Today we're here at the Department of Transport at West Perth and we're going to go through some of
the streets where you might potentially be doing the exercise left something behind. So from here
we can either go straight ahead or turn right but this time we're going to be turning right so um
we'll just try to explore a little bit different you know set of streets than we did last time.
We've got to obey these stop signs here they are in the private property but still,
we've got to obey them because uh we've got to give way to the traffic that's coming in
and obviously exiting the car park. Okay so we're going down towards Roe Street and Railway Parade
and uh it's it's very random where where the assessor may take you. So uh this time
we're gonna be turning right so we've got to make sure that we give way to anyone including
pedestrians okay so if there are pedestrians you know give way to them as as they're crossing okay.
There's another lady but she's now behind me so you know this is acceptable. So this time
we're going straight ahead we've got merging traffic straight up here. We've got to mirror
blind spot, there's a car right behind me, okay and we've got a roundabout coming up
so make sure you give way to everyone make sure if you're driving a manual to go to second gear
otherwise your transfer of the power from the engine to the wheels will not be adequate and you
know your car might be too sluggish if you need a bit of a power to get you out of trouble.
So any any of the streets on the right-hand side they might choose to do the
exercise left something behind so we're going to turn right here at the roundabout.
Indicate left out on this particular street if there are empty bays on the left they might ask
you to do the reverse parallel parking as well. If you're not sure what you're asked to do you've got
to make sure to ask them to repeat okay. So this is one of the busiest parts of you know uh places
where you might be going for a driving assessment in West Perth and any time of the day pretty much
you'd find that you know this is a bit of a jam here. There's a cop's car behind me so I'm going
to pull over to the left, see all the traffic is uh moving there. There's an ambulance behind us
so we're trying to allow it to to pass and that's you know the best way to do it is to merge left to
merge left so now when it's gone we can indicate right, clearly I've got to check the blind spot.
So I'm going to turn right at the next street.
Just here there's added lane so you never cross the
solid white line on the left-hand side when you're doing this and then we can turn okay
So this is one of the streets where you might be doing the exercise left something behind but also
you might be asked to do the reverse parallel park okay. So, if the assessor asks you I'd like you to
pull over wherever you feel is safe, just try to find the spot where it's the most convenient that
you know you're not going to be disrupting the flow of traffic you know so just pick the most
reasonable spot you know. So once you've stopped uh you can you can indicate off and the hand brake
on as well so the next instruction will be that you know you need to remember this particular
spot where you stopped you um you drive off and at some point they're gonna ask you to come back to
the same spot using the driveways or roundabouts or side streets whatever is most convenient
and again you know whatever is best in order not to disrupt any traffic any flow of traffic that
might be behind you or you know coming from the opposite direction. So once you've been given the
instruction okay now I'd like you to remember this spot here we're going to drive off and at
some point I'm going to ask you to come back here. So what you do is again we prepare to go
with mirror no one seems to be passing me I indicate right looking over my shoulder
and then off I go. They might ask you to come back pretty much immediately so um if that's the case
you could use this roundabout here but this time we're just going to go through so you know
there's no sort of limited you know or there's no minimum or maximum amount of time when they
you know will ask you to come back. So, basically you know they can do it at any point in time so if
they do it here if they say okay I'd like you to go back to the house you left something behind,
so I'm going to indicate right and I'm going to use this little street to make a u-turn here
that is the most you know common way so we indicate left no one's there so we can proceed.
Okay so you've got to indicate right around parked vehicles as well, so mirror and blind spot.
So we're coming back towards that roundabout again
so we have to give way to the people on the right-hand side.
Indicating left out so I'm going to have to find a proper spot to turn around and come
back to the same place so this time I'm going to be using the driveway one of these ones here.
Okay so I've got a pretty wide driveway just up here and I'm not
too close to the intersection okay
Make sure you go as deep as possible without crossing the property line so you can reverse
properly on the left-hand side of the road. So fully locking the steering wheel.
Okay making sure that I see everything any change okay. So now my mirror,
indicate, blind spot and off we go so I know that was behind a black Mercedes.
I'm going to indicate left and I'm going to pull up in the same spot as I was earlier.
So try not to panic just try to make a rational decision and if you're not sure
about the instruction and if there's no suitable place to make a U-turn or to go into the driveway
just continue driving until you can find the most suitable spot where you can turn around. So,
this is just one of the streets that you might potentially go to do your
exercise left something behind and you know there could be any other street around here. So,
just use your common sense you know understand that you've got to proceed within the reasonable
amount of time you can't sit there forever just go go with the flow, and that way you will definitely
optimize your performance and you know and score the maximum amount of points. Try not to rush
things, try not to take too much of your time either and uh and clearly that way that they will
you know assess you as a as somebody who might walk away with a driver's license on that day.
So, we thank you for watching and we will see you in the next video!
