Look Out For The Driver Pulling Out & Turning Right

Look out for the car pulling out and turning right. He can't see around the parked cars. How would you react? When did you see the situation develop?

This was filmed on dash cam and is designed for students to realise that situations can change at any moment and therefore to be prepared to react and deal with situations effectively. Why not pause the video at the moment you see the situation and try and imagine how it may escalate. Some elements of the situation develop in a fraction of a second so it is important be aware and react if necessary. This will help you prepare for your lessons, hazard perception and test. There are many situations that can develop and we hope that this video helps you with your learning.

Forward Bay Park

How To Achieve A Perfect Forward Bay Park If you are asked to do a forward bay park as your manoeuvre during your driving test then you would be directed to a public car park (Reverse bays would take place at the test centre car park if it has one). At which point you would be asked to choose a space on the left or the right and park your car safely forwards into a bay. To do this safely and correctly - at 4front Driving School , we advise our students to keep the car positioned to the left if you are choosing a space on the right. And vice versa keep the car positioned to the right if you are choosing a space on the left. Depending on how busy the car park is will probably affect the decision you make regarding choice of space. You may also need to indicate early if the car park is busy so that you don't build up a backlog of drivers getting frustrated with you stopping. However, the more confident and competent you become with this manoeuvre, the quicker, s...

crossings

Types of pedestrian crossings When learning to drive a focus of a lesson can be based around pedestrian crossings. During your driving test, the examiner will be looking at how you deal with or react to pedestrian crossings. They want to make sure that you are planning ahead, showing awareness and responding to them them in the safest possible way. Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles. Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and ...

Setting a goal and how to achieve it

Those who write down their goals are more likely to achieve their goal than those that don't. You should carry your goal with you and reflect on its progress and development in the form of a reflective journal. Goals that can be measured and set within an achieveable time frame sre more effective. Explaining your goals to others can increase your chances of achieving them as others share ideas and support you in your aims. Avoid keeping your goals to yourself, they tend to get lost or forgotten amongst other things that begin to take over. Goals need commitment and, regular reflection and motivation. Achieving a goal often means sacrificing something or putting aside certain habits. Achieving a goal can be very energising- the greater the goal, the greater the achievement and the more energising it becomes. When you choose to learn to drive you are setting yourself not only an end goal but many goals along the way. Each goal is an achievement which takes time, effort and commitmen...
