Being aware of what is near your vehicle when on driving lessons in Spalding is really important. There are plenty of places that crop up where maintaining the space around your car is very necessary. Watch this video for some examples of being aware of space around your car on a driving lesson in Spalding.
Whether it be driving in the Town Centre, around St Thomas' Road or on the new by-pass, the principle remains the same - it is not something that is speed dependent. Maintaining large spaces between your car and others is good as it reduces the need to quickly go on your brakes to react, and it provides a nice buffer of time in which you and others around you can respond safely.
When driving in slow moving traffic, not driving too close to the vehicle in front, when coming on to a roundabout not driving too close to the vehicle crossing you, when paused at a red traffic light, being aware of a cyclist or pedestrian really close to the car, when on a single carraigeway being aware of a motorbike wanting to overtake you, when overtaking on a motorway. There are loads of examples of this very important principle, and applying it is a #gooddrivinghabit. Check out my twitter feed "tukkr" for more of these lifetime good driving habits.
The key skill to develop on the BIG TOM intensive driving course in Spalding is to make yourself aware of what is around the car at important times, so that in the event of a potential hazard escalating, you as the driver, are aware of your responsibility to keep things safe. The habit to develop on your course is identifying the times when mirror checks, and all round observations, are necessary and effective. It takes time to develop this skill, and you are encouraged to practise it throughout your course.
