As a new driver, I need to be careful not to let bad habits creep in and to avoid distractions like having too many friends in the car or using my phone. I should keep my driving position and seatbelt on, and focus on antici...

What should I do if I'm at a red light and an emergency vehicle needs to get through?

We get asked this quite a lot so hopefully this explains.

Emergency 'blue light' vehicles have three exemptions in law. Speed limits, red lights and keep left signs.

If we are looking to make progress with blue lights and siren, we are asking you to let us through.

If possible, move over to somewhere safe and allow us past. There's no need to mount kerbs or verges or make sudden moves. We won't come past until we know you have seen us.

If you are at a red light and you can let us through, please do so but we don't want you to go through the red light, moving aside is fine but going through the light isn't. Doing so is an offence and you can be fined or receive points for doing it. Similarly, going through a red light and ending up in a collision could place liability on you.

If we can't make progress we do something called effective non-use. The lights stay on, the siren goes off. This is saying 'I'd like to come through when I can'.

Other helpful things to consider would be not stopping dead in your tracks. Often it's safer to keep going and let us pass in a safe place.

Stopping on a bend, the brow of a hill or directly opposite another vehicle makes it harder to get past too. In these situations it's better that you keep going until the road opens up and we can pass safely when we have a view.

The bottom line is, we don't want you to commit offences to let us through, just make it easier for us to get past if you can.

Copied from a fellow instructor -

Please take the time to read through this if you are considering booking a test or have one coming up.

As driving instructors, we can only advise people about their readiness to take a test!

You may think you are driving well when the instructor is:
😱Telling you when to change gear!
😱Asking you what the speed limit is!
😱Telling you to put the clutch down so you don't stall when you stop!
😱Stopping you from running a red light!
😱Talking you through every manoeuvre!
😱Telling you which lane to be in!
😱Reminding you which exit to come off of on a roundabout because you forgot!
😱Helping you when you can’t work out if there is enough space for you to get your car through!
🤐 Telling to check mirrors !!!

If all or any of the above apply to you, then you are not test ready!

⛔️If you cannot drive without ANY assistance, then you are NOT READY FOR YOUR TEST!

When the door shuts and it’s just you and the examiner, the car is the loneliest place to be, when you make a mistake and your brain goes to mush it’s the worst feeling ever!

Remember those family and friends who urge you to just have a go for the experience, aren’t the ones having to go through it, people have very selective memory’s when it comes to driving and tests! Also do you want your kids safe on the road or not .

Ask anyone who has failed a test if it was a nice experience!
Remember it’s YOU doing the test, no one else, no phone to google answers, no help from anyone else, just YOU!

If you are up to standard, you will still be nervous, but you won’t be doubtful of your ability!
🤔Go look in the mirror and have a straight talk with yourself!

This is a skill for life.

It saves YOUR life, plus your passengers and other road users lives too!
The big question is.......
Would you take an A level if you hadn’t studied enough and then expect to pass it?
Thanks for reading. Have a serious think .....
