Remember - this is valuable time for both the instructor and the learner - it allows the learner to get into the correct 'learn to drive' mind set and offers the instructor an insight into the current mental and physical state of their pupil.   This helps ensure  that lessons are delivered at a pace and the right time, in the right way for the learner.
