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

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

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.

Taxi Trainers

Taxi Trainers.co.uk is a web site designed for any body looking for information or training on how to become a taxi driver.

The taxi assessment test is reflective of modern driving practices, the standard is set at a level suitable for the full driving licence holder, which is therefore higher than the learner driver test. It is important that you do not adjust your driving to what you may feel the examiner would expect to see, do not drive in an unnatural manner.

It is important that you read the Highway Code and be familiar with your vehicle, it is also strongly advisable to consider taking professional instruction prior to taking the test.

To pass you are permitted to accumulate up to nine driving faults, if you accumulate 10 or more driving faults you will fail. Any serious or dangerous faults will be immediately recorded as a failure; the test will still continue finally returning to the driving test centre.

The practical test

The practical test will last for about 35 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic. During the test you should drive in a natural way, and should not adjust your driving to what you may feel the examiner would expect to see. The examiner will give you clear instructions which you should follow throughout the test.

During the practical test, you will be examined on the following:

·                         awareness and anticipation

·                         effective planning of prevailing road and traffic conditions

·                         correct use of speed

·                         emergency stop (one in three tests)

·                         a manoeuvre involving reversing

·                         Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Car related exercise

·                         passenger safety and comfort

·                         wheelchair element (for Black Cab style only)

Part 1 Theory Test

What is the ADI theory test like?

The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. The multiple choice part is delivered using a touch screen computer and mouse and the hazard perception part records your responses through the use of a computer mouse button. You need to pass both parts to pass the theory test. If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again

For the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.

Multiple choice

Before the test starts you will be given instructions on how the test works.

You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.

A question and four answer options will appear onscreen and you have to select the correct answer to the question by touching the screen or using the mouse. Some questions may require more than one answer. You can navigate between questions and ‘flag’ questions that you want to come back to later in the test. You will have 90 minutes to answer 100 questions that will be split into four bands which will be:

1.      ·    road procedure

2.      ·    traffic signs and signals, car control, pedestrians, mechanical knowledge

3.      ·      driving test, disabilities, law

4.      ·       publications, instructional techniques

The purpose of the banding is to ensure candidates have a comprehensive knowledge across the whole syllabus.

The pass mark for the multiple choice part of the theory test is 85% -that is 85 questions answered correctly. However, you must reach a minimum 80% (20 out of 25) in each of the four bands. It is therefore possible for you to get an overall mark of 85% or above but still fail the examination because you have not gained the minimum of 80% in one of the bands.

After the multiple choice part you can choose to have a break of up to three minutes before the hazard perception part starts.

Hazard perception

After the break you will then be shown a short tutorial video clip about how the hazard perception part works.

The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. You will be presented with a series of 14 video clips which feature every day road scenes, in each clip there will be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards. To achieve a high score you will need to respond to the developing hazard during the early part of its development. The maximum you can score on each hazard is five. You will not be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you will only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard.

The pass mark for the hazard perception part of the theory test is 57 out of 75.

At the end of the test

At the end of the hazard perception part of the theory test you will be invited to answer a number of customer survey questions. You do not have to answer the questions if you do not want to, and any information given is anonymous and confidential. The survey questions do not affect the result of the test.

Special needs

There are facilities available for those candidates who have special needs. These facilities need to be requested at the time of booking.

If you have dyslexia or any other reading difficulties you can ask for a voiceover. You can also request to have up to double time for the multiple choice part of the theory test. If you require more than the standard time for the multiple choice part you will need to send in evidence of your reading difficulty to the theory test booking customer services.

If you have a special need that is not met by the facilities above you can contact the  DSA theory test customer services section who can discuss your requirements and the facilities available.

Blue Instructor Training will provide the most appropriate and up to date study material to help you prepare the Part 1 examination.
