In this short podcast we talk about poor positioning by learners. So when we have to hold back for a car, if the student has seen the situation arising early on gives you the advantage in positioning.
Talks about the optimum hold back position - cars length away from parked and as much to middle or centre line of road - so have an easy moving off senario and avoiding harsh steering, and improved vision. Good position means cars behind will see that your not parked but your positioned to move around the car. Consider popping on right signal to emphasis your intention.
Discusses problems with poor positioning.
Getting into a gap between two parked cars is discussed and how lack of anticipation can cause learners to be late or too fast in making their decision to pull in. Slowing the car down means you have greater control.
Basic rule keep the learner slow, get them to see ahead and plan and anticipate to get right outcome.
