MANUAL CAR DRIVING LESSONS
AUTOMATIC CAR DRIVING LESSONSWhen backing out of your driveway are you sure there isn't a skateboarder on the footpath about to cross your driveway?
Hang back before overtaking to get a better view. If in doubt - don't do it.
When turning right from a main road to a small road, leave space in front to move forward to meet the gap in the approaching traffic
When railway barriers are going up, wait. There might be a second train. Ensure that the red lights and bells have stopped and the gates are completely up before proceeding.
Don't accelerate up to stationary traffic, or speed away from it. Doing so causes a chain reaction and may cause collisions five or six cars back from you.
Is there an oncoming vehicle turning right at the lights? If you can't see him, he can't see you, make a point of looking for him.
Follow trucks at a distance so you can see and be seen by the driver.
Be aware that it is possible for loads to become loose and accidentally drop off the back of trucks and trailers.
Sometimes following a heavy truck is good because it will never be able to stop quicker than you. Beware, if it is following you, you may stop too quickly for it.
When you come across a regulatary sign of 40 km on the side of the road and a sign 'men at work' reduce your speed to 40km/hr
Full beam obliterates on-coming headlights so only turn them on occasionally and when there is no oncoming traffic to light up dark areas when on a bendy, hilly road.
Signal for a turn before disappearing over a hill or around a bend so the following vehicle knows what to expect when he reaches you.
Light rain after a hot week is treacherous. Dust and light rain make a very slippery driving surface.
When you are blinded by the sun, shielding your eyes from the sun with your hands.
Be aware that people with diminished judgment may step out on to the road. Be especially aware around Pubs and clubs, sporting events, schools, and elderly citizens clubs.
At night, look for headlights shining across the carriageway from a side street as evidence of a car entering your carriageway.
When following a taxi, the driver could respond to a sudden instruction from the passenger.
Just before going down a steep hill, test your brakes.
At night, look for headlights shining across the carriageway from a side street as evidence of a car entering your carriageway.
Use reverse gear so that the reverse lights alert others that you are moving back, don't just roll back using gravity.
Use headlights on rainy days because other driver's windows fog up and impair their vision.
Older drivers may not be able to turn their heads or look back very easily, so watch them when you are in their blind spot or driving past the driveway and reversing.
Put headlights on early in the evening - especially dark cars (or white cars in fog).
