MSPSL DRIVING ROUTINE MSPSL routine is an abbreviation of Mirror, Signal, Position, Speed, Look. At 4front Driving School we encourage our students to use this process to become safe and competent drivers.  MSPSL is an extension of the old school familiar process MSM (Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre). You are expected to follow this process throughout your driving test and beyond. During the process of learning to drive, the MSPSL routine will have been explained to you from day one of your driving lessons at 4front Driving School. MSPSL should be applied on approaching any junction type and applied to other driving situations such as changing lanes and overtaking as well as dealing with traffic lights, crossings and completing manoeuvres.  During a driving test, the examiner will be expecting you to demonstrate proficiency of the MSPSL routine in a safe, appropriately timed and courteous manner.

At 4front Driving School we describe a situation to our students that delivers a senario. Imagine a child had stepped out in-front of your moving vehicle. You would need to react almost instantly to avoid harming the child, bringing the vehicle to an abrupt but safe stop. To represent an emergency situation the examiner will say they will raise his/her hand and call out STOP! At which point you need to react. To do this you are expected to hit the brake pedal as quickly and firmly as possible to bringing the vehicle to a stop as quickly and as safely as possible. Don't be afraid to hit the pedal hard, it is designed to deal with this kind of abuse. You are expected to apply the clutch after the brake pedal and not before to stop the engine stalling or...

4front Driving School Driving Lessons in & around Loughborough Roundabouts A  roundabout  (also known as a traffic island) is a road circle joining three or more roads. Drivers follow a simple rule to avoid accidents. In the UK where we drive on the left: At the island you must give way to traffic coming from your right as they have priority. The driver goes round the island in a clockwise direction. Roundabouts aren’t just tricky for learner drivers, many experienced drivers with years of driving under their belt can find these sections of road the hardest to manage. Thankfully, there are a number of rules to keep you and other drivers alike safe. The aim of the roundabout is to keep the traffic flowing, but this can only be achieved if everyone on the roundabout keeps to these rules. Among these are rules on how to signal on approach to and when coming off of a roundabout. You can read up more on roundabouts in the highway code. Priority You should give way to traff...

The cockpit drill  is a sequence of checks which you should carry out whenever you get into your vehicle, especially if someone else has previously driven the vehicle as you need to set it up for your own comfort, vision and safety.  There are a number of tasks to perform to achieve the cockpit drill.

Driving Tips For Success 1. Doing a bit of homework for yourself can really help. Your instructor may set you some tasks to do, things to reflect on or read up on. Try searching YouTube to get some information about the driving syllabus and what to expect on the day of the test. Many people have made blogs on their own experiences that may come in handy. Also the DVSA have published their own set of videos to support you.  Some of the videos may relate to the lesson you have just had or the lesson planned for next week that you will be doing, i.e. roundabouts and dual carriageways are a really good place to start.  2. Get involved, at the end of each of your lessons, it is advisable to have a look back on the lesson and have a chat with your instructor on what you need to work on to improve and better your progress. You could compile a summary of the lesson to self reflect. What went well? What Didn't go so well? And what do I want to improve on as a personal target for next l...

Awareness and planning The behaviour of other drivers could jeopardise your test. You need to be aware of what everybody around you is doing. Your rear view mirror will help determin if a driver is coming up fast from behind, driving to close or atempting to overtake. Avoid getting caught out with drivers undertaking you, keep to the left if the road is clear on the dual carriageway. Look ahead and into roundabouts, what are the cars doing and how are they driving? Is there lack of indication, are they driving fast, where are the positioned, how will they affect you? At the end of the day you want a pass - awareness and planning is a key part in driving success. Be the driver you want to be.

Tips to pass your driving test. You are the one taking the test so take control, say that you are going to correct your manoeuvre don't ask. If music helps calm your nerves request to have the radio on or have your iPod connected ready to play quietly in the background. Be an instructor in your head, reflect back on everything you have learnt and tell yourself what you need to do when faced with directions or obstacles. Stay calm, focus and believe in yourself. Don't let anyone around you jeopardise your test. You can do it. 4front Driving School 

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.  This will help you prepare for the hazard perception test as you are looking and planning well ahead to anticipate and prepare for hazards before you reach them. Start looking early junctions so that you can take opportunities to proceed as soon as you are sure it is safe to do so.
