Lesson EDT 9: Changing Direction (more complex Situations)

When you have done lesson 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 6^th & 7^th & 8^th EDTs with an ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) . You can do lessons 9, 10, 11, & 12 EDTs in the order to suit you.

After taking 8hrs EDT & practice, you should be able to use your own judgement to negotiate your junctions. With an ADI & a dual control car you should safe to do so.

Your next objective for the 9^th EDT, you should drive in more complex situations to cover MSMM (Mirror, Signal, Mirror, Manoeuvre ) routine.

Objectives of the 9^th EDT are:

-Carry out observation & scan when turning Right & left.

-Negotiate junctions; and

-Changing direction in more complex & challenging driving situations.

The achievement of the 9 EDT should be:

1)      Changing course safely with due regard for traffic controls;

2)      Changing course safely with due regard for other roads users;

3)      Yield to other road users & progress;

4)      Changing course safely using MSMM routine without prompt

If you are struggling with lesson 9 (EDT), maybe more practice with an ADI, your sponsor, or both would be advisable as lesson 9 is very challenging (the RSA are recommending 3 hours tuition between each EDT).

If you need more help on EDT you can email me for further details on francis@castletownsom.com.
