Why not introduce a short commentary component into the driving test to assess hazard perception in a real situation when the candidate has to concentrate on vehicle control too? ?

I'm pleased to note ... By: MrGazza1964. on 15 May 12, 13:59:39 I'm pleased to note that the DSA accept these clips need more work, to look less clean and less like a game. Here's a solution...drive round for a while on real roads with a car mounted camera! Seampulls? ;-)
No it won't ... By: MrGazza1964. on 15 May 12, 13:56:18 No it won't distract the candidate! Yet again "cost" is the real reason! How much is someone's life worth according to the DSA? The DSA are creating about 14 minutes? of video. Google are trying to capture the planet's entire road system!!! As a result of Google's experience the necessary software is available, probably wouldn't be prohibitively expensive for the tiny amount of DSA video and it wouldn't take long for DSA staff to double check everything was blanked out.
I think "cheaper" ... By: MrGazza1964. on 15 May 12, 13:49:16 I think "cheaper" says everything about this change. These clips are totally unrealistic and aren't fit for purpose. With current digital imaging and little investment the DSA could've used actual footage from real roads. I recently used a very impressive and portable cgi hpt system (although the graphics weren't to PS3 standards). The problem is each unit costs £10,000 and, whilst I understand that this is just too much to meet demand, we have to accept? that the DSA won't invest in road safety.

Check oil when ... By: MrGazza1964. on 01 Aug 11, 21:13:44 Check oil when engine cold. If top up use correct oil (see handbook) & fill gradually. Check brake fluid & coolant level between max & min tank marks when engine cold. Replace brake fluid every? 2 yr. Check coolant level & top up when engine cold. Check handbook dor any special antifreeze & tap water/antifreeze mix. Don't forget to top up windscreen washer reservoir and, if fitted, check hydraulic power steering fluid is between min and max tank marks. Also check no obvious loose hoses or leaks.
How much engine oil ... By: Hiabuser. on 31 Jul 11, 17:42:14 How much engine oil should one add if low? Answer: Top up little by little, allowing enging oil to sink down and then re-checking, as required.

How does knowing the stopping distance from 50 miles an hour make you a safe driver? Can anyone estimate 50 metres as they drive along? How would doing that help you? What about, a pedestrian is injured at the side of the road, what do you do? Well you'd probably? stop to help if there was no one else around but its likely there are already people helping. Again, how does that make you a safe driver? It's a DRIVING TEST not a first aid test

That's like saying "4.5 million kids die in Africa each year so it's pointless trying to save the handful of kids dying anywhere else!" Small changes on a big scale obviously are just as beneficial as big changes on a small scale. If the 10 billion? cars in the world managed to drive a bit more economically, then this would clearly reduce emissions more than the "aircraft taking off and landing elsewhere".

By: grahamzx9r. on 04 Aug 11, 23:21:35 Following driving tests now examiners are briefing the candidates on eco driving, which is good but, they often mention block changing up gears?? Has nobody at the dsa realised that? old uneconomical cars only had 3/4 gears but cars now have up to 6 gears, to make them economical, block changing up, turns a 6 speed car into a 3 speed car

By: grahamzx9r. on 17 Jan 11, 23:40:28 Come on DSA, turning off engine is a? very risky business, possibly fair enough in obvious grid lock jam but at lights???. take my citroen for example at night if you turn off the ignition,, off the lights go off with it, not to mention the other posts regarding battery/ starter motor life. Please stick to advice such as light throttle usage, and anticipation. 2nd gear starts downhill are fine but there could be a 'coasting' element in there, to avoid clutch wear.
Pulling off in ... By: shepfrancis1. on 16 Jan 11, 12:21:19 Pulling off in second, fine but only if on a sufficient downhill gradient, else it's a new clutch in 1000 miles time (not very eco.)

Great way to kill your clutch life expectancy requiring a ~£350 bill for parts and labour, along with all that nasty C02 you are so worried about being emitted during the manufacture of the part. Turning the gnine off at lights? Frequent starting of an engine with no oil in the galleries or on the bearing surfances will go a long way to? wear out your engine and cause higher fuel consumption later on when the cylinders lose compression etc. This is an awful video.

Too little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I cannot see why the DSA has endorsed this video. Hand positions are appalling. His anticipation at the lights? should be that it might turn red and NOT that it might stay green.

Whoever? came up with the questions got told to write a load of them, even though they bear no relevance to driving, just so people would fail and have to retake the test. I wonder how many more metres it would take to stop if my car was heavily loaded? Guess I'll have to increase my estimations as i drive along!!

the point is that ... By: GearsOfWarAnimations. on 18 Apr 12, 18:47:57 the point is that you are going to notice the hazards when driving because it relys on you having to, or you'll actually crash! if your in a quiet room staring at in on a screen where it's not actually life threatening you're not going? to notice as much.

Sometimes things aren't hazards, but develope into them so I click, but because I was supposed to know that that car was going to stop at the junction halfway across the road as soon as I saw, I get bugger all points because I was too slow apparently. Other times I see a bike, click too slowly so i get bugger all points. Then on another? video I clicked too fast and got 0.

But in every clip you should be looking for the main, deadly hazard, plaster it with clicks as it developes. Don't worry about clicking too much, keep your eye open, watch the clip, think "would i be covering my break round about now?" Although I agree with @CH3TT3RS, The system could be better,? they could do this on your practice test day, in a car.

Driver CPC is a ... By: dsagov. on 14 May 12, 06:53:15 Driver CPC is a qualification for professional bus, coach and lorry drivers. It has been introduced across Europe with the aim of improving road? safety. You can find out the full background in directive 2003/59/EC of the European Parliament.
It was developed as ... By: codge2112. on 12 May 12, 13:47:27 It was developed as a cash cow for the dsa and for that reason only,rip of Britain strikes the few? who work Again.
The CPC would be a ... By: Spike20101000. on 17 Apr 12, 16:17:31 The CPC would be a good idea if it was a set course that gets you up to date on changes with law, new practices and the like (kinda like ADR), but its been proven (I where there when these courses where put together), that have been put together by people and verified by independent assessors that have no experience of the job at all (didn't seem to care either)
They don't even know the requirements of the driving test.
And the future? of the industry is in their hands? I shiver at the thought.
I have gotten out ... By: Spike20101000. on 17 Apr 12, 16:09:41 I have gotten out of driving for good, all I feel in transport as a driver is that I am continuously persecuted and robbed and the CPC is just another rushed in cock up designed to make money.
My wages over the years have gone from £9 when I started a decade ago to being offered minimum wage for the same job.
Would you honestly do a job,as high risk, and high? responsibility, with such long hours for such a menial rate? I don't bloody think so.

It theoretically could be the same kids on same journey! (* think 97 was last year) its mad!

Personally though, I fail because my nerves get the better of me and I start to forget things....I don't think an instructor can help that!! So what can I do! Just keep on failing. My last test I? failed because I parked too fare than 2 cars lengths! I mean, this is a joke!

By: safedriver2007. on 10 Aug 11, 08:38:12 I do think that one of the things that most pupils and instructors do not realise is that Maybe a candidate failed on a particular subject but perhaps there was another subject/s that on? the day the candidate got away with but it might be a reason to fail on another attempt. By having the instructor in the car he/she will be able to see the all performance and therefore be more accurate during the follow up lessons.

By: WhiteShadow2k1. on 06 May 11, 16:42:08 Here in Germany it is normal for the instructor to be with you during the test,? because it is his/her vehicle that you have been training in all the time and that you a fully familiar with. The instructor sits next to you, like they do all the time, and the inspector sits in the rear and is usually quietly observing and writing down your mistakes. That way, you're basically doing a normal driving lesson and if you're doing good, you'll be issued the driver's license as soon as the lesson ends.

4 Points and i would have passed, now i have to pay another £31 to do it again. (I'm taking it tomorrow, Tuesday) But i'm probably going to lose out by a few points again.

By: boobiesmakemesmile06. on 25 Feb 12, 23:01:29 I don't think hazard perception is the big swingle, the pass mark on that test is very low, 44/75 is the pass mark (58%), compared to 43/50 on the multiple choice test (86%). Its easy too, in fact, it's common sense. I think the money grabbing occurs during lessons. It is not cheap to learn to drive drive, but neither is going to? university, eating, heating, paying your taxes, paying your insurance. Your whole life is to work, consume and die.

It's because the roads are narrow, and people have to park their cars? on the street, rather than in driveways. As for stick shifts, I believe it's because fuel costs so much more (UK is about 2x as expensive), and automatic cars use more fuel. It would actually be a lot easier to drive automatics, since the roads are so congested.

It's referred to as a "manual" as opposed to a "stick-shift," and since Europe doesn't have straight, flat roads throughout, it makes more sense to drive one. Anywho, driving a manual? is infinitely more fun, but that's just an opinion.

There's no doubt that the test is not the same? as driving alone.

It's a goog idea. I make sure my pupils are using traffic signs from as early? as possible in their training, which means they are more than ready for this. richard-miller.co.uk
