What to practise? Most   students   cover   our   Driving   Curriculum   in   the   first   three   lessons,   with   Lesson   4   as   a review   and   practice   of   all   skills   and   Lesson   5   as   a   review   and   pre-test   to   make   sure   the Learner   Driver   is   ready   for   the   Road   Test.      Some   students   require   extra   lessons.      Either way,   the   Learner   Driver   should   be   able   to   tell   you   about   their   most   recent   lesson.     Following   is   a   brief   description   of   what   is   covered   in   each   lesson   and   what   should   be practised.

Lesson 2 - Driving Lesson Curriculum Moderate traffic situations (city streets): - driving techniques to manage the position of the car in traffic and change lanes safely - managing major intersections with four-way stops and traffic lights - awareness of pedestrian traffic and traffic hazards Complex traffic situations: - driving techniques to manage city streets with heavier vehicular and pedestrian traffic Lesson 2 - Continuing Practice Moderate traffic situations (city streets): - entering traffic - traffic spacing (following distance, vehicles to the sides, staying out of other vehicle’s blind spots) - speed control - lane changes with mirrors, signal and shoulder check - four-way stops at major intersections - turns into the correct lane at major intersections with signals and shoulder checks - traffic lights - right turn on red, left turn by advancing into intersection - roundabouts (suggest you avoid Armdale until Learner is more experienced) Complex traffic situations: - gradually work into using the suggested routes, but avoid rush-hour traffic (no point spending practice time sitting in a traffic jam)
