy, stretched the string as much as he could. And so he was constantly late for driving lessons, telling family stories during them instead of teaching honestly, and at the same time taking care of his official business in the city…

It is no wonder that Marvin finally exploded and decided to change schools. However, the boy did not know how to go about it and whether he could do it during the course that had already started. In a moment, we will tell you what happened next for Marvin. But first, let us explain how to change the center from the capital in four simple steps.

Step One: Making the Decision to Change Warsaw Driving School

The good news is that you can change your center at any stage of your category B course. Let’s now consider what reasons indicate that we should decide to take this bold step.

When should OSK be changed?

  • If the center is unable to teach safe driving nor prepare for the WORD exam.
  • If the lectures are monotonous, without methods of activating students and interaction or modern technologies, and the lecturer is boring, as if he was paid for it.
  • If the instructor is unable to convey knowledge clearly and specifically and teach safe driving, and in addition, during driving hours he or she is doing his or her own business, is on the phone or making calls and gives the impression that he or she does not like his or her job.
  • If the atmosphere at school is gloomy and the service provided to students is like in the nightmarish offices from the times of the Polish People’s Republic.
  • If there are organizational problems or unclear rules of cooperation and settlement, and at every step they try to squeeze money out of the student.

If the above problems occur, it is worth not delaying the change of center and terminating the contract.

Step two: completing the formalities with the old driving school from Warsaw

In the second step, the student should show their „Card of Conducted Classes” to the head of the center, so that they can describe the number of classes they have completed, finish it and sign it, and make a photocopy for the center’s archive. In addition, the head of the school should unblock the PKK profile.

In theory, it seems simple. In practice, the center can go “to war” with the student to make it harder for them to change schools. So what can you do to effectively change the center? You need to effectively terminate the contract…

How to effectively terminate a training contract?

  • The original notice of termination must be submitted in writing, with a copy of the notice confirming receipt by the school.
  • The notice of termination should include: the name and address of the school, personal data and address of the student with the PKK number, date and place of preparation of the document, handwritten signature and a statement of termination of the category B training contract.
  • You should also include a request to unblock your PKK number and settle the course fees and any unused cash refund.
  • In the attachment we are enclosing the original of the “Card of Conducted Classes” with a request to describe it and issue it in accordance with the regulations.

We can also send this notice by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt. In this case, however, it is worth keeping the original of the „Card of conducted activities” and requesting a meeting with the head of the center to complete the formalities related to describing and closing the „Card” on site.

Step three: choosing a new driving school in Warsaw

In the article entitled: „How to choose a good driving school in Warsaw?” we explained how to check if the center offers high quality training and how to recognize a reliable lecturer and instructor. Once we find a great center, we need to take care of important issues before we sign a contract with them.

What else should you take care of before signing a contract with a new center?

  • First, you should contact the new school you are planning to transfer to, and then inform them that you want to change centers. If you want to get a good price for the course, it is worth explaining your situation and why you are looking for a new center.

When the old school unblocks the PKK number in the Communication Department, the new school will automatically download this number from the system. The student can check the status of their PKK on the info-car.pl website .

  • Then the student gives the card from the previous OSK, PKK number and PESEL. Thanks to this, the new school will know how many hours the student has traveled and will adapt its training to his situation.
  • Before signing a contract with a new center, it is worth checking whether they offer the possibility of continuing the course, as well as the costs of transferring the PKK number. It also does not hurt to ask if the center offers a special welcome package for new students who are changing schools.

Step four: finalizing formalities with the new driving school in Warsaw

In the fourth step, let’s move on to signing a contract with OSK. Thanks to it, a healthy relationship between the trainee and the center will be built.

What should a good contract with a center include?

  • First, it should clearly state what the school is committing to, without any strings attached.
  • Secondly, it should specify what vehicles the school has at its disposal and on what days and hours theory and practical classes are conducted.
  • Thirdly, it should specify whether training materials, e-learning and medical examinations are included in the basic price of the course (if they actually are).
  • Fourthly, it should determine what financial consequences a student will face if he or she fails to show up for a driving test due to his or her own negligence, informs too late about a change of date, interrupts the course or resigns from training at a given OSK.
  • Fifthly, it should regulate the forms of payment for training.
  • Sixth, it should indicate where the rides start and how much it costs to pick up the student at the location indicated by him/her.
  • Seventh, it should specify how much it costs and what the procedure is for providing a training car for the exam at WORD.

Summary: how to change a driving school in Warsaw in four steps?

To answer this question, let’s go back to Marvin’s story from the first paragraph. The student was fed up with Mr. Ede, his instructor, and was also irritated by the entire organizational culture of the school where he was doing the category B course.

How did Marvin change OSK step by step?

  • In the first step, Marvin made a manly decision – even though he likes Mr. Ede very much, his blatant negligence and toxic manner were a strong argument for changing the school, as it did not want to assign him another instructor.
  • In the second step, Marvin submitted a notice of termination of the contract for the provision of a category B course, and obtained a copy of the notice signed by the head of the center.
  • In the third step, Marvin contacted the school recommended by his friends, expressed his willingness to start training and negotiated a good price for the course.
  • In the fourth step, Marcin established clear terms of cooperation with the head of OSK, which were confirmed in the contract for the provision of driving license training.

Was leaving the old OSK and choosing a new center a good thing for Marvin? Of course, yes! The trainee completed additional training at the „Lauto” driving school in Warsaw , thanks to which he passed the WORD exam on the second attempt (as American scientists have proven, the best drivers pass their driving test on the second attempt, which was confirmed in Marvin’s case).

What are the most difficult questions for a category B driving license? A driving school from Warsaw explains what mistakes students make during the theoretical exam in WORD

When Sylvia chose the best driving school in Warsaw, she was sure that the B category exam was just a formality. The girl not only had a keen head for learning, but also felt like a fish in water behind the wheel.

That’s why she was sure that with the help of this driving school she would pass everything in a flash. So when on the day of the exam at WORD the school principal received a call from Sylvia and heard: „You may not believe me, but I failed the theory”, the phone fell out of his hands…

Why did Sylvia fail the theory? More on that in a moment. First, let’s answer the most difficult questions that may appear on the WORD exam.

  1. When approaching a “STOP” sign (B-20), do we have to stop every time to give way?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students believe that a red sign with a white “STOP” sign is an impassable barrier.
  • Meanwhile, stopping should take place in a designated place, and if there is no such place, then you should stand in a place from where you can assess the situation on the road.
  1. Do we have to give way to a rail vehicle leaving the loop?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students mistakenly believe that the tram is a privileged vehicle that has unconditional right of way.
  • Meanwhile, a rail vehicle leaving the loop onto the roadway is joining the traffic, so the tram driver should give way to us.
  1. Are we allowed to use rear fog lights if fog restricts visibility by 100 meters?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students of the Warsaw driving school fall asleep during lectures…
  • Meanwhile, during lectures we say that the driver can use rear fog lights, but only if the reduced air transparency limits visibility to a distance of less than 50 m.
  1. When we see the D-3 sign, are we obliged to drive straight at the next intersection?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students think that a blue square with a white arrow pointing up means they should go straight.
  • Meanwhile, the D-3 sign informs about the beginning or continuation of a one-way road or carriageway and is often confused with the order to drive straight ahead, i.e. the C-5 sign (a blue circle with a white arrow pointing up).
  1. Is there a ban on overtaking at every pedestrian crossing?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students believe that you should never overtake on a pedestrian crossing.
  • Meanwhile, an exception to this rule is the situation when traffic at the crossing is directed by traffic lights.
  1. Where on the dipstick should the trace of engine oil be for the measurement to be considered incorrect?
  • Above the “MAX” mark, between the “MIN” and “MAX” marks, or slightly above the “MIN” mark?
  • Some students misread this question, answering as it should be…
  • Meanwhile, the question is about the incorrect level when the trace is outside the correct level.
  1. Is it possible to reverse on a road marked with the D-3 sign (one-way road)?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students think that they cannot reverse on a road marked with a blue square with a white arrow pointing upwards because it is a one-way street.
  • Meanwhile, road traffic regulations do not prohibit reversing on a road marked with this sign, unless it is in places covered by the reversing ban, e.g. in a tunnel, on a viaduct or bridge.
  1. Can you stop a vehicle under a viaduct if there are no signs prohibiting it?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some driving school students from Warsaw believe that the code prohibits this because it is a sensitive place.
  • Meanwhile, road traffic regulations prohibit stopping a vehicle on a viaduct, but not under it.
  1. Does the A-3 vertical sign warn of two dangerous bends, the first of which is to the right and the second to the left?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students believe that this is indeed the case, because this sign has a black arrow on a yellow background that first turns right and then left.
  • Meanwhile, the A-3 sign actually warns of two dangerous bends, the first of which is to the right and the second can be both left and right.
  1. Should you always exercise extra caution when taking evasive action?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some students may confuse passing with overtaking, during which special care must actually be taken.
  • In the meantime, you just need to be careful when passing someone.
  1. Do we need to exercise constant caution when driving from dusk till dawn?
  • YES or NO?
  • For some students, due to the more difficult driving conditions, this seems obvious.
  • Meanwhile, road traffic regulations do not oblige us to exercise special caution at night.
  1. In which phase of heavy rain is the asphalt roadway the most slippery?
  • In the beginning, middle or end?
  • Some learners believe that at the end of heavy rainfall, the greatest accumulation of water occurs, and therefore driving becomes the least safe.
  • Meanwhile, at the very beginning of rainfall, the risk of skidding is greatest because the water carries away contaminants accumulated on the roadway or in its vicinity.
  1. Is overtaking a cyclist always prohibited at every intersection?
  • YES or NO?
  • Some driving school students from Warsaw claim that the regulations prohibit this.
  • Meanwhile, they only say that it is forbidden to overtake a motor vehicle (except at roundabouts or controlled traffic intersections), and a bicycle does not belong to this category…

Summary: the driving school lists 13 mistakes that students from Warsaw make during the exam

How incorrectly do students answer the questions from the above test?

  • The first is that… when you reach a “STOP” sign, you should always stop in front of it (correct answer: NO).
  • Secondly, that… you have to give way to a tram leaving the loop (correct answer: NO).
  • Thirdly, that… we have the right to use rear fog lights when fog limits visibility to a distance of 100 meters (correct answer: NO).
  • Fourthly, that… when we see the D-3 sign, we are obliged to go straight at the next intersection (correct answer: NO).
  • Fifth, that… overtaking is prohibited at every pedestrian crossing (correct answer: NO).
  • Sixth, that… the correct oil mark on the dipstick should be between “MIN” and “MAX” (correct answer: above the “MAX” mark).
  • Seventh, that… you cannot reverse on a one-way street (correct answer: YES).
  • Eighth, that… you cannot stop a car under an overpass unless the signs prohibit it (correct answer: YES).
  • Ninth, that… sign A-3 warns of two dangerous bends, the first of which is to the right and the second to the left (correct answer: NO).
  • The tenth thing is that… you should always exercise extreme caution when taking evasive action (correct answer: NO).
  • The eleventh is that… when driving at night, you should always exercise special caution (correct answer: NO).
  • Twelfth, that… in the final phase of heavy rain the asphalt is the most slippery (correct answer: in the initial phase).
  • The thirteenth is that… overtaking a cyclist at intersections is prohibited (correct answer: NO).

Driving school from Warsaw explains why Sylvia failed her theory test on her first attempt

Why did Sylvia stumble in theory? Well, she was ruined by rushing and being too self-confident. The student didn’t read the questions to the end, didn’t watch the videos in their entirety, acted in a rush, intuitively…

Fortunately, with the help of the head of the Warsaw driving school „Lauto” , she gained more respect for the exams, thanks to which she passed the theory on the second attempt and the practice on the first attempt.

How are the exams conducted in WORD? The Lauto driving school from Warsaw explains how to pass the theory and practice step by step

From time to time, it happens that the head of a driving school in Warsaw trains the children of his neighbors. This was the case with Łukasz and Monika. Although they came from different families, they had many similarities: similar predispositions to driving, motivation to get a license and soon they were going to graduate from high school.

Łukasz started in January. By the time he was on vacation, he had already completed 20 hours of the course out of the 30 required. Monika, on the other hand, started at the end of September. Of course, instead of doing the course during the vacation, they left it for later, because they had a lot of obligations due to final exams.

Łukasz’s parents were very thrifty. First they negotiated discounts on the course, then on driving. They arranged everything in advance. They do this in every aspect of life, because price is the most important thing to them. If there is a chance to complain about something, they are the first. It is hard to recommend any services to them, because there will be problems.

Monika’s parents were the exact opposite. They bought the course and only just before the party reminded the school principal that their daughter was on a course with him.

Łukasz did the course for 12 months. No rides during the holidays. Monika was struggling to find the time and wanted to finish as soon as possible, but it was hard because of the number of additional classes. Despite the rush of classes, she managed to finish the course in about 2 months.

Despite these twin similarities, one of them passed almost immediately, while the other bounced from exam to exam. Which of them did better? More on that in a moment. First, let’s answer the question: „How do exams work in WORD?”…

Driving school „Lauto” from Warsaw explains what the theoretical exam in WORD consists of

The theoretical examination includes a basic and specialized part.

What does the basic part include?

  • 20 general knowledge questions.
  • We answer: „YES” or „NO”.
  • There is a separate time for reading the question and answering.

What does the specialist section include?

  • 12 questions about road traffic regulations and safety rules.
  • We select 1 answer out of 3.
  • You have 50 seconds to read and respond.

What is the scope of knowledge?

  • Road traffic regulations.
  • Principles of first aid.
  • Road safety.

What is worth remembering?

  • Only one answer to a given question is correct.
  • You cannot go back to previous questions once you have approved them.
  • Please arrive well in advance as you will need to find a suitable examination room.
  • Please bring your ID document.
  • The theory exam can also be taken before the course.
  • Once you have completed the exam, you will be informed of your results.
  • Once you pass the theory, you can move on to the practical part: start a practical course or sign up for the practical exam.
  • If you fail, you can sign up for another date.

Driving school „Lauto” from Warsaw explains how the theoretical exam is conducted

What are the stages of the theory exam?

  • Verifying the identity of the person taking the exam and indicating the computer station.
  • Familiarization with the operation of the examination system.
  • You may answer a practice question that does not affect your exam result.
  • Answering 32 exam questions in 25 minutes.
  • Once you have completed the exam, your results will appear on your screen.
  • People who get a negative result can check their incorrect answers.

The Lauto driving school from Warsaw explains what activities should be performed on the maneuvering site

How does the practical exam on the maneuvering site proceed?

  • We arrive at the maneuvering site 5 minutes early.
  • We take with us our ID card and confirmation of registration for the exam.
  • The examiner checks our identity and confirms that we are registered for the exam.
  • The examiner may ask you to check basic vehicle components such as the operation of the lights and horn, as well as fluids under the hood.
  • Before you start driving, you must adjust the mirrors, seat, steering wheel, headrest and fasten your seat belt.
  • The following tasks are performed at the maneuvering site: vehicle operation (lights), preparation for driving (mirrors), driving on a curve, i.e. driving in a lane forwards and backwards.
  • We use mirrors and — absolutely! — the rear window.
  • If the weather is bad or the exam is after dark, turn on your low beam headlights.
  • We are entitled to a second attempt if we stop before crossing the line or hitting the post.
  • We set off up the hill: we are entitled to a second attempt if the car stalls or rolls back.
  • The practical exam for category B lasts approximately 40 minutes.

Driving school „Lauto” from Warsaw explains what tasks will be performed in road traffic

What does the practical city exam include?

  • We are required to make: 1 or 2 parking stops and 1 U-turn using reverse gear.
  • We can have: an emergency stop (the examiner must inform us before the exam what signal he will give us) and a stop in a designated place (a typical stop to drop off a passenger – it is worth using your indicators).
  • The rest is driving in city traffic: turning, turning, watching your speed and following the maxim „Make haste slowly”.
  • It is worth making decisions slowly at intersections with signs when we do not have the right of way.
  • Traffic lights require more dynamics, unless we have limited visibility, e.g. left turn.
  • We read signs, watch out for solid lines and equivalent intersections.
  • During the exam, there is an examiner and a candidate driver in the car, and there may also be an instructor, a sworn translator, a candidate examiner (observer) or an inspector from the starosty.

The Lauto driving school from Warsaw summarizes how the WORD exams are conducted

Let’s go back to the story in the first paragraph…

How did Łukasz’s exams go? Although Łukasz had purchased a few extra hours before his first attempt at the practical exam, when his father found out, he immediately stopped this “waste of money.”

The OSK chief was even happy, because he was driving with Łukasz basically for the price of fuel and taxes, with no chance of earning any money, thanks to the boy’s father driving down the price of the trip…

The boy failed the first exam on a curve. The OSK chief provided him with a car for the second one. It was quite a good exam, but unfortunately Łukasz failed it when returning to WORD at the penultimate intersection.

The third attempt was in a month. The school principal was supposed to provide a car again and reminded Łukasz several times to give him the exam date in advance, so he could reserve a car for him. The boy gave it to him only a few days before the exam, when it was already too late…

Unfortunately, this time he didn’t succeed. Namely, he forced the right of way when turning left. Undeterred, he booked a fourth date in 3 days. And again he rushed the turn, forcing the right of way.

He scheduled his fifth exam in two weeks. He should have bought a few hours, but he didn’t: saving money was more important. And that was a serious mistake that resulted in another failure in WORD. But the head of the center preferred not to say anything, so as not to be accused of ripping off the boy’s father with an additional expense.

How did Monika’s exams go? Well, she passed on her second attempt. She took a total of 2 extra lessons before the exams. The first time she made a strange mistake on a one-way street. She passed the next exam almost on the fly…

Why, although they were as similar as two peas in a pod, Monika did it almost without stress, while Łukasz experienced pure horror? The answer lies in their family homes. Monika’s parents simply supported her, without unnecessary stress. Łukasz’s parents, on the other hand, put pressure on him to score, which only increased his stress. And of course, they skimped on the course, almost letting the head of the center go.

All Łukasz had to do was let go and trust the head of the driving school „Lauto” from Warsaw , who would advise him to buy additional hours on the road, and then the exam in WORD would go as smoothly as in Monika’s case…
