In the short video above, Graham Hooper talks about Unit 3 of the National Driving Syllabus. DVSA National Driving Syllabus, Unit 3: Driving a vehicle in accordance with the Highway Code It can be challenging for ADIs to integrate The Highway Code into their driver training syllabus once a pupil has passed their theory test. However, incorporating and referring to The Highway Code regularly on driving lessons makes it easier for The Highway Code to become embedded into a new driver's learning without it becoming boring and repetitive. As we all know, just reading The Highway Code might be a great cure for insomnia but putting it into practice and helping it be real-life will make the learning more fun and interactive. For this to happen, we ADIs should know it inside out, upside down and all around - it should be the very bedrock of our knowledge and understanding of all principles of driving, from zip-merging to parking regulations.How many of you have read The Highway Code in the last week, month, year or since passing the Part One examination? To learn The Highway Code we must use it and refer to it daily - it should be dog-eared and probably not in a great condition. The other book we should use frequently is Driving - the essential skills, which gives more depth than the rules and regulations in The Highway Code. Have a look at your training resources and ask yourself, do you really know them? Do you use them? Do you need to get some new ones? The DVSA Driving Syllabus Unit 3 is all about The Highway Code and it is essential that driving instructors know how to bring that book to life for the benefit of teaching safe driving for life. Unit 3 is also very useful if you are considering creating your own syllabus or designing a training logbook. If you want to learn more about creating great driving lessons then you may want to consider one of our training courses and, in particular, the Standards Check and Part 3, Route 51 Workshop. We focus on what makes a great lesson and what makes a great trainer. |
