03. Disorders during learning and myths
Basic information and introduction.
Learning to Drive with an Anxiety Disorder
We are different. We also acquire knowledge and skills in different ways. You have to accept what you are and adapt your driving lessons to your abilities. Your instructor understands this and will not expect you to learn everything in 1 or 2 weeks. Repeat, ask, correct and have fun while learning to drive.
DRIVING GUIDE
01. Mirrors
Basic information and introduction.
When to Check Your Mirrors
Checking the mirrors before making a maneuver is one of the most important things a driver can do. Your every decision depends on how effectively you assess the situation in your mirrors. Failure to properly assess the traffic situation in your mirrors is one of the most common reasons for failing a practical test.
02. Position on the road
Basic information and introduction.
How to Judge the Width of your Car
Maintaining the correct position on the road is one of the basic skills of a new driver. First and foremost, it is important to choose the lane position correctly depending on the maneuver to be carried out. The lane discipline should be practiced from the first hour of driving.
03. Braking
Basic information and introduction.
Progressive braking
How you brake in different traffic situations will affect your safety and safety of others. It is not enough just to stop your car in a certain place. It would be best if you did it in such a way that you don’t create a dangerous situation and at the same time give others time to react.
04. Signalling
Basic information and introduction.
Signalling / Indicating Correctly
Signalling your manoeuvres requires proper planning and execution. Signalling a manoeuvre too early can mislead other road users. Signalling too late or unnecessarily introduces confusion on the road and can lead to dangerous situations. It is also important to apply the MSM principle correctly.
05. Planning
Basic information and introduction.
Anticipation and Planning Driving
The basis of a well-executed manoeuvre on the road is planning and execution. To plan well what you want to do on the road you need to get information. This is done by adjusting the right speed and observing correctly. The rest is the execution of what you have planned. If you expect pleasant, safe and responsible driving, you need to learn to plan your next moves.
06. Observating and signaling
Basic information and introduction.
Observation at Junctions and Roundabouts
Your decision depends on how you observe the traffic situation. If you do this correctly, you will have enough information to decide whether to stop or continue driving. If you want to make the right observation, you also need to meet other traffic conditions such as correct road position and speed.
07. Roundabouts
Basic information and introduction.
Roundabouts Driving Lesson
Roundabouts are some of the most skill-intensive places in traffic. These intersections have specific traffic rules. In particular, spiral – multi-way roundabouts require a lot of practice and experience. However, it only takes a little time to make decisions properly at such places.
08. Crossroads type T
Basic information and introduction.
T-Junctions for Beginners
Every t-junction requires attention and observation. Particularly when you have limited visibility on the left or right or both sides. In this case, it is better to stop for a moment before the line and have a good look around and then move off on a peep and creep basis. You can do it.
09. Complicated crossroads and roundabouts
Basic information and introduction.
Advanced Crossroads
Sometimes we have to deal with road intersections that have several lanes. These have horizontal signs – arrows – which indicate the correct direction of travel at the junction. These require special attention, driving speed, observation and the right decision.
10. Maneuvers
Basic information and introduction.
How to Pull Up On The Left Perfectly
Here you will find tutorials on the compulsory manoeuvres during the test. Whether you perform some of them or not depends on the examiner. However, you’ll need to know and be able to perform them in traffic. Pull up to the left. Pull up to the right—two car lengths rivers. Forward bay parking. Reverse bay car park. Parallel reverse parking. Emergency stop.
11. Pedestrian crossing
Basic information and introduction.
Pedestrian crossings
All pedestrian crossings have special legal protection. They serve to allow vulnerable road users to cross the road safely. You must show special attention at these places.
12. Traffic lights
Basic information and introduction.
When you should pass a Red Traffic Light
Traffic lights make it easier to organise your passage through an intersection or pedestrian crossing. However, you must keep a close eye on the changing lights above all when you are approaching a junction. A quick assessment in front of and behind your car will allow you to stop safely when the traffic lights at the intersection require it.
13. U turn
Basic information and introduction.
How to do a U turn
Making a U-turn on a road or at some intersection is a very useful skill. You need to know where and how to perform it.
14. Independent driving
Basic information and introduction.
Independent Driving On The Test
One element of the practical test is ‘independent driving’, i.e. driving in accordance with information from satellite navigation or as read on road signs. This driving without an examiner takes about 15-20 minutes and requires good skills in understanding information, interpreting it and making decisions.
15. Motorways
Basic information and introduction.
Joining Motorways and How to Drive on a Motorway
Normally, you will only take to the motorway when your skills have fully reached a level that allows you to pass the practical test. It is possible to go out on the motorway during the practical test, but most test centres do not do this. It is worth asking your instructor if you could drive on the motorway.
