Parents, supervising a learner driver is a difficult sometimes daunting task.  But you can avoid stress by knowing how to get them ready.   Mirror work (poor observations, failing to check mirrors)  are among the top 5 reasons for failing a driving test.  So we have prepared a short aid for remembering which mirrors you check 

We cover in the podcast advice on use of the car Mirrors for:

  1. Change of speed - rear view 
  2. Change of direction - relevant door mirror (left for left move, right for right move)
  3. Turning left / right - rear view, left mirror (for turning Left) with final check as you turn in left mirror (for cyclists etc) 
  4. New road - rear mirror and right   
  5. Stopping - on left - rear view (change of speed) and left mirror before you steer left .  stopping on right - rear view and right mirror
  6. Moving Off - at Traffic lights for example - (the rainbow check)  left mirror, rear view mirror , right mirror.  


Embed this in your driving, and teaching your learner the principles becomes so easy!  and they are kept safer, for their life on the road.
