Driving Instructor Training Material DRIVING INSTRUCTOR TRAINING MATERIAL With Dyslexia friendly fonts & backgrounds. Created by; Garry Alan Cope 2020 2nd Edition. Copyright © 2020 Garry Alan Cope all rights reserved Introduction. This edition of Driving Instructor training material is a concise but informative training book, and has been compiled by me Garry Alan Cope a Driving Instructor, and is mainly designed for Driving Instructors and Instructor trainers, but is also for Learner drivers and full licence holders to improve their knowledge and driving skills. The information provided in this book has been taken from THE OFFICIAL HIGHWAY CODE, KNOW YOUR TRAFFIC SIGNS, THE OFFICIAL DVSA GUIDE TO DRIVING THE ESSENTIAL SKILLS, ROADCRAFT THE POLICE DRIVER’S HANDBOOK, and also from fellow Driving Instructors, Because the information used is from official publications you can rely on this publication for accuracy. The sole reason for me producing this book is because I couldn’t find any training material that stuck to the official publications so I decided to compile my own. This book takes you through the learning to drive process used by the vast majority of Driving Instructors in the UK. You may notice that all the manoeuvres are near to the end of the book. This is purely to keep them together and separate from the other training material as Driving Instructors choose to cover manoeuvres at varying stages of the learning process. I personally aim to begin covering the manoeuvres very early on, as i find it helps to understand clutch control and boosts confidence in learners making the learning process much easier. But it really is up to each Instructor or Trainer as to when they prefer to cover the manoeuvres. 2nd edition revised March 19th 2020. “Remember the road is a story, we just learn to read it”...

BEFORE OPENING Use the Dutch reach method, Check over shoulder (pedestrians, cyclists), HOLD Use both hands (In windy conditions). SEAT BASE - height and position, Depress the clutch to check leg room, You should have a slight bend in your knee, Make sure it is locked into position. RAKE - Slight bend in elbows when holding the steering wheel. HEAD RESTRAINT –Rigid part at eyes/ears level. STEERING WHEEL –Height/position adjustment. Airbag warning sign SEAT BELTS Lap belt low over hips, Shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, No twists or turns, Height adjuster shouldn’t cut into neck area, Pull to test it’s working, Driver is responsible for under 14s. Seat belt Warning sign MIRRORS Gives view of traffic behind and to the sides of the vehicle, Three mirrors 1 interior, 2 exterior, (additional blind-spot mirrors may be of use) Interior; flat glass, true view, so most important mirror, Anti-dazzle setting, Exterior; convex glass, things appear to be smaller and further away, Adjust your mirrors so it is easy to see without straining your head, Use your mirrors when using the M.S.M routine. BLIND SPOTS / AREAS Areas not covered by your mirrors, Over your left shoulder, Over your right shoulder, Parts of the car bodywork. FUEL Turn ignition on (if necessary). Do you have enough fuel for your journey. Copyright © 2020 Garry Alan Cope all rights reserved Foot controls. 3 ACCELERATOR A Gas pedal, right foot only, Keeping your heel on floor helps to know which pedal you are over, Apply gentle pressure, (sensitive), Controls fuel to engine, B Common phrases, “Set gas”, “off gas”, “more gas”, C Check mirrors before increasing speed, The amount of gas required is between 1000 & 2000 rps, Practice listening to the sound of the engine at around 1500 rps, RIGHTONLY FOOT Then practice listening without looking at the rev’ counter, This helps to understand the amount of gas required to set off LEFT FOOT ONLY FOOTBRAKE Powerful control, right foot only, Try to keep heel on floor, Operates on all four wheels, Brake progressively, (light, firm, light), Brake lights, warning signal to others, Anti-lock braking system (ABS) ? Duel circuit braking system - extra safe, Check mirrors before braking, Practice pivoting right foot. Anti-lock braking system Brake light warning light warning light CLUTCH Provides drive from engine to wheels via gears, Used by left foot only, with heel slightly off the floor, Try locking your foot in place and use your knee joint to raise the pedal, Then try locking your knee in place and ease your foot up, Either way work well, but find a way that works best for you, Make sure your foot doesn’t get stuck between the pedal and floor, About half way up you will feel the biting point (at this point keep foot still), The clutch plates meet at this point, Engine noise drops and deepens, You must keep the clutch at or near the biting point, This would be the point when you would look all around before releasing the handbrake, or parking brake, or hold facility to move off, The car creeps forward slowly, Then you should bring your foot off very slowly counting to five, As if stacking pound coins one at a time, pausing after each coin stacked! You should at this point be using the gas pedal, Listening to the engine helps to understand the control needed, Any sudden movement will stall or jerk the car, Practice clutch control with and without gas. Also practice setting off in second gear.

Safety code for new drivers 119 1 Introduction This Highway Code applies to Gibraltar. However it also focuses on Traffic Signs and Road Situations outside Gibraltar, that as a driver you will come across most often. The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of The Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders. Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/ MUST NOT’.

  • Formalisation and Implementation of Road Junction Rules on an Autonomous Vehicle Modelled As an Agent
    Formalisation and Implementation of Road Junction Rules on an Autonomous Vehicle Modelled as an Agent Gleifer Vaz Alves1[0000−0002−5937−8193], Louise Dennis2[0000−0003−1426−1896], and Michael Fisher2[0000−0002−0875−3862] 1 UTFPR - Universidade Tecnol´ogicaFederal do Paran´a- Brazil [email protected] 2 Department of Computer Science, Univ. Liverpool, UK fL.A.Dennis, [email protected] Abstract. The design of autonomous vehicles includes obstacle detec- tion and avoidance, route planning, speed control, etc. However, there is a lack of an explicitely representation of the rules of the road on an autonomous vehicle. Additionally, it is necessary to understand the be- haviour of an autonomous vehicle in order to check whether or not it works according to the rules of the road. Here, we propose an agent- based architecture to embed the rules of the road into an agent repre- senting the behaviour of an autonomous vehicle. We use temporal logic to formally represent the rules of the road in a way it should be possible to capture when and how a given rule of the road can be applied. Our contributions include: i. suggestion of changes in the rules of the road; ii. representation of rules in a suitable way for an autonomous vehicle agent; iii. dealing with indeterminate terms in the Highway Code. Keywords: Agent · Autonomous Vehicles · Temporal Logic · Rules of the Road. 1 Introduction Usually, the design of current control software in autonomous vehicle does not explicitely implement the rules of the road. Here, we propose an architecture, where an agent represents the behaviour of an autonomous vehicle and temporal logic is used to formally specify a subset from the rules of the road.
