Whilst that was good to simply get a feel for stopping and starting \u2013 hopefully without stalling \u2013 neither of them knew quite what instructor Paul Brown would be expecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We asked Harry how he felt after his first lesson, \u2019Relieved!\u2019 he says, \u2018Dad hadn\u2019t pointed me in the wrong direction and the RED Vauxhall Corsa was much easier to driver than the 15 year old Ka!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tiff\u2019s opinion, the hardest part of the learning to drive process was to know how a new driver should drive: when to change gear? when to indicate? how often to look in mirrors? what speed in tight situations? \u2018You just take so much for granted when you\u2019ve been doing it for 44 years \u2026 \u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help with all these quandaries, RED developed Road Brain Trainer that Harry reveals is very informative and fun to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Harry follow his father\u2019s footsteps to become an ultimate car lover? We shall see in a few years. All we know right now is that we are happy to teach young people how to drive safely. Harry, Paul is waiting for you in the car!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiff Needell is Britain\u2019s favourite automotive expert: racer, TV presenter, editor and dad.
