Aright folks.
Just finished second day of training.
I swear my neck is sore from looking in mirror’s so often! Guess i expected it really… bum is a bit numb too
So far so good really. Got to grips with the four over four alot better today, however i flicked the switch twice today for some reason going from 7th to 3rd thinkin i was in 5th(in a car)…! gotta not do that…
Just gotta learn my practical questions now. Anyway, just thought i’d add in here little bits until my test on Tuesday… YIKES!
3rd day over.
Thought i did well today. One mistake taking a small roundabout in 6th when apparently i should have been in 5th, althought the lorry pulled round fine …
Monday is practising the reversing exercise and the controlled stop, then tuesday test.
As they were driving along I got my trainees to do -
Forward - raise vision
n/s mirror
forward - raise vision
speedo - glance
o/s mirror
forward - raise vision
speedo - glance
n/s mirror
etc etc
and they could only move their head in an easy relaxed fashion
Spend more time looking left, right and down than forward it feels.
Remember to RAISE YOUR VISION to the horizon every time you look forward - this will assist you in forward planning and allow you space & time to look in the other places.
