Your instructor will explain the various legal and medical requirements that must be met; for example, you will be asked to read a number plate at the appropriate distance. In addition you will be asked a few questions about your previous driving experience, if any.
The first things that you will be taught are simple safety checks and procedures. Although easy to learn, these drills are essential to safe driving. Until you have learned them, it may be necessary for your instructor to drive you to an area where you can practise in absolute safety. Once you have acquired the basic skills, then your instructor will begin to teach you how to deal with other traffic.
Each time that you learn something new, your instructor will give you full instruction, even though it may seem simple. The second and subsequent times that you do it, the amount of instruction being given will be reduced until only key words and phrases are used. Finally, instruction will cease and you will be totally responsible for that part of your driving.
Your instructor will be aware at all times of the responsibilities he has to you; he will act as your supervisor until it is time for the driving examiner to say that you are safe to make all your own decisions. |
