Moving Off, Gears & Steering

Study pre-drive checks, moving off, stopping, gear changes, bends, mirrors, blind spots, and lane changes.

Core Ideas

Smooth vehicle control depends on preparation, observation, and early signals.

Before driving, moving off, and stopping

Changing gears and negotiating bends

Changing lanes safely

Before changing course, confirm what is behind, beside, and ahead.

Read the traffic gap early, signal, check, and move only when it is safe.

Mirror, signal, blind spot, manoeuvre.

Look far ahead through bends.

Brake and gear down before the hazard, not inside it.
