Learning to Drive Cock Pit Drill

Blue School of Motoring can tailor a driving course that will help you cope with all of the following. Your driving instructor can help you with this. Please learn this and carry it out in order every time you enter the car and sit in the driver's seat. Do not forget to take care walking into the road and before opening the driver's door. Opening a door carelessly can put you and others in danger. It may force them to brake or swerve and could cause an accident.
There is an easy way to remember:- DHSSSM

• D= Doors
• H= Handbrake
• S= Seat
• S= Steering
• S= Seatbelt
• M= Mirrors

• Make sure all the doors are closed
• Ensure your seat and head restraint are properly adjusted
• Check your mirrors are properly adjusted
• Fasten your seatbelt.
• Make sure the hand brake is on and the gearstick is in neutral before starting the engine

1. DOORS - Check they are securely closed. Make sure that any passengers have closed theirs. You are responsible for the safety of your passengers. A door not properly shut may fly open as you drive along.
2. HANDBRAKE- Check visually that the handbrake is in the up/on position.
3. SEAT - Adjust it for comfortable use of foot controls and steering. Push the pedal on the far left (clutch) down to the floor. You should be able to do this without stretching.
4. STEERING - Adjust seating position for comfortable steering Don't get too close or you may find it awkward to let the pedal up and you could knock your knee on the steering wheel.
5. SEATBELTS - Ensure all seatbelts are on correctly. The law requires that all passengers wear seatbelts where fitted, unless they have an exemption certificate. It is the driver's responsibility that children under 14 have the seat belt fastened.
6. MIRRORS - Adjust your mirrors. You should be able to see clearly in the mirror with the minimum of head movement. When adjusting, hold the mirror keeping your fingers off the glass. Adjust the door mirrors to reduce any 'blind spots'.
You are ready to switch on the engine, but before you do you have to check that the handbrake is on and the gear lever is in neutral.
Before you start driving the car make certain you know where the following instruments are located, the relevant areas are:

• accelerator
• foot brake
• clutch
• gears
• steering
• indicators
• starting/ignition

Speed limits

You MUST NOT exceed the maximum speed limits for the road and for your vehicle (see the table above). The presence of street lights generally means that there is a 30 mph (48 km/h) speed limit unless otherwise specified.

The speed limit is the absolute maximum and does not mean it is safe to drive at that speed irrespective of conditions. Driving at speeds too fast for the road and traffic conditions is dangerous. You should always reduce your speed when

·         the road layout or condition presents hazards, such as bends

·         sharing the road with pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders, particularly children, and motorcyclists

·         weather conditions make it safer to do so

·         driving at night as it is more difficult to see other road users

Stopping Distances. Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear. You should

·         leave enough space between you and the vehicle in front so that you can pull up safely if it suddenly slows down or stops. The safe rule is never to get closer than the overall stopping distance

·         allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front on roads carrying faster-moving traffic and in tunnels where visibility is reduced. The gap should be at least doubled on wet roads and increased still further on icy roads

·         remember, large vehicles and motorcycles need a greater distance to stop. If driving a large vehicle in a tunnel, you should allow a four-second gap between you and the vehicle in front

If you have to stop in a tunnel, leave at least a 5-metre gap between you and the vehicle in front.

Driving in adverse weather conditions, Arborfield

You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves.

Wet weather. In wet weather, stopping distances will be at least double those required for stopping on dry roads. This is because your tyres have less grip on the road. In wet weather

• you should keep well back from the vehicle in front. This will increase your ability to see and plan ahead
• if the steering becomes unresponsive, it probably means that water is preventing the tyres from gripping the road. Ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually
• the rain and spray from vehicles may make it difficult to see and be seen
• be aware of the dangers of spilt diesel that will make the surface very slippery (see 'Vehicle maintenance, safety and security')
• take extra care around pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders

Icy and snowy weather

In winter check the local weather forecast for warnings of icy or snowy weather. DO NOT drive in these conditions unless your journey is essential. If it is, take great care and allow more time for your journey. Take an emergency kit of de-icer and ice scraper, torch, warm clothing and boots, first aid kit, jump leads and a shovel, together with a warm drink and emergency food in case you get stuck or your vehicle breaks down.

Before you set off

• you MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows
• you MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible
• make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly
• remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users
• check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted

Work the hours that best fit in with your current lifestyle, and be assured the more you put in the more you get out, it happens to be one of most satisfying careers you will ever have. Driving Instructor careers.co.uk

Become a driving instructor and work for yourself as a franchised self employed driver trainer. You can start the process off with a free no obligation one to one meeting and discuss the courses in more detail. You will then be assigned a driving instructor trainer who will take you all way through your career training course.

So, you've decided to be a driving instructor, and you're now on the long journey to becoming a fully qualified ADI. Well done. You've taken the first steps on a voyage of self discovery.

The first thing you need to do is to write to the DSA for your application pack, and to register yourself as a trainee instructor. See our become a driving instructor area for all the details you need to get your new career off to a great start.

This area of the site has all the advice you need to pass the part 1 test and get yourself off to a great start on the road to the new life you've been dreaming of.

We'll try to help you pass the ADI part 1 theory test and show you the techniques you need to know to pass the ADI hazard perception test. But we need your help. E-mail us your part 1 experiences and help us to share them with the world. The trouble you have at part 1 may help a thousand people reading these pages. Help us to help you by telling us what you need to know, and by sharing your difficulties or triumphs with trainees everywhere.

The first of the exams on your route to qualification is in two parts, the ADI Theory Test and an on screen Hazard Perception Test (HPT). Both parts of the test must be taken together and you must pass both parts on the same attempt to progress towards the part two test.

Part one is entirely computer based. You will be asked 100 multiple choice questions about all aspects of driving and driver training. The questions follow a similar format to those set in the learner's theory test but cover a much wider spread of topics including teaching practice and principles.

The questions are banded into four sections and you must score 80% in each band and achieve an overall mark of 85% to pass. This means that it is possible to get a score of 94% and still fail if you are weak in a particular band of knowledge. In order to pass Part-One you also need to attain a pass mark of 57 in the HPT. If you do not achieve this you will have to do the whole test again, including the theory test, even if you gained 85% or higher in the questions.

The HPT comprises of a selection of short videos, showing real road scenes and potential hazards. You will be tested on fourteen film clips. These clips will be chosen at random from a selection of two hundred. You will be assessed on how soon you spot and respond to the dangers shown on screen. You will watch the video clips on a computer screen and you will need to click the mouse button at the correct time to identify the developing hazard ahead.

Your ADI trainer will advise you on the study materials you will need to have the best possible chance of passing this test, although everything you need is available in our Instructor Training Publications section.

We have no hesitation in recommending the Focus series of Theory Test discs. They are superb value for money and have everything you need to pass this test. You do not need to spend hundreds of pounds on passing part 1.

With the official bank of questions included in your DSA starter pack, and the Focus CD Rom's, you have everything you need.

Your trainer will also offer help and support, ensuring that you are fully prepared for the HPT and will guide you in your understanding of ‘developing hazards’ and the techniques used to pass.

Traditionally, trainee instructors are often simply left to pass part one with their own efforts and are then contacted by the trainers to continue with part two.

We believe that this approach misses out on vital skills that can be developed towards other parts of the qualifying process.

Part one should lay the foundations for your future knowledge of driving and teaching. We believe that you should incorporate training in hazard perception to an advanced level to prepare you for the work to come at part two and part three.

By adopting an integrated ‘holistic’ approach to ADI training, trainee instructors will develop an understanding of how the three parts of the qualifying process fit together and gain the greatest benefit from their training.

You may have as many attempts at this test as you need in order to pass.
