Episode Synopsis
Link to Drive Hart https://linktr.ee/drivehartThis podcast covers how to turn into a side road on the left. In this early manoeuvre the parent supervisors role is key in ensuring the following: Give the Learner really early instruction - don't leave it to the last minute - about 20 car lengths back tell them what you want them to do (clearly and simply) to give them time to process your information and then to respond.... Start/prompt the learner to use the - Mirror, Signal, Position, Speed/Gear and look/assess/decide and act (our core driving process) 8-10 lengths before the turn. Get the speed down to below 10 mph or lower on approach as this gives greater car controlObservations need to be strong into the junction to see if any obstructions and mirrors and observations when you have straighten up in your new road to see who is behind you (rear mirror) and right mirror (to see who is overtaking if anyone). Strong observations - as you turn watch what is coming up alongside, when in new road check rear and right to see if anyone is overtaking or coming up behind you!Keep it slow when turn is difficulty, or closed (cannot see into the new road) probably 1st gear below 10 mph. If slightly open and can see into the new road can be taken at 2nd but keep speed slow. Summary Key pointers:Early instruction is key - be clear and concise "I want you to take the next road on the left"Strong use of the core driving process (MSPSL-ADA) and observationsGet the speed out - approach slowly and in correct gear (1st or 2nd) If you want to see any more resources and videos and courses go to our websitewww.sarahhartdrivingschool.comwe are also on facebook under - sarahhartdrivingschool drivehart ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our journey int podcasting has been ably supported by the Buzzsprout team and if you want to dDrive Hart = No 1 Sponsors of Drive.ZoneDrive Hart Limited - Gov.
