C. A series of practical 'on site' manoeuvre's designed to familiarise you with all the controls and help you establish competent handling. Including, pulling away and stopping, figures of eight, emergency stops, u-turns and left and right turns.
D. A road briefing to discuss the importance of the Highway Code, hazard perception and general road awareness.
E. Finally, a road ride, throughout which you will be in contact with your instructor via radio communication. With their guidance you will deal with most traffic situations such as T-junctions, roundabouts, traffic lights, crossings etc...
