Do you know the 2 second rule?

Always leave enough room between you and the vehicle in front to allow you to stop safely. In dry conditions, you should make sure that you are at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front. In bad weather, make sure you are four seconds behind.

Tip to drive through standing water

If you have driven through deep water your brakes may be less effective. Test them at the first safe opportunity by gently pushing on the brake pedal to make sure that they work. If they are not fully effective, gently apply light pressure while driving slowly. This will help to dry them out.

What should you look for while overtaking a large vehicle?

Considering the vehicle in front is longer, it will take longer to overtake. This must be taken in to consideration to ensure adequate time is given before reaching oncoming traffic.

Please take extra care driving in wet weather.
Adapt your driving to the conditions.
Your tyres will have less grip on the road.
Keep well back from the vehicle in front - stopping distances will be at least double than dry roads.
Driving at a lower speed will give you more time to react to hazards that aren’t immediately visible through the rain.
Use dipped headlights so that other drivers can see you.

Stalling .... Don't worry we have all done it .... Don't panic.....

Stalling a manual vehicle is where the engine cuts out as you lift the clutch to engage it. It is normal for learners to experience some stalling in their early practice.

Common causes are:

Clutch up through biting point too quickly

Clutch up slowly through biting point but released too early.

Clutch up through biting point before brake is released

Clutch up without setting enough gas

Not in first gear

It is not possible to stall an automatic vehicle.
