Driving Lessons Morley

The summary of the practical driving assessment is as follows:

You will need to score enough points to meet the standard and acquire your driver’s licence.

The seven PDA criteria points are, looking, signalling, flow, movement, path, vehicle management and responsiveness. In the assessor’s judgement and according to the “I assess” software, you will have to score majority of the points throughout the five sections in the test. It can be very easy to pass with a good level of preparation.

PDA Western Australia Criteria explained in the following section:

Looking is observing in general. You need to observe the road, your rearview mirrors, blind spots and the side mirrors accordingly in every given situation where necessary.

Signalling is indicating in general. Promptly indicating is the only way of communicating with other road users. Using signals correctly in the driving test will influence the outcome of your PDA.

Flow is how efficiently you drive (both low and high-speed manoeuvres). More precisely, it’s how you combine your skills, how you blend in with the traffic and how little you inconvenience the rest of the road users.

Movement of your vehicle. To obtain a driver’s licence you need to flow through the traffic. Also, when turning corners at a low speed and any other actions while in motion need to be smooth.    

Path of your motion on the road and carparks needs to be adequate. You need to pick and track the best path accurately and maintain a steady course of movement throughout the PDA.

Vehicle Management. You need to perform all the drivers’ routine duties in your vehicle as well as any experienced driver. You’ve got to keep an eye on instruments (dashboard).

Additionally, you have to be seated properly, so that you can effortlessly reach all the controls as necessary. If you are driving a manual car (C class driver’s licence), vehicle management is far more complex. You will need to manage your clutch to the required standard.
