We are due to open in February and we want to know what features you would like to see?!

We already have lots of features for our users to play around with but what would you expect to see.

If you're unsure what Findmydrive is..


FindMyDrive is your one stop shop for all to do with starting out on the roads. Our website is packed with useful hints and tips, guides on how to get the most out of your driving lessons, and everything in between, ensuring the greatest possible success throughout your driving test.

We have close contacts with high-end industry experts that have helped us to provide the most beneficial information directly to you. Our huge directory of driving instructors will make choosing the right teacher a walk in the park.

All comments will be +rep.

Thanks! :)

Perhaps a guide on how weather can affect driving and things to watch out for? Obviously this would particularly useful now with all of the snow!

If you have the skills to do so, perhaps make a little video of a car going along and sometimes it does things wrong. On each 'scene' of the journey you have a four box tick choice and the person doing the test clicks what they think the answer is?

E.G. A car turns without indicating.

What did the car do incorrectly?

No indicators
Went passed a stop sign
Nothing
Went over speed limit
You could have a little box in the corner with what speed the car is going at the time, and the car moves down a road doing different things etc.

Just an idea :)

Good idea! Abit techie for me though! I will look into this! We might just do images instead of videos for now, or even animation, we may do video in the future but good one! +rep

Yeah. I was going to say park my ride. If you want the .swf i can have a look around for you? I might have it. And i was thinking something like just an image of the inside of a car. And what all the buttons and everything do. Like all those buttons for changing the headlights and stuff. On the right of the steering wheel near the door in the uk. But newer models have it on the built in computer. But most people start out with old cars anyway. EDIT: thinking about it. Most cars dont have the same layout inside. But they use the same icons. So mabey some icons and what the do when you press them or ajust them
