When you have done lesson 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th & 8th 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 9th EDT, you should drive in more complex situations to cover MSMM (Mirror, Signal, Mirror, Manoeuvre ) routine.
Objectives of the 9th 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.
