Tips for success and safe driving 
(planning Ahead)

It is important to be a safe driver who handles the vehicle sympathetically and economically. To be able to drive with courtesy and consideration. Here at 4front Driving School we aim to help you achieve this.

To help you progress to this level look and plan well ahead, anticipating what may happen and compensate for the mistakes of others. Try and explain why you made those decisions and talk to your instructor about it. Your commentary may benefit you when taking your test as it helps to reinforce your decisions to the examiner.
