Online Driving Lessons: Help or Hazard | UK News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 18, 2026 Duration: 2:10

Young drivers are turning to TikTok and YouTube to slash driving lesson costs, but experts warn that while these videos can help with specific maneuvers or test prep, they’re no substitute for hands-on training. Misinformation—especially from AI-generated content—could mislead new drivers and endanger lives. Instructors stress that real-world skills, not just theory, save lives, and while official bodies like the DVSA endorse vetted online content as a supplement, road safety demands professional guidance. Online tools can be useful—but only when paired with real instructors behind the wheel.
