Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping

It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Erridge Road.

Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions

WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Erridge Road turns left on to Dorset Road, turns left on to Melrose Road, left on to Poplar Road and right at the crossroads on to Erridge Road. Then if we take the next left on to Keswick Avenue and emerge left on to Kenley Road, emerging left on to Circle Gardens and taking the first left on to Poplar and turning right at the crossroads back on to Erridge Road. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.

Crossroads

The crossroads of Erridge Road and Poplar Road can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. The intersection of  Grand Drive and Bushey Road can be used to provide instruction on the methods of turning right-to-right at a crossroads.

Roundabouts 

The Beverley roundabout can be used to illustrate priorities, methods of positioning and the appropriate signals for a given exit..

Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals

Driving down Kingston Road there are plenty of crossings which can be used to demonstrate the various different types of crossings and the rules applying to road markings. Planning issues can also be addressed on this route.

Areas to do manoeuvres
