Searching as you drive for your driving test

7/7/2014

Comments

 
Searching as you drive for your driving test. Especially for the Restricted Test but also for the Full Driving Test. I have noticed that towards the end / on the way back to the test center after driving for 30-40 minutes my students start to lose focus and don't search as much as they were doing at the start.

Build up your tolerance, be able to drive for over 1 hour while being focused.

Flush Medians

How to use a Flush Median

It’s alright to drive on a flush median for a short distance if you’re turning into or out of a side road or driveway. You can use them to slow down before making a right-hand turn, or to merge left into a gap in the traffic flow.

If you’re using the flush median to make a right-hand turn you should indicate, then steer gently onto the median rather than at an abrupt angle. Use the median as an area to slow down and brake. This way the following traffic doesn’t have to slow down rapidly to avoid you.

Carry out a similar manoeuvre if you’re using the flush median as a refuge before merging into traffic on your left. Remember to indicate and check your mirrors, accelerate, and move gently into a gap in the traffic.

When you’re using a flush median, always remember to watch out for pedestrians, other vehicles using the median and any raised islands.

High Speed Zones: Changing Lanes

15/5/2014

Comments

 
When doing your restricted test in a rural area like Westgate or Pukekohe, for the high speed zone parts you are required to change lanes. 

When you see a sign saying "Passing Lanes Ahead, Keep Left Unless Passing"

The testing officer will tell you to, "please move into the right lane".

Just like before when ever you see you 2 lanes be prepared to change lanes.

Once you move into the right lane they you ask you to move over into the left lane.

Beware of vehicle that might try to overtake you on the left.
