Safe use of mobile phones while driving - advice for new drivers
When you are driving on the roads, you need to be a very responsible driver. Your one mistake can not only affect your life but there are chances you would put other innocent lives in danger too.
Many times life doesn't give you a second chance. Especially if you are driving. Mistake made during driving can affect you physically, mentally. Many people take long time to overcome the trauma after facing the mishap.
We all know do's and dont's of driving, but not all practice those.
Few days back there was an incidence where a young girl died in an accident while texting while driving. Ironically her text message was something like 'you should not text while driving'.
For all learner drivers, DSA has thoughtfully prepared a very good syllabus that covers all important aspects of driving. Car, Motorbike theory test has sections on vulnerable road users, road and traffic signs, speed limits, important documents etc.
Test also consists of DSA hazard perception section, which is like driving on the road - identifying, judging, and reacting to hazards from driver's point of view.
So basically every learner driver has to go through the DSA theory test preparation, driving practical test to prove he/she is well prepared for the road. Then only he/she gets full professional driving license,Still accidents happen! Why?
Because we just forget all the training we had been given while DSA theory test preparation.Driving theory test questions, Free hazard perception test, mock theory test preparation is not just passing your driving test, but they are actually designed for practicing on the road.
These days communication has become very easy and many have got almost addicted to it.There are people who can't stay away from communication gadgets.And that is the main reason of accidents on the road.
Drivers tend to forget simple things -
Do not accept/make call when you are on wheels - All phone calls divert driver's attention from the road.
Law doesn't allow you to use hand held mobile while you are on the wheels, not even at traffic signals.
If the call is too important, park at safe place then take/make that call. But even for an important call you are not allowed to use the hard shoulder of the motorway.That is reserved for emergency breakdown.
If you know someone is driving, don't call them, or if you come to know someone is driving ask them to call back after they have parked their vehicle at safe place.

Motorcyclists, lorry and bus drivers Safety improvements
Measures to boost safety for motorcyclists and lorry and bus drivers have been put forward in Parliament.
The measures - which also strengthen requirements for driving examiners and impact on the rules for drivers towing trailers - will come in to force on 19 January 2013 as part of new European requirements aimed at improving road safety.
The changes are being implemented by the Department for Transport in conjunction with the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
The main aspects of the new rules are:
Motorcyclists - Access to more powerful bikes will be staged subject to competence, age and previous experience. The minimum age to ride the largest bikes without previous experience will rise from 21 to 24.
Licence renewals for bus and lorry drivers - At present, drivers of medium-sized and large buses and lorries need to renew their licenses every five years once they reach the age of 45. Over 45s also need to demonstrate their fitness to drive through a full medical report. From 2013, all new or renewed bus and lorry licenses will be renewable every five years. However, drivers under 45 will not require a full medical report and will still only need to renew their photograph every 10 years. All other drivers and riders will continue to renew their driving licenses every 10 years as is currently the case.
Driving examiners - Compulsory initial qualification, periodic training and quality assurance checks will be required for driving examiners. Britain already fulfills most of these requirements but the new rules will enhance the Driving Standards Agency's existing arrangements.
Trailer towing - Under the new rules car drivers will be limited to towing 3.5 tonnes.
DSA chief executive, Rosemary Thew, said:
"Britain already has some of the safest roads in the world. These changes build on our existing standards and recognize the importance of our examiners' professionalism. They will also help to ensure that new motorcyclists gain the right skills and experience before riding bigger bikes."
DVLA chief executive, Simon Tse, said:
"These changes will provide a useful additional reminder for bus and lorry drivers. They will help to ensure that drivers of these vehicles will continue to operate to high levels of levels of safety by ensuring that they are fit to drive."
The European requirements are being introduced in Great Britain in line with feedback from a public consultation, which included responses from driver and rider training bodies, trade associations and road safety groups.

Driving theory test with touch screen computer
About driving theory test -
There are two parts of driving theory test i.e. multiple-choice test and the hazard perception test. Both the test must be passed in the same attempt to get theory test certificate. Once you clear driving theory test then only you will be allowed to appear for driving practical test.
Multiple-choice test is the first part of driving theory test which consist of 50 questions out of which you need to answer 43 questions right and the time limit is 57 minutes. You can also go for a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. This session is being designed to test your understanding for the theory behind driving.
Hazard perception test is the second part of theory test in which you will be shown 14 clips of 1 minute each having 15 hazards in all (1 clip will have 2 hazards respectively). Once you are done with hazard perception you will be invited to answer few customer survey questions. This session is designed to test your alertness of potential hazards whilst driving.
Unlike multiple choice questions, for the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles e.g. car, bike, heavy vehicle etc, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.
If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole DSA theory test, and need to attempt for both the test again.
About touch screen system:
A touch screen is an electronic visual display that can identify the existence and position of a touch within the display area. The term in general refers to touching the display of the device with a finger or hand. Touch screens can also sense other inactive objects, such as a stylus. On the other hand, if the thing sensed is active, as with a light pen, the term touch screen is usually not relevant.
The touch screen has two main attributes:
Firstly, it enables one to cooperate directly with what is displayed, rather than indirectly with a cursor controlled by a mouse or touch pad. Secondly, it lets one do so without requiring any intermediate device that would need to be held in the hand. The touch screen system has been carefully designed to make sure it is easy to use.

Driving theory test - nervous for the test
Many learners fail in their driving test because they get nervous and stressed out on their test day. Nearly everyone gets nervous about taking their driving test, no matter how well prepared they are. It has been observed that people who are usually cool and calm, they also get worried as the day of their driving theory test day gets nearer and their nervousness gets worse.
The online theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole online test, and you'll need to take both parts again. Once you have passed the online theory test you can then apply to take your practical driving test.
How to prepare for hazard perception test -
Hazard perception test is not difficult at all, most of the learner drivers fail in this part of the test only because they do not understand the examination process.
So make sure you understand how would be tested in this part of the test.
People get nervous about taking their test because:
We wish you good luck in your DSA theory test and practical driving test !

So make sure you understand how would be tested in this part of the test.
People get nervous about taking their test because:
- Pressure from friends/family
- Fear of failure
- Self-doubts and lack of confidence in your driving
- Lack of preparation
- Previous test failure(s)
- Practice and practice and practice - The main reason of failure in a test is lack of preparation and practice. So don't rush into taking your driving test unless and until you're properly prepared and confident about your preparation.
- Before appearing for the test at least once have a mock driving test with your driving instructor.
- Avoid listening to 'failure stories'. This would make you more nervous. Just focus on your performance.
- Think positive about your driving test. Thinking can build an actual difference to overcoming driving test nerves
- It's ok if you make mistake - Your mistake could be minor driving fault, wont necessary fail you in test. If you make a mistake, keep calm and focus
on your driving. - Believe in yourself - Be confident in your own abilities.
- Don't panic - Say to yourself in your head 'I CAN do this test'.
- Don't take medicines to calm your nerves.
- One day before your test get a good rest.
- Don't drink too much coffee, tea and fizzy drinks; the caffeine will 'hype' you and make your thinking less clear.
- Taking test in the early morning will give you less time to worry about it.
- Do not spread the news - Don't tell your friends and other people that you've booked your driving test. This will build the extra stress of trying to
live up to your friends and others expectations. Letting your parents know will do as they will give you all the support you want. - Revise in mind - Perform coordinated tasks by imagining doing them, by practicing in your head.
- Perspective - Overall, remember that although exams are important, they are not the be all and end all. You can always re-take the test.
We wish you good luck in your DSA theory test and practical driving test !

Things to Avoid in your driving practical test
Learner drivers are keen to pass their driving test in the first attempt. There are people who manage to pass the driving test and get the driving license but there are some who are afraid of giving the driving test. They are quite nervous about it. Some learner drivers learn everything but at the time of practical test they are completely vanished. They don't remember anything.
According to DSA Top reasons for failure:
Observation at junctions: Reverse parking - Ineffective observation can lead to the accident while driving. So it's your responsibility to drive your vehicle in minimum speed limit. To keep vehicle Position correctly. Use the correct lane. If you are turning to left keep over to the left and do not swing out. Watch out for cyclists and motorcyclists coming up on your left and pedestrians who are crossing. If you are turning to right keep as near to the centre of the road as is safe. Avoid cutting the corner when turning right. You should be very careful before you move into a junction. And make sure it is safe before you proceed further.
Reverse parking: The very important think is how you park your vehicle. Ensuring you do not touch the curb or mount the pavement, while keeping the car slow, steering must be quick, and try to keep all round successful observation throughout the maneuver. Reversing around a corner is because ineffective observation or lack of accuracy.
Use of mirrors: Insufficient use of mirror can lead to the failure. People who drive a vehicle have got three mirrors in use. The main is interior mirror which is completely flat and gives the exact view out of the back. Always try to sit in the correct position to adjust this mirror. The other two is external side mirrors which have convex glass. The glass bends slightly outwards. The reason for this is to give you a wider viewing angle of the rear.
Use of signals: Use of signal must be followed carefully while driving such as Brake lights, flashing headlights, reverse lights, Horn, Hazard warning lights. Use of signal not given, or misleading signals can make the pedestrians and the other users live dangerous. You have to be very careful while making use of signal.
Inappropriate speed: Unsuitable speed can make the lives dangerous. Driving safely is very important. When you go for driving you should make sure that your speed is under control and you drive safely. Many drivers exceed the posted speed limits. But even if they keep to the posted speed limit, their speed may be unsuitable for the current traffic, road or weather conditions. One reason is that we do not know enough about the suitable speed for specific conditions.
There are many other reason that can be avoided while taking driving practical test such as laziness, sleepiness, being unprepared etc. Sometimes learner don't prepare well for their practical test, they feel tired and if they indulge in drink driving they are unconscious and failed to pass their test. Drivers should try to avoid this thing and try to overcome with this problem.

For Lorries and buses out of 60 questions you need to get 51 rights to pass in 70 minutes and for car and motorbike you need to get 43 right to pass out of 50 questions in 57 minutes.
Hazard perception test:
DSA hazard perception test has been introduced in the driving theory test so that new drivers should not involve in the accidents. Hazard perception is mainly conducted to increase the knowledge of driving. Hazard perception test is very easy if you understand well. Many learner drivers fail in hazard perception test, mainly because of lack of knowledge about the hazard test.
Hazard perception test is a second part of the theory test and must be passed at the same time. People are given to view 14 hazard perception video clips on the computer screen of approximately one minute each. People should watch that clips as if they are the drivers there will be 15 hazard perception clips to find at least one on each clip. . However, one clip will have 2 hazards. The hazard perception test clips will not contain any sound. Learners can score five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15 score able hazards.
The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75. For Lorries and buses the pass mark is 50 out of 75.
Hazard perception practice with Free hazard perception demo clips and examine your self by hazard perception practice test and if there is any mistake to observe hazard clip then practice more to remove your mistake.

Driving safety rules and regulations
Driving the word itself filled with fun and joy if one follows the prescribed rules and regulations of the road!
Driving in UK could be a pleasant experience if only you take care of certain rules and regulations. It is not only essential but also important that you are aware of these rules and regulations for few very important reasons. It is for your safety and other road users as well.
Every country has its own set of rules about driving. It is important that you must know and understand these rules before you drive on the roads in UK.
You need to consider these before thinking of driving on the road:
Driving license:
Before you drive on the road, you must hold valid driving permit/license.
Driving license is most important document for the drivers. Visitors to the United Kingdom may drive rental cars using their national license, if it is in a language which uses Roman letters and numbers. Holders of other licenses must also show an International driving permit in English (available through motoring organizations).
General speed rules:
Follow the speed limits. If you break the speed limit, then you could be punished. In towns and villages, the ideal speed limits is 30 mph. When you are driving, you should always keep your speed below the maximum speed limit.
If you are driving in the town, then usually driving limit should not exceed above 30 mph (48 kph) and major roads by passing towns the driving limit should not exceed 40 mph (64 kph).
Seat belts:
Always wear the seat belts. Seat belts are designed to give a high level of protection in the event of a crash. They are designed to adjust automatically to fit the user, to be convenient and easy to use.
Wearing the seat belts can reduce the injuries of that person as it stops that person to come out of his seat and hit other interiors of the car which is also called second impact.
Despite of risk of serious injuries, and facts that seat belts can be effective in saving the life of people sitting in the vehicle, many people still neglect the use of seat belts while driving.
Drink driving:
Never drink and drive. People in the pub think they are an expert on the drinking and driving laws, but here are the hard facts as per the government law, people who disobey the law then their are severe penalties, including imprisonment, for driving with a Blood / Alcohol level exceeding 80 mg per 100 ml. If the police have a doubt that a person is breaking rules then he may stop the car and go for breath test.
Children: Children under 14 must wear a seat. So if children are traveling with you, it is your responsibility to make sure they are wearing seat belts. Children under 3 years are not allowed in front unless in an approved infant seat or attach. Rear-facing infant seats must not be used in vehicles with passenger-side front airbags. Infants should be carried in an approved baby seat.
It's simple - follow these rules and regulations in UK and cherish the driving!!!

Drink driving facts and penalties
After you pass your DSA practical test, you get a license to drive on the road. Even if you have passed your test, you should always be careful, alert driver on the road. This is for your own safety as well as for other road users safety.
You should always follow road rules and regulations.
Drink driving is one of the serious driving offence. If you drink and drive, not only are you jeopardising yourself, you are putting other road users at risk.
There are 250 people died due to drink driving and 14% of road accidents were caused by drink driving in 2010. By drinking and driving on the road, you risk your life and those of your passengers and others life. Alcohol can affect your ability to drive, weight, age and body metabolism and increase your stress levels. If you are driving after drinking, the alertness and carefulness will be less and you have trouble to judge your speed and be slower to react to hazards.
If you are planning to drive then alcohol must be avoided. This can help to reduce the no. of persons who killed or injured every year in road accidents due to drink driving. So drive safely and safe your and others life.
The drink driving law is complicated and given the severity of any potential punishment, expert assistance from a qualified solicitor should always be obtained. Many road users are confused by drink drive limits and alcohol levels.
The drink drive limit:
35 microgram's of alcohol per 100 milliliters of breath
107 microgram's of alcohol per 100 milliliters of urine
what 80 milligram's of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood

We wish you all a safe and happy new year!
Learning to drive car/motorbike?
Are you planning to give your DSA motorbike theory test / car theory test anytime soon?
You should be aware of the new changes in DSA theory test.
From 23 January 2012 the theory test will be made up of multiple-choice questions which are no longer published in learning materials.
The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorizing theory test questions and answers and learning by rote.
If you are taking your theory test before 23rd Jan 2012, you will be asked the exact same questions as they are published here. But if you are taking theory test after 1st January 2012, you need to know about the changes in the UK theory test.
The questions in the exam will not be exactly same as they are published.
The DSA will not distribute the real/exam questions.
Real/live exam questions will not appear in any product - book, CD, driving test dvd , mobile applications or on any website.
So your test would contain questions which are unpublished.
The official DSA explanations for every revision question will help candidates fully understand the answer. This approach to learning will help candidates to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help them respond correctly to the new, reworded live questions used in the actual test.
No changes are being made to the format of the theory test. It will still be made up of a multiple-choice part and a hazard perception part. The time allowed and the pass marks will stay the same.
You can download car/bike DSA theory test application containing all latest 2012 questions with answers. You can also solve interactive hazard perception clips.
We would like to assure you that the tests will not be any difficult.
But once you pass the test, your understanding of the theory would be better which will help you while driving on the road.
We wish you good luck in your DSA theory test.
