About

At the end of each driving test or lessons at Pass Faster - Intensive Driving Courses in Birmingham stage, there are some multiple-choice and multiple response questions similar to those you will take in your theory test. The questions are designed to help you judge how well you have learned from this book, your lessons and the rules of driving from The Highway Code. Choose the most appropriate answers and check with the answer list in Appendix 2. Record your scores and try again if you need to. Using illustrations to help you understand Most of the key learning points are illustrated with diagrams. This will help you to:
understand more easily;
recognize risks earlier;
predict danger; and
avoid conflict with other road users.
Many of the illustrations in this book are adapted from Colourfile Professional, the driver training aid by John Wells, which is approved by the lead body in the driver training profession, the Driving Instructors Association (DIA). These tried-and-tested diagrams are clear, easily understood and used by thousands of professional instructors. Introduction 5 Learning in stages Tries to follow the sequence of the stages, making sure you have learned and practised all of the points before going on to the next. Sometimes the area you live in may mean that some topics will need to be covered in a different sequence. For example, if you live near roundabouts and dual carriageways you will have to be taught how to drive on them fairly early on in your course of lessons. The manoeuvre exercises can be introduced at any point. However, it is advisable that your clutch control skills are fairly well developed before you start learning how to reverse, as you will be more confident and achieve success more easily. Using this guide as your personal logbook When learning something new, your instructor/supervisor should begin by giving you a full explanation and ‘talk-through’ practice. As your skill improves, you should progress and carry out the various tasks with less assistance. Finally, you should be able to complete the exercises without any help at all. Use this book to chart your progress when you have studied and then practised each exercise. You can get your instructor and supervisor to help by adding their constructive comments as well. Keep practising each skill until you and your instructor are happy with your progress and then proceed to the next topic. You should be ready for a practical test when you are confident that you can complete all the exercises in this book without any help from your instructor.
