Pre-Assessment Briefing Driving Standard: To pass this assessment you have to show me that you are competent in driving to the Driver Competency Standards set by the Department of Transport. Driving Assessment: Your assessment will take a minimum of ½ hour to 2 hours, driving in a range of traffic situations. During the assessment I will advise you to turn left or right with ample time to execute the manoeuvre. Once the manoeuvre is completed, continue on that stretch of road until I ask you to make another turn or to stop. These are the only directions I can give to you, as you must drive the vehicle as though you are on your own. If Unsure: If at any point during the assessment, you are unsure as to the directions I have issued, please let me know immediately and I will repeat any instructions to you, but I will not be telling you how to drive; you must show me that you can drive. Recording Data: During the course of your assessment it is very important that you know I will be taking down notes, data and important information. Please do not assume that you have done anything wrong as I will also be recording all your good points as well.

Avoids Imminent Crash Crashes are rare events. Even defensive drivers, will be surprised by road users, actually violating orderly behaviour. Defensive drivers, keep enough space in reserve to avoid a crash, should their own or another driver s, judgement fail. Other road users are alerted to imminent danger. T Brake failure Tyre failure Fire Traffic emergency [eg: on-coming vehicle on incorrect side of road]; or Skids. his may involve sounding the horn or flashing the headlights. Imminent danger means: When other road users start to violate orderly behaviour, sufficient stopping space is maintained to avoid crashing. Stopping is considered safer than swerving to avoid a crash, provided sufficient space is available. The following table lists braking distances (at 60% efficiency) at various speeds. To help with judging these distances while driving, the equivalent travel times are listed. Just as two seconds can be used to judge following distance, these times can be used to judge braking distances. BRAKE DISTANCE CHART VEHICLE TYPE SPEED 100 km/hr SPEED 80 km/hr SPEED 60 km/hr SPEED 20 km/hr REACTION TIME.75 of a second (average) 20m 16m 12m 4m B-DOUBLE 192.4m 112.1m 18.1m 10.3m RIGID TRUCK 105.0m 56.7m 24.6m 3.2m ARTICULATED TRUCK 86.4m 49.0m 25.0m 2.0m COACH 73.8m 45.1m 22.3m 1.4m 4 WHEEL DRIVE 56.5m 37.6m 23.8m 2.7m MOTOR CYCLE 40.2m 24.4m 13.7m 3.6m CAR 37.2m 27.2m 17.2m 3.3m To obtain overall stopping distance, add reaction time to brake distance. Vehicle to weight legally fully laden. Vehicles brakes working and in good condition. Good bitumen surface. Completed without brake lock-up. Reaction time of.75 of a second. NOTE :.75 of a second was achieved as a result of the test driver knowing he would be told to stop. In reality, the reaction time would be 1 2 seconds, or none at all.
