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 4 - Continuing Practice By   the   end   of   Lesson   4   all   skills   in   the   curriculum   should   have   been   covered   in   the Driving   Lessons.      Go   to   a   parking   lot   and   practise   reverse   parking   into   a   stall   and   then reverse    parking    next    to    another    vehicle    and    finally    reverse    parking    between    two vehicles.      Continue   to   practise   around   major intersections   and   continue   to   stress   shoulder checks    and    watching    for    pedestrians.        Car handling   and   control   should   be   smooth   and increasingly     precise.          The     Learner     Driver should      be      able      to      identify      and      avoid potentially   hazardous   situations   (pedestrians, bicycles,   speeding   and   inattentive   drivers)   and should   be   able   to   maintain   a   suitable   following distance    behind    other    vehicles    and    a    safe space   to   the   sides   of   the   car.      Merging   into cross   traffic   at   an   intersection   will   continue   to need   practice   for   some   time   -   it   is   difficult   for new drivers to judge speed and distance.
