Speed Control


1. Check rear-view mirror(s).

2. Adjust speed (select appropriate gear) as required, in accordance with traffic pattern, gradient of the road, road surface, visibility and speed restriction.

3. Accelerate, if necessary.

4. Decelerate, if necessary.

5. Brake, if necessary.


Note A:

If the speed of the vehicle increases considerably without application of the accelerator and if continuous use of the service brake is necessary, brake to the appropriate speed before a lower gear is engaged in order to minimize an increase in speed.

Repeat this procedure as necessary.  Avoid selecting a lower gear to assist or replace braking, in order to reduce the speed of the vehicle.


Note B:

If during the road test, the applicant drives too slowly for the circumstances, he/she shall be penalized every 5 - 8 seconds for:
