Explanation

In client-centred learning, there should be lots of opportunities for you to observe how your pupil's learning is going. You should provide frequent feedback on their progress, based on these observations, and talk to your pupil about how they view their progress. Then you can adjust the lesson content to meet your pupil's learning needs.

When should you assess a learner driver’s progress?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

A transfer of knowledge is when links are made between previous experience and the new skills to be learned. For example, a pedestrian who can judge appropriate gaps in the traffic to cross the road can link this skill to turning right into side roads when they learn to drive. A good instructor will identify these links.

Explanation

Any medical condition that would affect your driving must be reported to the DVLA Drivers Medical Group or, in Northern Ireland, the DVA Drivers Medical Section. If you have any condition or you have to take any medication that you think might affect your driving, it's worth checking the information available on www.gov.uk

3 / 15

Which organisation publishes guidance about medical conditions that might prevent someone from driving?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Once identified, driving faults should be addressed at the earliest opportunity. A fault should be looked upon as a chance to teach the point and to encourage a change for the better in the pupil's driving.

4 / 15

What should an instructor do when they see their pupil commit a driving fault?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Agreeing learning should be a two-way process. You can contribute your understanding of what has to be achieved and the learner can contribute their objectives and understanding. At the end of a lesson, both you and the pupil will be better placed to evaluate progress.

5 / 15

What major advantage does a pupil gain from agreeing learning objectives?

Explanation

If you're involved in a collision, a correctly adjusted head restraint will reduce the risk of neck and back injury. It may not be effective if it's not properly adjusted.

What will reduce the risk of whiplash injury?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Always check the label on any medication you take, as some medicine can make you feel drowsy and slow your reactions. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to give you advice about possible side-effects of both prescribed and over-the-counter medicines.

7 / 15

Your doctor has given you a course of medicine. Why should you ask how it will affect you?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

If you need to use the dual controls, you must make sure the pupil understands why you've done so. If you need to use the dual controls often, it suggests that you've overestimated your pupil's ability and are asking too much of them. If you don't recognise this, your pupil may lose confidence and the trust between you may begin to break down.

8 / 15

What’s likely to happen if you continually use the steering or the dual controls while you’re instructing?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

You may need to check your pupil's understanding by asking questions. If they offer a partially correct answer, you should confirm the correct parts and, to complete their understanding, give them feedback on where they went wrong.

9 / 15

What should you do when a pupil gives a partially correct answer to a question?

Explanation

At junctions where the view is restricted, you need to make sure your pupil has time to assess the situation. Teach them to approach slowly and get a good look at the traffic situation before making a decision.

10 / 15

Your pupil is approaching a junction where the view is restricted. What should you tell them to do?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

When booking a driving-test appointment, it's important to declare if the candidate is deaf. This will ensure that appropriate arrangements are made for the test.

11 / 15

What should a deaf pupil be advised to do when they’re ready to apply for their driving test?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

All-round observation is essential throughout any manoeuvre in the road. A pupil should be trained to look particularly in the direction in which they're moving, to look out for vulnerable road users and to check their blind spots.

12 / 15

You’re teaching a manoeuvre that involves reversing in the road. What should you teach your pupil to do?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Officially, the flashing of headlights has the same meaning as sounding the horn - a warning of the presence of a vehicle. However, drivers sometimes flash their headlights for other reasons. Make sure you know what's meant by the signal before acting on it.

13 / 15

What does it mean when another driver flashes their headlights?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

Drivers and riders should proceed with caution at a junction where the traffic lights have failed. They should treat the situation as if it were an unmarked junction. As no-one has priority, everyone should be prepared to stop.

14 / 15

Your pupil is approaching a crossroads. What advice should you give them if the traffic lights have failed?

(mark one answer)

Explanation

The closer a driver gets to the vehicle in front, the less they can see of the road ahead. The safety aspects of keeping well back to gain a better view need to be emphasised and practised. It takes a long time to overtake a long vehicle and a good view of the road ahead is necessary to see that there's enough room to overtake safely.

What advice should you give to a pupil who wishes to overtake a long, slow-moving vehicle on a busy road?
