Proactive V Reactive driving

This lesson is (a gestalt lesson) designed to help you reflect on the advantages and challenges you experience during your driving lessons. Are you practising proactive or reactive driving? If this concept is new to you, welcome to your client-centred lesson. Consider which topics you have already covered so far: 

• The cockpit drill 
• Moving off and stopping 
• The holding-back position 
• Overtaking parked and slower-moving vehicles 
• Maintaining adequate clearance when overtaking 
• The two-second rule 
• Turning left, right, and emerging onto main roads

Fundamental skill The M.S.M, P.O.M would have been discussed on most of your lessons so far, so, todays briefing sheet is for you (the student) to understand using two simple drills. These 2 drills can make you’re driving so much better and it will give you safe driving for life skill and “passing your driving test” so much easier to pass. Why not take 5 minutes to educate yourself just by taking the time to read this brief. If you look at the DL25 this is the driving test form that will be used on your driving test, in the middle section of this sheet is use of mirrors and signal and we will also be looking at forward planning.
