What to Expect in 1-Hour Driving Lessons in Adelaide
A 1-hour driving lesson in Adelaide typically includes a mix of practical driving skills and theory-based guidance to help learners develop confidence and competence behind the wheel. Here’s what is typically covered:
- Introduction and Briefing: The lesson often starts with a discussion about the student’s experience level, goals for the lesson, and a quick review of road rules and safety procedures. If it’s the first lesson, it might include an overview of the vehicle controls.
- Vehicle Control and Safety Checks: Learners may practice performing basic vehicle checks such as adjusting mirrors, understanding dashboard lights, and learning about safety checks like seatbelt use.
- Basic Driving Skills:
- Starting and Stopping: Learners practice smooth acceleration, braking, and stopping safely.
- Steering Techniques: Proper hand positions on the steering wheel, and practice turning using the push-pull method.
- Lane Keeping: Maintaining the correct lane position, especially on straight roads and curves.
- Intersection Navigation: Practicing giving way and safely negotiating intersections, including roundabouts.
- On-Road Driving Practice:
- Urban and Suburban Driving: Driving in different environments, such as quiet streets or busier suburban roads, to develop traffic awareness.
- Speed Control and Observation: Working on keeping within speed limits and being aware of other road users.
- Parking and Manoeuvres: Depending on skill level, learners may practice parking (parallel or angle parking), 3-point turns, or U-turns.
- Lane Changes and Merging: Practicing how to change lanes safely and merge into traffic, focusing on shoulder checks and indicator use.
- Assessment and Feedback: The lesson usually concludes with feedback on the learner’s progress, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. Specific recommendations are provided for future lessons, which could include more complex skills like highway driving or handling busy intersections.
Each lesson is customised to suit the learner’s experience level, ensuring a steady progression towards their driving goals.
Overall Lesson Plan
- For the first lesson we always discuss the clients goals and whether these goals are short term or long term. For example, the client may have just started driving and wants to learn proper car control, how to be safe in traffic and to learn to identify hazards so they can accumulate practice hours safely and drive correctly from the very beginning. Or maybe the clients wants to prepare for a VORT test, therefore our approach would be quite different.
- For the beginner driver the first thing we teach is called “Pull Push Steering”. This is the approved government method of car control and is by far the safest way to drive. It minimises the risk of injury should the air bag deploy.
- As a client’s car control improves we take them to roads with low level traffic to develop their abilities and gain confidence being around other drivers. Throughout this process we teach them how to forward plan to avoid potential hazards and the correct observations they should be making to keep themselves and other drivers safe.
- This is then followed by how to correctly engage with other drivers at roundabouts and traffic lights. Most car accidents happen in either of these potentially hazardous locations. Therefore we provide detailed explanations with the use of diagrams on the correct observations required when approaching and leaving a roundabout or intersection. This ensures should another driver breach a road rule they are far better placed to avoid a potential accident.
- There are five basic manoeuvres required to be performed correctly to past a VORT test. They are Angle Parking, Three Point Turn, Parallel or Reverse Parking, U-Turn and Hill Start. The procedures are quite specific and we teach each manoeuvre exactly as it would be assed in a VORT test.
- To keep the lessons engaging and interesting we always focus on a variety of tasks to bring all aspects of on-road driving and ability to perform the five basic manoeuvres up to the recognised government standard.
