Senario - Glare Of The Sun After Rain

Have you ever considered different senarios that you may face when you are out on the road.

Here is a common one to consider.

Senario - So we’ve just had a downpour of rain and the sun has started to come out which is rather low in the sky. What do you need to consider or be aware of?

The glare off the sun on the road

As the the sun reflects the water on the road it causes a glare that affects the drivers visibility and makes the road markings more difficult to see.

How could you deal with this situation to make the driving condition easier to contend with?

At 4front Driving School we encourage our students to,

1) Use your sunglasses, (and bring them with you to each lesson so that you are prepared)
2) Use the sun visor to reduce the glare,
3) Slow down if your visibility is reduced to give yourself more time to make decisions and direct the car more safely and efficiently.
4) Remember to still check your mirrors as you will still be able to see how accurately you are positioned in the road.

Moving Off Safely and Smoothly

Moving off is safely, smoothly and with confidence is a key element to remember, get right and perfect. Try not to get your clutch control confused with the technique used when changing gear.  It will get easier and stay put in your mind like riding a bike. Get The Car Ready To Go It’s very important that before you complete your all round observations and signal to pull away that you’re car is actually ready to go. If you don't get the car into first gear and remove the handbrake / Parking brake (keeping your right foot on the brake) then the car is not ready to go and will cause delay and the situation will inevitably change and may no longer be safe to pull out. Your preparation process: Put the key in the ignition and turn until you hear the engine start Push down on the clutch and put the car in first gear Raise the clutch to the point that the car growls, then push down a bit - about the thickness of a pound coin Take off your handbrake but use the foot brake if you don’t fe...

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...

Therefore it is recognised as the safe practice when it comes to steering than other techniques. However when you pass your test it is up to you to decide what technique you adapt into your own Driving style or technique. https://youtu.be/fVxAa4BGXaM The Technique Explained Position your hands at 10 O'clock and 2 O’clock on the steering wheel as if you were driving in a straight line.  When you want to turn left, the left hand and right hand slide to 12 O'clock The left hand pulls the steerin...
