Impact Drill Driver
First Steps for the Irish Learner Driver
The main priority for today's Learner Driver should not be
passing the Driving Test but embracing the philosophy of skills
for life initially. Surely passing the Driving Test is the main
objective? Not So!
Your main objective should be to acquire the necessary skills
that will keep you, your passengers and all other road users
safe. This makes sense, but is not taken on board by a very
large proportion of Irish learner Drivers, with the result that
we have an appalling accident record here which impacts on the
whole community.
The first and arguably most important step for the new driver is
to enrol with a Professional Driving School who will set
the foundation for both basic and advanced skills and ensure
that safety is a priority. The lack of basic skills throughout
the motoring population is very widespread and stems from
several inherent flaws which are only now beginning to be
addressed by the Government.
Thankfully our membership of the European Club is forcing the
various agencies that are involved in the whole motoring scene
to take action and implement the various Directives on a
structured time scale.
The Irish Driving Test only began in 1966 more than
thirty years after the UK introduced that most feared of life
events! Most of the recent EU changes have usually taken effect
here three or four years after the UK. These would comprise the
Driver Theory Test, revised Test Marking Sheet, Provisional
License revisions, and Mechanical Checks on the Practical
Driving Test.
Aspects still to be rolled out will be Mandatory Tuition for
Motorcycles and Cars and the long awaited Examination and
Registration of Driving Instructors. One of the reasons for our
poor standards on the roads, particularly within the young
driver community is that Driving Instructor standards are not
subject to scrutiny. It is quite commonplace to see Instructors
giving tuition in a pupils car with no L plates displayed. This
shows a complete disregard for the basic rule of Law and by
extension the calibre of instruction has to be mediocre at best.
What can you expect on your first lesson with a Professional
Instructor? Will you be taken into a city centre? Will you
be taken on a high speed carriageway? Will you be driving off
down the road in just five minutes? Absolutely not! What will
happen is a concentrated session covering many diverse subjects
relating to both the workings of the car and all its equipment
and a look at the current Driving Scene into which the new
Driver is entering for the first time. An investigation of all
the basic mechanics that are the responsibility of the Driver,
and which now form part of the Driving Test, will take place,
and a brief discussion on the current requirements of the
Driving Test. Once this is accomplished, the basic Cockpit
Drill will be looked at along with all instrumentation and
secondary controls. Following on from this section, a brief
discussion on the use of the Gearbox will take place and then on
to the most mystical of Car equipment ...the Clutch. (That
is of course assuming that we are driving a car with a manual
Gearbox, with its accompanying Stick Shift.) It surprises most
beginners that it is the Clutch that moves the car and not the
Gas pedal. In fact, since you are going to be on a level stretch
of road for the first tentative steps, it is interesting to
demonstrate that the Car does indeed move with the foot no where
near the Gas Pedal. This is the point at which we are learning
the first real Driving Skill; that of understanding the Term
"Biting Point" and how to recognise it. In the very early
stages, a complete mastery of being able to bring the Clutch to"
Biting Point" and hold it steady is the key to Driving away
smoothly in every different situation. No amount of gas pedal
usage will move the car unless the clutch is at Biting Point
first. Once the car begins to move, and is building up a little
momentum, then the clutch can be fully released gently and the
Gas pedal then comes into play. Next follows a brief
demonstration of the clutch control technique by the Instructor
followed by the Pupil. The sequence of moving off safely comes
next, followed by the Real Thing, but of course it's no use
getting going if you then don't know how to stop safely which
will also be demonstrated. You are now on the move practising
starting and stopping and the adrenalin is finally pumping after
all the Theory! Guess What? You will be doing the whole
procedure in Reverse within a few minutes. Yes that's
right...Reversing! Reversing is such an integral part of every day
driving that it's something that can't be left till later. If it
is put off, then chances are that fear of failure will begin to
creep in and that is not the object of Driving Lessons. So there
you have, in graphic (almost) detail, the first steps on your
Driving Career. If you are going to progress steadily then you
should be prepared to do plenty of homework in between your
Lessons, with a pad and pen as well as reading the Notes which
your Instructor will have given you! There is plenty more where
this came from, so take time to look at all the resources
available and you should be well on the way to the basic
apprentice stage after three or four weeks. The Driving Test is
not a consideration at this stage and will only be addressed
when you have a suitable level of skill built up over several
months.
