Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.
A5 is about facing the direction of travel or the direction you are about to travel. Looking ahead does not replace mirror checks; it means keeping awareness of your path as you gather other information.
A driver checking a side reference can keep rolling toward parked cars without noticing. Straighten and control the vehicle's path before focusing on whether a parking reference lines up.
A rear-view mirror showing the back of the car is not the same as looking in the direction of travel. The lesson calls for direct rear-window observation while backing, with other checks used as needed.
Staring at a truck beside you can pull your steering toward it. Keep awareness of the truck through scanning and peripheral vision while directing your eyes toward the path you intend to follow.
A bin, parked car, or curb can attract attention and become a fixation point. After the necessary cyclist checks, look toward the centre of your intended lane as the vehicle follows the curve.
