Discussion [p.7]

4. The practice should suit the driving situation & context.

Discussion [p.8]
Fixing a special problem
• What problem do you want to fix?
• Practice fixing problems on your own (self-management skills)
• Is it one part of a bigger problem?
• Is the problem hard to fix?
… know the correct method (self-assessor).
… work out a tactic to get it right (self-instructor).
… manage your thoughts and feelings (self-supervisor).
Test ready doesn’t always mean P-Plate ready !
1. Choose a typical P-Plate driving journey
2. Judge how you will go
3. You’ll have to find your own way
4. Review how you went

The instructor will give a “commentary” on ...
• Self-managing his driving behaviour
• Continuously self-assessing his driving
• Working out the cause of any mistake he makes and fixing it
• Giving examples of how unhelpful feelings can get in the way
of safe driving
Supervisor driving [p.10]

normal driving situation e.g. radio on, conversation with
passengers.
3. After the drive, review your performance using the
checklist.
