This video will give you an overview of the skills you'll need
to implement when learning to drive in a real busy traffic environment. You've
now mastered the basic operations of a vehicle
and you're now ready to expand upon those skills
when pulling out into traffic
it's important to be aware of all your surroundings, ensure you've looked
in your rear and side view mirrors and completed any appropriate
blind spot checks and then wait for an appropiate gap in the traffic before
moving
out into the road. Once you are in the traffic practice making gear changes
as smoothly as possible. The release pressure
of the clutch should evenly match the accelerator pedal pressure
as you change the gears up maintain the appropriate to speed for the traffic
environment you're driving in
and always be aware of the speed limit in the area
you're travelling through. If the speed limit's above 60 kilometers per hour
ensure you always aware of any unforeseen hazards
and changes to the road that can cause traffic speed to be lower
concentrate in pre-empt changes to the road ahead
and have a clear view of everything surrounding you
just as equally important when driving in high-speed environments
like the motorway or highway, you must match the speed of the traffic
to avoid causing a hazard. It's important to maintain
an appropriate road position whenever and whereever you're driving
ensure you always keep left to safely allow traffic to pass or overtake you
on the right but be aware have any pedestrians
and cyclists at the side of the road and maintain position
that won't block or endanger them. So stay safe
and happy driving.
