Used-car checklist before you practise in your own car

Own-car practice is excellent for transferring skills — only if the car is mechanically safe. Check tyre tread, brake feel, lights, wipers and clutch bite before a lesson.

Insurance must cover a learner with an instructor. Confirm this before the session; do not assume.

Without dual control, choose quieter roads and an instructor experienced in own-car coaching. Early highway merges can wait.
