Terms and conditions
This document contains my terms and conditions that you need to accept before we can organise any lessons together
The 'rules' are there just to make sure that everything is fair for all my clients . . . and for me too!
The Car Controls and Cockpit drill
This is the first lesson that we'll be doing together, and it's really important that you get off to a great start . . . This fact sheet will remind you of the cockpit drill and how important it is to get the car controls set up just right!
Moving Off and Stopping
When you learn how to Move Off from the side of the road, it's important to do so safely . . . You'll need to learn the POM routine to make sure that each and every time you move off it's safe and under full control
We'll also be looking at what a 'Safe, Convenient and Legal' position is for stopping at the side of the road This will be your introduction to the most important routine in driving . . . the msm (or ms-psl) routine. MSM is the routine that we use to deal with each and every hazard that we see on the roads as we drive
Approaching Junctions
The Approaching lesson is the first time that you'll really use the msm routine in some 'real' driving situations! In this lesson, we'll look at turning into a side road from a main road, under full control and in total safety
It's really important to work hard at this lesson and get the foundations just right . . . the better you can use the msm routine now, the better and easier your driving will become
Emerging From Junctions
This is the next step! Now that you've learned to Approach junctions properly, we can concentrate on Emerging. Emerging is leaving a side road and 'merging' into the traffic on the main road, usually through a 'give way' or 'stop' junction You'll really develop your control of the car at slow speeds on this lesson, and you'll learn about the coordination needed to control the car using good clutch control
Emergency Stop
On this lesson we'll learn the Emergency Stop which will allow you to bring the car to a complete stop in case of anything unexpected happening in front of you . . . Only about one in three driving tests include the Emergency Stop, so you probably won't get asked to do it on your test
You need to make sure that you can do it properly anyway . . . because one day you may just be very glad that you did
Anticipation and Planning
When you learn the skills of Anticipation and Planning, you can usually avoid any need to do the emergency stop! This is a subject that will be a constant theme throughout your lessons, right up to your driving test
Adequate Clearance
Adequate Clearance deals with the skill of leaving a safety bubble all around the car You need to make sure that you have enough space to the front and back of the car, and not just to the sides
Again, this is a subject that will run through all of your lessons, and you'll learn to give the correct clearance right up to your driving test
Crossroads
Use this fact sheet to remind yourself of the correct way to deal with Crossroads, and how to do the all important observations
You'll use the ms-psl routine to deal with crossroads safely, and you'll definitely drive through at least one or two on your test!
Pedestrian Crossings
You'll find them in town, near to roundabouts and busy junctions, close to the shops . . . Pedestrian Crossings are everywhere and we need to deal with them safely at all times
As well as being found almost everywhere, pedestrian crossings come in many different flavours and shapes . . . zebras, pelicans, toucans and many more . . . the good news is that we deal with them all by using the same routine . . . ms-psl . . . and you've learned that already!
Mirrors and Signals
As you drive you'll need to take in the information around you, and give other drivers the information they need about what you intend to do
Good use of your Mirrors and Signals will help you to see what's happening all around you, and to make sure that you tell other drivers all they need to know . . . it's all just about taking and using information effectively and safely
Reverse Left
You'll soon find that you'll be learning all the manoeuvres that you need to know to pass the driving test . . . The Reverse Left is a great exercise that helps you to develop your coordination and car control skills, and with a little help and practice, you'll soon have it covered!
Turn In The Road
This fact sheet will help you to learn all you need to know about the Turn in the Road . . . As always, the observations are the key to driving test success Practice your control skills, stay calm, keep the car moving slowly, keep up the observations and you'll soon be up to test standard
Parallel Park
In this lesson you'll learn all about the Reverse Park, sometimes called the parallel park
Once you've mastered this manoeuvre, you'll be able to park the car in restricted spaces. This is an exercise that often takes some practice to master, but with me helping you, we'll soon get there together!
Driving Economically
Why drive economically?
There are a number of reasons:
Obviously, it will save you money It is a more relaxed, and therefore a safer style of driving. You will complete your journey with less stress. There will be MUCH less wear and tear on your car and tyres (which will save you even more money) You will put out far less pollutants into the atmosphere
So what factors do we need to bear in mind when we want to drive economically?
First and foremost, remember that every time you accelerate or brake hard, you are wasting fuel. So try to accelerate more gently and smoothly
By reading the road and traffic conditions well ahead you can anticipate when you may need to reduce speed. Come off the gas early, brake gently, and when appropriate, regain your speed smoothly again
Drive in the highest gear you can which is suitable for the speed at which you are traveling. Remember that in a higher gear the engine is turning slower and will therefore use less fuel
5th gear can be used on most cars at 40 mph, or more, and should be used on any road when traveling at or above this speed. Most modern cars will give extremely good fuel consumption at around 50-60 miles per hour
So remember, drive smoothly, anticipate changes in speed and respond early, make good and sensible use of the gears, and you will get the most out of every precious drop of fuel
