Now that you are well into the halfway stage of your driving lessons, you must have gained enough confidence by now. However, there is always a gap between the cup and the lips. There are certain finer points that you need to know when you learn various technicalities of driving.
If you have enrolled yourself in a reputed driving school, the instructor will likely give you a comprehensive idea about every minute details.
However, still, you need to be careful enough to ask the following few things, in case the driving instructor in Melbourne skips them out of an error of omission. Well, that's a hypothetical scenario after all, and no professional would do that. But there's no harm in being careful. So the safest way is to ask the pro about these few good things!
Dealing with the queue-jumpers as the lanes merge
Some drivers would be annoyed as well as confused like anything, at the very sight of motorists passing them through the left-hand lanes only to zip-merge subsequently at the very last minute.
Ideally, at the points where two or more lanes merge, motorists should use all the lanes, till the lane they are using closes. Then at that point, they need to take it in turns according to their position in the lane, to merge into one, in a process that a zipper would follow to close.
You need to ask the details of this process from your instructor. This is important, as this will carry crucial points when it comes to clearing the test at one go.
Using Full Beam Headlights
This is another finer point that you need to have a clear notion about. Full beam headlights are great when it comes to going for long drives at night in downtowns and suburban roads with no street lights.
However, you need to learn using them correctly. For instance, you need to switch back to the dipped beams the moment you come across another vehicle ahead of you. This is to make sure you do not dazzle the driver of that vehicle. It is not only a show of courtesy but making sure the poor soul is not blinded by the full beam of your lights that may prove fatal at high speed. To be frank, every reputed school that offers comprehensive driving lessons in Melbourne must have this chapter included in its training curriculum.
