Topics will include stopping distances and safety margins, anticipation, seeing other road users and being seen, how to avoid skids and how to correct them should they occur.

 

 

Module 3: Rural Driving

 

Another practical session which involves driving on all types of rural roads, including approaching bends, hills, blind areas, and poor road surfaces.

 

Overtaking safely proper observations and making progress will also be covered with particular emphasis on approaching farm entrances animals and slower moving vehicles, muddy roads and making use of headlights and the horn.

 

 

Module 4: Night Driving

 

This will wherever practical take place after lighting up time and will cover the correct use of your lights, seeing others and being seen by others, looking for and recognising reflective signs and road markings etc.

 

It will also include judging the speed of others and yourself, adjusting to differing lights (dusk and dawn).

 

 

Module 5: Dual Carriageways

 

This is a practical session and will include, joining and leaving, taking effective observations and making use of mirrors, eliminating blind spots, judging safety margins, forward planning, overtaking and general driving at higher speeds for longer periods.

As a new driver you may never have driven on a motorway. They are unlike any other road, having more lanes, a higher volume of traffic and rules and signs that only relate to motorways.

 

The objectives are the same as on a dual carriageway but with emphasis on the above.
