PST 2-12T Exercises 10P and 12T
The Supervising Examiner will describe your learner as a partly trained student. After the word picture from the SE or Supervising Examiner, you will go straight into the recap. Don’t forget this is now your time to take control and watch everything the SE is doing, especially when they go to move off, a prime time to throw a fault your way. Make certain they have done their Cock Pit Drill.
This PST has two parts, signals and pedestrian crossings. Don’t spend too long on signals that you run out of time to adequately cover pedestrian crossings. The SE would give you a poor mark for this, cover both equally and link them in together.
This PST the areas to cover are:
- briefing on pedestrian crossings / signals
- mirror, signal, manoeuvre
- speed on approach
- stop when necessary
- overtake on approach
- inviting pedestrians to cross
- signals by indicator
- signals by arm
- signals - timing
- unnecessary signals
Some typical faults that may be thrown at you during your part 3 instructional test
- late use of signals in all situations - incorrectly timed or misleading signals
- errors in MSPSL on approach to pedestrian crossings
- incorrect use of hand signals, or at a dangerous time
- waving or signalling to pedestrians to cross
- revving the engine whilst waiting for pelican lights to change
- failing to take any observations on approach to a crossing
- failing to anticipate the behaviour of pedestrians at crossings
- using the wrong signal - left or right
- signalling to pass parked cars when unnecessary
- not reacting to traffic lights
- speeding towards crossings
The above faults may be used, as well as many others which you may never have seen before and probably never will see used by a learner driver, so be prepared. Use the following fault analysis check list.
Fault Analysis
- Identify Fault- Say It
- What or Where Should?
- Why Should?
- When to Do/How To Do/How To Judge
- So Next Time?
- Prompt or Guide Next Attempt
- Praise When Done/Be Specific
Don’t forget your structure for the briefing
- Recap
- Lesson Objective
- Lesson Briefing
- Debrief
Make sure you cover all the main points and keep to the structure, don’t miss anything out, if you do cover it in the Debrief at the end, this is your last remaining chance. Remember Good Bad Good, always finish on a good note.
Blue Instructor Training will provide the most appropriate and up to date training to help you prepare the Part 3 examination
