Planning your journeys

  WELCOME BEST DRIVING SKILLS 

Planning your journeys

During your final preparation for your practical driving test you should learn 

how to navigate without prompts from your supervisor or instructor. This 

should help prepare you for some driving alone after you have passed. Here are some tips for preparing for a journey:

● Allow yourself plenty of time. In today’s congested traffic you cannot depend on getting to your destination in the shortest possible time. The later you are, 

the more frustrated you will become, to the point where you may even be tempted to take risks.

● Plan your journey. Organize yourself with a route plan, noting down all the road numbers and names of towns. Start out early, making sure you allow time 

for road works and other problems. A route card only takes a few minutes to prepare, and if you have internet access it is easy to download route plans and information. It is worth doing this even if you have sat nav technology in your vehicle.

● Learn how to read and follow road signs. Keep up to date with traffic news by tuning your car radio to local stations or having the traffic announcement (TA) system switched on.

● Keep your concentration to a maximum. If you are going a long distance, take plenty of breaks. 

Keep the temperature comfortable and not too stuffy. Listen only to light programmes on the Radio or music centre. Remember, fiddling about 

with discs and tapes can be a distraction while you are driving.

● Mobile phones. In emergencies, mobile phones can be extremely useful 

(particularly if you are a lone female driver). Remember, however, that 

they should only be used when you are stationary. READ MORE
