1. Driving Simulator

Objective: To provide a controlled environment for learners to familiarize themselves with vehicle controls, basic driving skills, and to handle different driving scenarios.

Activities:

• Introduction to Vehicle Controls: Steering wheel, pedals, gear shifter, dashboard indicators.
• Basic Maneuvers: Starting/stopping the car, accelerating, braking, turning.
• Scenario Training: Night driving, adverse weather conditions, emergency situations, highway merging, and urban driving scenarios.

2. Basic Plan

Objective: To teach the fundamental skills required for safe and effective driving.

Activities:

• Vehicle Safety Checks: Pre-driving checks, understanding the vehicle manual, and basic maintenance tips.
• Starting and Stopping: Smooth acceleration and deceleration, proper use of mirrors, and blind spot checks.
• Straight Line Driving: Maintaining lane discipline, proper hand positioning on the steering wheel.

3. Ground Practice

Objective: To develop maneuvering skills and control in a controlled environment.

Activities:

• Track Shape 8: Practicing control and precision in handling turns and maintaining a steady speed.
• Track Shape H: Improving skills in navigating sharp turns and handling tight spaces.
• Parallel Parking: Techniques for successful parallel parking, including understanding reference points and adjusting the vehicle’s position.

4. Road Practice

Objective: To apply learned skills in real-world driving conditions.

Activities:

• Residential Driving: Navigating through residential areas, understanding speed limits, and pedestrian safety.
• Urban Driving: Handling traffic lights, stop signs, and busy intersections. Learning to share the road with cyclists and pedestrians.
• Highway Driving: Merging, changing lanes, maintaining safe following distances, and understanding highway signs.

5. Traffic Practice

Objective: To master driving in different traffic conditions and improve decision-making skills.

Activities:

• Rush Hour Traffic: Strategies for dealing with congestion, patience, and maintaining a calm demeanor.
• Intersection Handling: Right-of-way rules, making safe turns, and handling multi-lane intersections.
• Defensive Driving Techniques: Anticipating other drivers’ actions, maintaining a safe distance, and handling aggressive drivers.
