The distance to look out for must be at least three times the speed you are travelling at.
Choke pull outwards
When using the brake pedal, your right heel should not touch the floor board

Notes
Parking (Slope facing downhill) turn the front wheels inward with the reverse gear engaged
Flood lower gear
3-lane, center lane is usually used for drivers
under inflated tyres shorter braking distance and harder steering.
Ober-inflated tyres Longer breaking distance and easier steeering
Gradual slope 2nd to 3rd gear
Moving off
- Release clutch too early engine will stop/vibrate violently and vehicle will jump or surge forward
To pass driving test max 18 points
Accelerator can rest your heel + use outer edge of right foot ball.
Brake cannot rest your heel
Clutch cannot rest your heel
Vehicle in motion engine stall insufficient force on the accelerator pedal
Pressing the accelerator steadily and progressively to achieve a gradual and smooth increase of speed
Free-wheeling is caused by depressing the clutch pedal too soon
Brake pedal all 4 wheels. Handbrake 2 rear wheels.
When engine reaches the biting point, you will see a slight decrease of engine revolutions from the tachometer
An advantage of intermittent braking is that the wheels will not be locked up
When applying an emergency brake on a wet road and your car slides forward, you should pump the brake to shorten
the braking distance and hold the steering wheel firmly to control the vehicle
Turn into narrow course too early rear wheel is obstructed. Turn into narrow course too late front wheel is
obstructed.
The lower the gear the more effective the engine brake.
When any of the wheels are loose steering wheel will become heavy to control as more effort is needed to prevent
the vehivle from wandering side to side
Highbeam distance 100m
No parking within 9 meters of a bus stop, 6 meters of a traffic junction and 3 meteres of a fire hydrant
Distance to keep from hazards
- Fixed obstacle 0.5 m
- Parked car 1 m
- Pedestrian facing traffic 1m
- Moving vehicle 1.5m
- Pedestrian back facing traffic 1.5m
