K53 Learner’s and Driver’s Test Success is normally updated on
an annual basis. It is important that you always use the latest version to
ensure that you learn with the most up to date content and can benefit from the
latest enhancements. The current version is 2009-2010.
Does the content
really cover all I need to learn to pass the Learner’s and K53 Driver’s Licence
Tests?
Yes it does. For the Learner’s Licence Test you’ll find a lot of
material on the disk that is designed to make the learning process simple and
relevant. The idea is for you to understand the concepts surrounding the Test
and the questions that are being asked. Once you have an understanding of the
topics you will find that you are able to answer the questions in the Test
itself.
For the Driver’s Test nothing will replace actually practising
the manoeuvres and driving in a real car. But the content on this disk will tell
you what is important to know from a theoretical point of view, what your
examiner is looking for and how the test is structured and marked. All the
required manoeuvres are explained in detail together with many driving
situations that you might encounter whilst driving. Prepare your practical
training and your exam well by studying the material intended for the K53
Driving Licence Test.
There is additional content on the disk that is intended to help
you become a safer driver. This information will assist you in understanding the
concepts for safe driving, highlight how you can foresee and then avoid hazards
that are developing on the road, and how you can minimise your cost of motoring
in relation to insurance and the cost of buying and owning a car. (See below the
additional FAQ items for more detailed explanations.)
The Hazard Awareness Skills section is designed to help you
become a safer driver by you to learning to recognise developing hazards early
on. By recognising hazards early on you will be able to take evasive action
before the hazards materialise and thereby avoid dangerous situations on the
road.
The section contains an explanation of the concept and includes
video clips for you to observe and use the mouse button to interact with to so
that you gain experience and learn about such hazards.
The additional features cover areas that are important for any
motorist to be aware of and help reduce the cost of motoring. The content
includes the following items:
►
Rules about right of way that are not covered by the requirements for the Learner’s Licence Test
►
The guiding principles for motoring, designed to help you become a safer driver
►
Tips about vehicle maintenance, buying
and insuring – designed to help you keep your vehicle in a good
and safe working condition, as well as save money when it comes
to buying and insuring your vehicle. One of the biggest outlays
in motoring is the cost of the car – its loss of value over time
– and this section contains tips on how to minimise your costs
in that area.
