Typically, how does ageing affect people's driving ability?

Older people overestimate their ability

A

B

Older people take more risks

C

D

Older people have slower reactions

Older people drive faster

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

Older people have slower reactions

As people age, their reactions tend to slow and they can take longer to assess hazards. Don't try to rush them, but be tolerant and patient.

Why do motorcyclists often wear bright clothing?

A

B

It keeps them cool in summer

They must do so by law

To make it easier for other road users to see them

C

D

Bright colours are very popular

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

To make it easier for other road users to see them

Motorcycles are small vehicles and can be difficult to see. If the rider wears bright clothing, it can make it easier for other road users to see them approaching, especially at junctions.

How much verbal instruction is needed to help a pupil attain a good standard of driving?

A

B

A constant amount throughout, regardless of competence

More as the test date approaches

Just enough to ensure they understand what's required

C

D

None once they reach test standard

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

Just enough to ensure they understand what's required

It's important to reduce direct instruction and transfer the responsibility for learning to the pupil as quickly as possible. You must ensure that the pupil understands what they need to do and how they need to do it. Once they have this knowledge, they should be allowed to practise and develop their competence without constant instruction.

When should you assess a learner driver's progress?

A

B

At the end of the course of lessons

When an improvement has been made

Continuously, using dialogue and feedback

When the pupil has learnt as much as they can at that time

C

D

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

Continuously, using dialogue and feedback

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.

What should you do if you have to use the dual controls?

Ask the pupil if they understand why it was necessary to use them

A

B

Say nothing to preserve the pupil's confidence

Explain that it will be covered at the end of the lesson

Say nothing and expect the pupil to understand why

C

D

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation Ask the pupil if they understand why it was necessary to use them

If a serious incident occurs that requires you to use the dual controls, it's vital that the pupil fully understands what happened and how they could have avoided the situation or dealt with it better.

Why do you need to take time to identify your pupil's learning goals?

To determine how much instruction will be required to complete the course

A

B

To determine their range of general intelligence

To help you and your pupil to agree the most effective learning plan

To confirm the final cost of their driver training

C

D

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

To help you and your pupil to agree the most effective learning plan

Taking time to establish a pupil's learning goals and needs provides you with the information you need to make an effective learning plan. It involves the pupil in the planning process, so the final product is something they have agreed to and engaged with.

What should you teach your pupils to do when they're learning to turn their vehicle around in the road?

Concentrate on looking over their right shoulder

A

B

Concentrate on looking over their left shoulder

Carry out effective all-round observation

C

D

Check their mirrors continuously

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

Carry out effective all-round observation

All-round observation is essential throughout any manoeuvre. Drivers should use their mirrors and pay particular attention to the direction in which they're moving, to vulnerable road users, and to what might be happening in any blind spots.

What should you do if a pupil drives the rear wheels over the kerb when they turn left?

Ask them to explain why they think this happened

A

B

Tell them that this fault can be avoided by first swinging out to the right

Explain that the rear wheels cut in when turning left

Demonstrate how this was caused by turning the steering wheel too late

C

D

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

Ask them to explain why they think this happened

Learning is far more effective when a pupil can identify for themselves the reason why something has gone wrong. If they can't work it out, you can help them to understand with an explanation or a diagram. When they understand the problem, the pupil should then practise this manoeuvre.

If you provide a demonstration of a skill in a lesson, how should you follow it up?

With an opportunity for the pupil to check understanding and consolidate by practising

With a detailed analysis of the manoeuvre carried out

A

B

With a discussion of possible faults that may occur

C

D

With the introduction of a new subject

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation With an opportunity for the pupil to check understanding and consolidate by practising

Demonstration, where appropriate, is a valuable tool in the learning process. However, for it to be effective, a pupil must have an opportunity to raise any questions and check their understanding. They then need to practise this new skill.

What should you do if a pupil stops making progress in their learning?

Discuss blocks to progress and develop strategies to overcome the blocks

A

B

Slow down the pace of instruction

Make the pupil have extra lessons to help overcome the difficulty

Conclude they have learning difficulties and refer them to a specialist ADI

C

D

www.drivertrainingtheory.co.uk

Youtube@adipart1

Explanation

Discuss blocks to progress and develop strategies to overcome the blocks

Learning isn't always a continuous process. Sometimes pupils simply need time to consolidate learning before moving on. On other occasions there may be something blocking progress. You should work with the learner to understand what's happening and agree how to move on.
