Part 3: PDI does a lesson on Awareness & Planning
This video is to help people studying for a DVSA Part 3 test or a Standards Check Test.

Here the PDI practices delivering a driving lesson with the Goal of Awareness & Planning. The route is a busy city route driving into Norwich city centre.

The trainer points out areas of development for the PDI, for example dealing with safety critical incidents in a timely way, avoiding over-instruction, allowing the pupil to self analyse and being more proactive with their instruction to ensure learning takes place.

How 2 Drive on Social Media:

No matter how hard you try as a pdi, when you’re doing role play there’s a part of your brain that knows the driver can drive. It just doesn’t have the same effect as a student who throws random shapes with your car.

"Go ahead, as long as it's safe to do so" and "if in doubt..hang about (wait)!" As a learner driver; were the some of the best bits of advice I ever received.

Many thanks

A tip for pdis, at the 5 min mark if someone asks if they can stop in a yellow box, don't draw a diagram just grab the highway code rule 174, read it out to them and show them the picture. Visual, auditory and reading and writing all in one go.

At 12:01, when the PDI says "....we're gonna go ahead at the next roundabout", wouldn't you need to use the left lane vs using the right hand lane (there was time to pull into the left lane behind the black car) ?

[paulbrown]

great videos my instructor recommended your videos well done Howard

[AudatiousAilbz]

I'm a learner driver but this was still very helpful.

Hi Howard I have always enjoyed your videos few things I have noticed
No core competencies, or Fish and no pupil’s involvement, and level of instruction mentioned?

[Masti]

Should the introduction be not more the. 3 minutes ??

Hello, can I use my own car ( modern Nissan Qashqai that has 360 degree cameras) while giving my part 2 test?? I don't have to look all the mirrors while reversing, I only have to see reversing cameras in my dash board of car. can I use this type of car for my part 2 test??
