Catilynsmygirl - Yes he is older and he made me so nervous when he didn't have to. I live in One Tree Hill so Penrose is my local anyway but as I grew up in Howick I thought it would be good to go somewhere that I knew well - but that didn't work out so well!

Remember to look over your shoulder when backing or changing lanes (or going into the median strip).

An example of hazards is, I'm approaching an intersection and there is a pedestrian to my right, a car stopped at the lights to my left. The light is green, no traffic coming and I have right of way (and proceed to drive through). Other hazards would be, we are approaching a school or passing a bus, but there are no children in my path.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:32:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23513&PID=579850&title=drivers-test-for-full-lic#579850 <![CDATA[Drivers Test for FULL Lic. : Make sure when you are doing your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23513&PID=579717&title=drivers-test-for-full-lic#579717 Author: mummy_becks

Make sure when you are doing your first bit of it (just the driving part), make sure you turn your head to look in the mirrors.

Ok so I have a fair idea of what hazards they are meaning, but when they say 'how you respond to them' - what do they mean exactly?

Does it mean for example - 'School coming up, children nearing pedestrian crossing therefore I am slowing down, braking and preparing to stop'?...i mean basically slowing down and changing gear/ or braking (i drive manual) is the only response you can have, other than keeping a vigilant eye at all times?]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:54:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23513&PID=579706&title=drivers-test-for-full-lic#579706 <![CDATA[Drivers Test for FULL Lic. : I named just about everything...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23513&PID=579686&title=drivers-test-for-full-lic#579686 Author: HippyMama

They look for things like a person standing on the side of the road - it's a hazard as they could run out into the road. Or a cyclist biking along - a car door could open and push them into your lane so you would have to avoid an accident. It's mainly about watching and being aware - if you're coming up near a school, looking out for kids and slowing down if necessary.

Does that help?]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:09:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23513&PID=579518&title=drivers-test-for-full-lic#579518 <![CDATA[Drivers Test for FULL Lic. : Any tips & pointers would be highly...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23513&PID=579513&title=drivers-test-for-full-lic#579513 Author: BuzzyBee

Any tips & pointers would be highly appreciated. Thing that gets me is the 'identifying & responding to hazards' part where they apparently get you to talk through ....can anyone tell me what they mean by this exactly? Can someone elaborate on this and give me a few examples of what they'd be looking for exactly - I'm a little stumped.
