Top tips for your Driving Test

With more and more people learning to drive, Blue School of Motoring presents a guide of Top Tips to help you with your practical driving test.

The biggest driving test tip is not to book a driving test unless you feel ready! If you don’t feel confident, check with your driving instructor whether you are ready for your driving test.

It’s natural to feel slightly nervous on the day of your driving test. Don’t let this worry you too much. Stay calm and drive as you have been driving with your driving instructor, don’t drive any differently just because an examiner is sitting next to you.

Always check your mirrors and indicate before stopping or moving off during your driving test. Look carefully over your shoulder to check your blind spots. Failure to do the latter will most certainly get you a minor fault mark, and could be potentially hazardous to other road users.

Don’t look down at the gear stick when you change gear during your driving test. You should always keep your eyes on the road, constantly scanning the far, middle and near distance.

Always indicate correctly and in good time, this helps other road to know your intentions.

Do not stop at every junction during your driving test unless it is necessary. For example, if you stop at a roundabout when it’s obvious that you’re clear to go, you may pick up marks for hesitancy. However, where the road sign tells you to “Stop”, you must do so.

Don’t get too close to stationary vehicles or obstructions. Always keep a look out for pedestrians stepping out onto the road.

Punjabi & Urdu Hindi Driving Instructors

Your first lesson – What to expect?

If you speak Punjabi & Urdu Hindi we have driving instructors that can teach in these languages.

Your Blue School of Motoring instructor will pick you up from your home, school or place of work. Your driving instructor will then explain to you how your driving course is going to work. What to prepare for how to study for the theory test, there will be a lot going on in your first lesson, so a two hour session is usually the norm. You will driven somewhere away from busy streets, so you do not have to deal with any complex traffic situations on your first lesson. Bring along or wear some sensible shoes that will make using the foot controls easier.

Don’t worry if you forget anything, your instructor will use a drivers record of progress, which keeps a track of all that you have done.

Car control can be a lot to take in at first – it’s all about physical motor reactions, which sometimes require a new range of skills, response times and hand-to-eye co-ordination skills. Even a simple procedure like moving off involves dealing with the clutch, gears, handbrake, indicators and checking the mirrors – it’s like you’re in multitasking overdrive. But don’t worry, your instructor will go over these area’s time and time again until you gradually begin to do more on your own.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, that’s what your instructor expects, and will encourage you to do, if you don’t ask you will never learn. But don’t worry if this makes you uncomfortable – hopefully you’ll relax as you become familiar with the situation.

It is recommended that prior to taking your test you should have had 40 hours in-car tuition with a qualified driving instructor and then another 25-30 hours practice with friends or family.

These tips are provided in conjunction with Blue School of Motoring – a driving school that gets results for learner drivers.

We strongly recommend that all candidates prepare thoroughly for the test. To help prepare we recommend The Highway Code, relevant books from our Essential Skills series and Know Your Traffic Signs. The official theory test books and CD-Roms contain the multiple choice questions. The CD-Roms show screens similar to those used in the multiple-choice part of the test and information about hazard perception.

Being a safe driver with good hazard perception skills means being able to use speed correctly, keeping the correct distance between yourself and other road users, scanning the road effectively, anticipating and planning for potential hazards.

All these skills can be taught effectively. You should prepare with a ‘Blue’ professional instructor as part of a structured programme of on-road tuition, covering the recommended driving syllabus.

Good luck with your driver training programme, and don’t forget if you need any help, just ask.

Driving in adverse weather conditions

 

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

 

When driving in icy or snowy weather

·         drive with care, even if the roads have been treated

·         keep well back from the road user in front as stopping distances can be ten times greater than on dry roads

·         take care when overtaking vehicles spreading salt or other de-icer, particularly if you are riding a motorcycle or cycle

·         watch out for snowploughs which may throw out snow on either side. Do not overtake them unless the lane you intend to use has been cleared

·         be prepared for the road conditions to change over relatively short distances

·         listen to travel bulletins and take note of variable message  signs that may provide information about weather, road and traffic conditions ahead

 

Drive extremely carefully when the roads are icy. Avoid sudden actions as these could cause loss of control. You should

·         drive at a slow speed in as high a gear as possible; accelerate and brake very gently

·         drive particularly slowly on bends where loss of control is more likely. Brake progressively on the straight before you reach a bend. Having slowed down, steer smoothly round the bend, avoiding sudden actions

·         check your grip on the road surface when there is snow or ice by choosing a safe place to brake gently. If the steering feels unresponsive this may indicate ice and your vehicle losing its grip on the road. When travelling on ice, tyres make virtually no noise

·         Windy weather

 

High-sided vehicles are most affected by windy weather, but strong gusts can also blow a car, cyclist, motorcyclist or horse rider off course. This can happen on open stretches of road exposed to strong crosswinds, or when passing bridges or gaps in hedges.

 

In very windy weather your vehicle may be affected by turbulence created by large vehicles. Motorcyclists are particularly affected, so keep well back from them when they are overtaking a high-sided vehicle.

 

Fog

 

Before entering fog check your mirrors then slow down. If the word ‘Fog’ is shown on a roadside signal but the road is clear, be prepared for a bank of fog or drifting patchy fog ahead. Even if it seems to be clearing, you can suddenly find yourself in thick fog.

 

When driving in fog you should

·         use your lights as required

·         keep a safe distance behind the vehicle in front. Rear lights can give a false sense of security

·         be able to pull up well within the distance you can see clearly. This is particularly important on motorways and dual carriageways, as vehicles are travelling faster

·         use your windscreen wipers and demisters

·         beware of other drivers not using headlights

·         not accelerate to get away from a vehicle which is too close behind you

·         check your mirrors before you slow down. Then use your brakes so that your brake lights warn drivers behind you that you are slowing down

·         stop in the correct position at a junction with limited visibility and listen for traffic. When you are sure it is safe to emerge, do so positively and do not hesitate in a position that puts you directly in the path of approaching vehicles

 

You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves.

 

 

Hot weather. Keep your vehicle well ventilated to avoid drowsiness. Be aware that the road surface may become soft or if it rains after a dry spell it may become slippery. These conditions could affect your steering and braking. If you are dazzled by bright sunlight, slow down and if necessary, stop.

 

Driving Instructor Training

Driving Instructor Training

Welcome to the Blue School of Motoring Driving Instructor Training. Blue is a training company that only uses ORDIT registered instructors.  Blue offers the complete training programme for anybody who wishes to train as a driving instructor.

                                                                 

Train to become a fully qualified driving instructor, and work for yourself. A driving instructor training course with Blue School of Motoring Ltd can help you to pass all of the qualifying exams.

 

From Part 1,2 & 3. The course is designed to fit around your current career.  Blue School of Motoring Driving Instructor Training has a variety of flexible training options, to fit in with your current situation.

 

There are also courses available for existing ADI’s who would like some additional training, such as Check Test Training or help on improving your pass rate, whatever it is, we can help structure the course for you.

 

The Driving Instructor Tests

The 3 Tests cover the road you need to take to qualify as a Driving Instructor.

 

Part’s 1,2 & 3

 

The qualification examination is in three parts:

 

• a computer based theory test

 

• a practical test of your driving ability

 

• a practical test of your ability to instruct

 

You must take and pass all three parts of the examination in this order and you must complete the whole examination within two years of passing the theory test. If you are unable to complete the examinations within this time you must start again from the beginning and pass each part again.

 

You can take the theory test as many times as you want but you are only allowed a maximum of three attempts at each of the practical tests within each two year qualification period. Additionally, you cannot start the qualifying process again until two years has passed since you last passed your theory test.

 

Most people undertake training with an organisation which specialises in this field and we would recommend that you do so.  This is not a legal requirement and you can apply for the examinations without having undertaken formal training.  However, you may find it difficult to pass if you don’t.  The qualifying process is not easy, and the pass rates are not high.

 

The pass rates for each of the three parts of the examination in 2006/2007 were:

 

 

Theory test (part 1):                            49%

 

 

Test of driving ability (part 2):             45%

 

 

Test of instructional ability (part 3):     28%

BTEC Award in Driving Science


BTEC Award in Driving Science

 

 

Blue School of Motoring Ltd can provide the BTEC in Driving Science.  Do you know anyone that has been killed or badly hurt in a car crash? Most people between 15 and 25 know at least one person who has and that’s not surprising because1 in 5 new drivers will crash within a year of passing their test. The BTEC in Driving Science has been designed to make you a better driver from day one, so after passing your test you will be above the required standard and safer on the road.

 

Contact Blue

 

Driving statistics tell us that 17-24 year old drivers are seriously over represented in accidents that cause death and serious injury. The BTEC in Driving Science addresses the importance of integrating the right attitude with car control skills in a comprehensive novice driver programme.

 

Most young people will learn to drive, but not many will gain an academic qualification whilst doing it! The BTEC in Driving Science, accredited by Edexcel, is the world’s first academic qualification in novice driver training. It offers a chance for you to not only become a safer driver for life, but to add differentiation to your CV.

 

The BTEC in Driving Science is completed over a normal course of driving lessons. It will result in a more fully informed driver with a full appreciation of all the factors that influence safety. More than that, insurance companies think the BTEC is so good, they are willing to offer much reduced insurance once you enrol.

 

How does it work?

 

The BTEC in Driving Science is taught during normal driving lessons. It follows a structured driving curriculum, encompassing the European Goals of Driver Education.

You will be taught by a fully trained Blue driving instructor, who will follow the most comprehensive driver education programme in the UK. On completion of the BTEC, you will have gained a full UK driving licence and will have reached an advanced standard of driving, inclusive of motorway and night driving.

 

Can I do the BTEC if I am already learning to drive?

 

The BTEC can only be delivered by accredited driving instructors, so if you haven’t been learning with one, you will have to have an assessment drive with Blue, at which point any prior learning can be accredited with towards completion of the BTEC. You can commence the BTEC at any stage of your driving development.

 

How much will it cost?

 

It costs £175. The BTEC integrates into normal driving lessons, so you will still have to pay for them as usual. Remember though, post test elements like motorway and driving at night are included and that the great financial benefits that come with the qualification should more than cover the cost of the course itself.

 

Will it improve my driving?

 

Believe it or not, the front part of our brains doesn’t fully develop until we’re about 25 and when you consider this part of the brain controls things like impulse, emotion, risk-management and eye movement, it’s easy to see why so many young drivers are coming unstuck. Add to this the fact that 19 out of 20 crashes are down to attitude and behaviour rather than driving technique and its clearer still. The BTEC has been designed to stimulate development of your brain’s frontal lobe, it will accelerate your competence in driving and make you better able to spot and deal with hazards as they unfold.

 

Can it save me money?

 

Absolutely, in one word – insurance. The only reason insurance for young drivers is so expensive is because of all the insurance claims they make! A number of insurance companies recognise that by passing the BTEC you’ll be less likely to make a claim, so in turn they’ll cut the cost of your premium by as much as 50%. If you would like to find out how much you could save exactly, contact us and we will arrange for someone to give you a quote.

 

Are there any other benefits?

 

There are many benefits, both social and financial for doing the BTEC in Driving Science. On completion of the BTEC in Driving Science, you will be awarded a vocational qualification (GCSE equivalent), which in turn provides you with improved employability and differentiation. You’ll also get some night driving and motorway experience (because this is included in the post-test module); giving you added confidence for when you have to hit the M-roads alone, or perhaps worse still, with a car full of people. If this isn’t enough, BTEC graduates are automatically given membership to a new young driver motoring club (so new the name has yet to be decided!) with many motoring and lifestyle benefits and discounts.  Most importantly however, you will have the opportunity to become a safer and more responsible driver.

 

What is the e-learning suite all about?

 

The frontal lobe (the part of the brain that anticipates danger and assesses risk) is not developed until about 25 years of age.19 out of 20 road crashes are caused by attitude and behaviour (i.e. human factors such as distraction) rather than any lack of vehicle handling skills. The e-learning suite is split into two sections: highway and mind.

 

Highway develops knowledge and challenges attitudes in relation to driver behaviour.

 

Mind is designed to accelerate executive brain functions development, improve eye scanning, hazard awareness, risk management and to prioritise risk and thus improve decision making. It is proven to accelerate the maturation of the frontal lobe.

 

The e-learning suite is a beneficial educational tool and builds experience of the risks of driving from the comfort of the classroom or from home.

 

What is a BTEC?

 

A BTEC intermediate level is an academic qualification equivalent to a GCSE. It is accredited by Edexcel, the UK’s largest awarding body. Edexcel provide academic and vocational qualifications to more than 25,000 places of learning here, and in over 100 countries worldwide. In the UK, Edexcel offers qualifications and testing in more than 24,000 schools, 450 further education colleges, more than 80 higher education institutions, 600 public and private sector employers and, increasingly, e-learning providers. Edexcel will verify the quality of the course and its delivery.
