  2. Lesson 42. The Safety Pyramid

    SEP 10 • DRIVING LESSONS ONLY

    Lesson 42. The Safety Pyramid

    Lesson 42. The Safety Pyramid. This lessons is an amalgam of many of Instructor Liz's lessons. It should be listened to before attempting the test, but more importantly, before driving solo! Too many drivers learn "the hard way" by being involved in a crash, instead of learning early on in their driver training journey about: how to control their vehicle, how to anticipate threats and hazards, and how to analyze what you will need to action and what can be simply observed. This is an essential lesson to be a safe and confident driver for life. Lessons required to understand this topic: Lessons; 1. Car Controls, 2. Hand over hand steering, 3. The most Important lesson, 4. Safety bubble, 5. Pull-push steering, 7. Early decisions, 8. Communicate, 18. Emergency braking, 19. Commentary driving

In this episode, Instructor Liz will be giving her top 5 tips for merging on to motorways and highways to make you more confident and happier when attempting this procedure. From Liz: Please remember the basic road rule of "Keep Left" for all multi-laned roads! Be aware that other drivers have different levels of driving skills. DO NOT cut in front of trucks. Please use a courtesy wave if someone "lets you in" the lane. Allow extra travel time for traffic, and finally, keep in mind, we all want to get to our destination safely.

  4. Good Vs Bad Instructor with Instructors John & Liz

    Good Vs Bad Instructor with Instructors John & Liz

    Instructor John is back! He will give us his tips on finding a good quality driver trainer. Since you are listening to this episode, you have already found a good instructor! Not everyone can, that is why I have recorded my lessons so everyone can have access to high quality lessons at a small price. I'm sure you know of someone who has had a lesson with a bad/poor instructor (it may even be you who had that experience), and the feelings of wasting time and money having that lesson, have probably left that student not wanting to get back in the car. As my friend Instructor John says "If you pay peanuts, you'll get monkeys!". Although it can be a bit tough on the budget, it is usually worth paying more for services and products, so you know you are getting quality. This is so much more important with driving lessons, as you will be using this skill for life! And with poor training, you are more likely to be involved in incidents that could cost you a lot of money in the long run! If you have had multiple attempts at your driving test and still not passed using an instructor, this is an episode you MUST listen to! John is available for manual lessons from Helensvale, Gold Coast "Driving Force School of Motoring" Hosts: John Griffiths, Liz Lafferty Full driving lessons and videos for subscribers here: https://theartofconfidentdriving.com/

  6. Holiday driving

    JUN 21

    Holiday driving

    Holiday driving. How to get to your destination without stress, and be able to enjoy the journey! A few extra tips from Instructor Liz: Learner drivers should have extensive experience with general driving before attempting highway and open road driving. Travelling with the family can be a great adventure! But make sure you arrive safe and sound. Don’t allow the driver to be distracted – kids, you must keep the driver hydrated and happy. Passenger: Shotgun position – check all lights are working, give the car some cool driving songs, you are the back up driver so keep watch! Passengers: rear seats – either: eye spy, watching a device with headphones on (so the noise doesn't distract the driver) or hold intelligent conversations to keep the driver alert. Alternate choices include; singalong, reading books, thumb wars. Above all, please, follow the road rules, prepare for the journey – know your route and make sure your car is roadworthy. Let’s all work together to get to our destinations safely! With your sense of humour (and driving adventure) intact. Host: Liz Lafferty

    Examiner Vs Instructor

    Examiner Vs Instructor, what difference does it matter if I call the Examiner an Instructor? In this episode, Instructor Liz will explain why some examiners can't technically be called instructors! From Liz: "I think examiners have a tough job, but it doesn't mean they are tough on the applicants. If you don't agree with the assessment, you should ask calmly and respectfully for them to explain what the issues were. While I could be an examiner, I choose to teach instead, which means I miss out on all the perks that state government workers (examiners) enjoy, but it is worth it, because I can have quality time educating my students! Plus, if I was an examiner, unless they were up to my very high standards of car control and road rule knowledge, I would fail most applicants! LOL" Host: Liz Lafferty Full driving lessons and instructional videos are here: https://theartofconfidentdriving.com/
