Parking, unfamiliar roads, night journeys, fuel, weather and situations that do not get much attention in lessons.
What Should You Do If You Get into the Wrong Lane?Stay in the lane and follow it safely. Missing a turn is far better than making a sudden lane change because the sat nav or road sign says you should be somewhere else.Can a New Driver Use a Phone in a Dashboard Mount?A properly mounted phone can be used hands-free, but you must not hold and use it while driving, and it must not block your view.How Far Should a New Driver Go After the Fuel Light Comes On?Do not treat the remaining range as a challenge. Use the warning as a prompt to refuel at the next sensible opportunity.Why Does Night Driving Feel Much Harder with Passengers?Because darkness already reduces the visual information available to you, while passengers compete for the attention you need to read the road.Is It Sometimes Better for a New Driver to Take a Longer Route?Yes. A slightly longer route can be the better choice if it avoids a difficult junction, stressful city centre or road you are not ready to tackle alone.What Should a New Driver Remember When Parking on a Hill?Secure the car properly before you get out. Use the parking brake firmly and leave the transmission in an appropriate gear or park position.What Should You Do If Sat Nav Sends You Down a Road You Do Not Like?Do not continue just because the sat nav says so. If the road looks unsuitable, stay legal, find a safe place to turn or continue to a better route.Where Is It Safe to Stop If Something Feels Wrong with the Car?Choose the safest available place away from moving traffic. A mechanical problem is important, but stopping in a dangerous position can create a much bigger risk.
