6/3/2017

Comments

 
1 - The Carpark: Back your car into the carpark. It will be easier to get forward out of the carpark. Leaving carpark when you turn left on the main road, angle the car it will be easier to turn.

2 - Right Turns: The roads are narrow, don't cut corners

3 - Roundabouts Dual lanes: Stay in your lane and indicated out

4 - Passing parked cars: Indicated to pass parked cars on narrow road, because you will be more then 1/2 way over the center line.

5 - Stop Signs: Fully stop and then check. pause and then move

6 - Lane Changing and Merging: Indicated till you are fully in the other lane.

7 -  Speed Control: Stay at the speed limit, including all temporary 30km roadworks.

8 - Hill Starts: Don't roll back, use your handbrake

9 - Keep Left: Reasonable to the left

10 - Flush Median: When turning right use them, when required.

As you drive: 

  • Search ahead for traffic.  Use the 12 second rule, Identify your potential hazards.
  • Use your mirrors to identify traffic behind you. 
  • Do a shoulder check (check your blind spot) when you need to change lanes or merge. 
  • Use your indicates to communicate your intentions.
  • Brake smoothly aim to let the car roll and stop. 
  • Adjust your speed that you are able to drive around and away from hazards, without sudden course corrections. 
  • Position your vehicle to avoid oncoming traffic.
  • We can't see everything at once, look as far away as you can, aim high and keep your eyes moving. Get the whole picture, don’t just focus on one potential hazard and miss the other hazards.

During the test is to :

  • Take your time and drive, don’t rush to finish the test. 
  • No one drives at the speed limit, (don’t keep up with other cars) go at your own pace. 50km – stay between 45 – 50
  • Fully STOP at STOP signs. (Count to 3 - go after 3 seconds)
  • Follow the give way rule. If you have to give way – GIVE WAY even if the other driver tells(signals) you to go, wait until you have to go.
  • Be prepared for everyone to move in front of you. 
  • As you approach an intersection, try to eye ball the other drivers, make sure that they are slowing down or have stopped for you. 
  • Don’t just go by the vehicle indicators but where the vehicle is on the road and which way are the wheels pointing 


The most common and most obvious reasons for failing your driving tests:

  • Failing to give-way or giving way to the wrong vehicle. 
  • Failing to fully stop at a stop sign. 
  • Exceeding the speed limit by more then 5-10km


Things you must NOT DO during your driving test:

  • Looking at the gear stick or feet when driving.
  • Driving with the clutch in too far before stopping.
  • Riding the clutch around corners / changing gears around corners.
  • Not stopping on an orange / amber light.
  • Failing to fully stop at a stop sign.
  • Only checking one side of the intersection. 
  • Following too closely and stopping too close to vehicles at traffic lights. 
  • Excessive using gears to slow down / using wrong gears. 
  • Leaving your hand on the gear stick.
  • Driving with one hand, keeping your hands crossed after you have made a turn.
