we're here at midland licensing centre so we're going to briefly go through the places where you
might be going and i'm going to mention a few things that you've got to be careful of
so here when you exit licensing centre you might go both ways left or right make sure
you don't cross the uh the solid white line in the middle very important watch out for the
cyclists and pedestrians as well so in this particular area you might expect
a lot of multi-lane change also there are few one-way streets which is a bit tricky so make sure
that you understand when you turn on a one-way road that you don't go the wrong way because
if you attempt to do it they're going to terminate your driving test so be careful of that also there
are a couple of railway crossings you've got to be really careful at railway crossings you can
never block the yellow painted zone until the cars in front of you have completely cleared
sometimes you might even do the reverse parallel parking it's very easy so you know it's basically
watch what you're doing how you how you seated behind the wheel how you observe
and you shouldn't have a problem doing that at all it's not excluded you're gonna do the reverse
parallel parking very easy the only problem that people find with reverse parallel parking is
the cars coming from behind so that's that's the the only thing that i believe that freaks
people out at least those who can drive and who are well prepared to do the driving assessment
always check your blind spot whenever you don't know the speed limit
and if it's not multi-lane road you're best off keeping it at 50 kilometers an hour so for the
speed bumps it usually says 20 but look i would go slightly slower because these are pretty high
we're getting out here towards the um main road also there's a fair few roundabouts in the area so
practice roundabouts always anticipate early which is what a lot of people don't do well
just make sure that you don't cross the white solid lines anywhere when you see the two signs
side by side it always represents that it's a new speed limit from that particular point on
it's a green light
so we're still in the 50 zone
okay so we're going to go straight ahead here
so if you don't live in the area it's definitely different than some other places okay so you've
got to come down here practice get familiarized with the area in order to be able to perform well
on the day of a driving test we've got a school zone here so watch out for school zone watch out
for wildlife that's really important if you see you know ducks or you know one of those uh blue
tongue lizards or turtles whatever it might be you gotta stop and wait if it's crossing the road
so you can fail your driving assessment if you don't give way to wildlife okay going left here
at the uh at the lights and uh we've got a railway crossing watch out for the lights and also don't
end up in the middle of the intersection so be very very careful okay so you can't get stranded
in the yellow painted zone so whenever there's a car in front of you make sure it clears before
you commit inside of that yellow painted zone extremely important we're turning left here
we're going to wait for the lights one way road and check that sign there give way to pedestrians
we have a lot of questions by public asking should we give way to pedestrians when we're turning if
there's no pedestrian crossing 100 per cent you should give way to pedestrians when you're
turning there's lots of these signs all over perth you know this is in midland there's very
fair few in northbridge around west perth and subiaco fremantle and everywhere so you've got
to give way to people crossing the street you know pedestrians crossing when you're turning
and that's very common sign give way pedestrians this is one of the streets
uh that's one way so don't mistake that for being a normal you know two two-way road so this is a
great eastern highway here okay we're going to turn right so we've got to change lanes we have a
green arrow so we go first as a first car i've got to look left and right in case someone's trying
to beat the red light it's very very important okay i see it every single week that someone's
trying to beat the red light and going through the red basically okay so you might be doing the
exercise left something behind anywhere there's no set driving test route you know you can go to
any street any residential street you know so just when they ask you to obviously pull over
by the side of the road you you expect to do the exercise left something behind be careful about
the solid white line again here okay so any street around they might ask you to pull over
and you know to do the exercise left something behind okay so we're gonna turn right here
as you might know don't park anywhere near the intersections don't park on the top of
the fire hydrant it's got to be one meter clearance basically just make sure you
see it over the bonnet and in the rear view mirror so by doing that you're going to make
sure you're not too close and also don't stop near the bus stops either side left or right
and clearly don't stop across the driveway on your side and uh and you know it will be common sense
to avoid spots where there's a vehicle already parked on the right-hand side so you're not
blocking the road as a second vehicle that parked then you would check if there's anyone passing you
you would indicate right shoulder check and off you go so not long after the assessor will say
okay i'd like you to turn around you've left something behind this happens to be
a cul-de-sac so i'm going to make a u-turn so this is an easy street and often they give so
easy options to people and pretty much where it's impossible to make an error so you know just keep
your composure listen to what they say to you and you shouldn't have a problem okay so we're going
to use the next door driveway to turn around i can use this one here so yep there's one there
then make sure that you turn sharp enough with low speed backwards
make sure that you observe well okay both rear view mirror and the rear windows if there's a car
coming you've got to stop and wait i always say to people reversing traffic never has priority
over the forward moving traffic so same set of things that we've got to do we check
the mirror if there's no one passing could then indicate right mirror blind spot and off we go
and simply we go back to the same spot where we stopped it's quite a few stop signs in the area so
just make sure that you stop so once your vehicle stops the best the guide is to count to three
1000 2000 on the third count we can take off we've got a bit of a rain so if it's raining you've got
to use your wipers okay it will depend on the intensity of rain you know how how fast your
wiper should be wiping you know so you've got intermittent speed you've got the low and high
so watch your speed it's a 60 zone here now i'm going to turn right at this traffic lights and
checking my mirror looking over my shoulder switching lanes and getting straight into
the right inside slip lane so now we've got a situation where i need to give way clearly i can
beat that car so no problems whatsoever and i went straight over to the left lane so when you've got
one single turning lane turning onto a multiple lane road you can go straight across to the far
left lane unless you know or unless you've been given instruction to turn right shortly after
and i'm going to turn right into the shops so one of the common places where you might be going
to park okay so this time we've got both green arrow and the green light as a first car always
check both left and right in case someone's going through the red midland is a little bit different
than most of the other areas around the licensing centers in perth so here we've got a lot of
railway crossings we have a lot of one-way streets where you simply can't make an error because that
would be an automatic fail also we have a lot of multi-lane change and merging situations and they
can also take you on the highway occasionally they will take you to roe highway where there's
90 kilometers an hour but not for too long you would exit shortly after you got on it
and then go back towards the licensing centre usually that's towards the end of the driving test
the best idea is to explore the entire area the speed limits in particular there are 50 60 even
there's a spot where there's a 30 kilometers an hour and when you do your stopping for shopping
just understand that it might be really busy if you're going down the middle and gate shops it
might be really extraordinarily busy the best way is to have at least an hour and a half
two hours lesson before your driving test on any day just so you can inspect the traffic if there's
any roadworks if there's anything that you haven't experienced before so by knowing what to expect
you will handle everything much better thank you for watching and we'll see you in the next video
