Welcome to Driving School WA tutorials if you're doing your first driving lesson ever without
any previous experience it's a good news for you so this is what's going to happen on your first
driving lesson if you're using a proper driving school and the instructor who can operate the
dual controls from the passenger side any maneuver in the car that you can possibly imagine we can do
from the passenger side including steering okay so we can steer from the passenger side
so there's absolutely nothing to be stressed about so i'm going to demonstrate to you so i'm
going to go to first gear so it's a manual vehicle transmission let me change gears and do the clutch
and everything else so there's no restrictions for us what we can do in uh in the manual um you know
transmission we've got we've got everything here and we can do everything perfectly as if we were
seated on the uh on the right hand side on the on the driver's side so we're fully qualified to do
exactly what every instructor should do sadly we see occasionally people swapping seats with
learners which they should not be doing if their cars are equipped with dual controls so i'm going
to demonstrate from here that i can perfectly handle any given situation from my side including
changing gears reversing doing low speed maneuver high speed maneuvers steering sharply correcting
what you do as a learner that way you're going to stress less about anticipation so this short
demonstration that i'm going to show you in a minute will definitely make you feel better about
your first driving lesson if you don't have any previous experience with driving clearly you're
going to be sitting behind the wheel but we will assist you a lot on your first driving lesson
towards the end of the first driving lesson you will be able to handle the vehicle with
our assistance and you're going to be a lot more familiar with how it feels and what the procedures
are here we go so to change gears obviously we've got a press clutch there's separate videos on on
clutch control and gear selection so we go to first gear releasing the handbrake indicating
right nobody's passing me and i move off okay so i can perfectly drive from this side without
any fear that we're gonna get into a situation where you're going to have to intervene or do
something that's unwanted so i can do any type of maneuver from this side as you can as you can see
and we can demonstrate things a lot easier from this side when you're doing your lessons in the
beginning stages so see i'm indicating checking the blind spot getting around i'm going to go
on the main road so there's no problems going on the main road either so you know it's really
something that we do all the time and we are fully qualified to do all of this so you know there's
absolutely no need for you to stress out okay so as you can see i'm just going down main road and
as a result i'm sure that a lot of you will feel a lot better knowing that you're not
alone and there's somebody next to you who can do everything necessary at any point in time
so you know now turning sharp corner left so no problems whatsoever i can handle it just fine
same exactly the same as if i was sitting on the right hand side on the driver's side okay
so we can even reach indicators even if they are on the right hand side and now i'm turning we
can do that with one hand so you know it's more than adequate help that we can offer
from the passenger side so never feel that you're by yourself
because you're certainly not now i'm going to make a sharp turn to the right here okay
and i'm going to increase the speed i'm pressing the clutch going to third gear here so
going straight ahead so every instructor should be capable of doing this from the passenger side
and we discourage instructors to switch seats in the middle of the road with the student to
demonstrate something because it is not necessary so if you're not familiar with how to do all of
these things you know you've got to practice on it you know so i can even do the reverse parallel
parking here just behind that car from this side you know i don't need assistance even to do the
reverse parallel parking so i'm going to do that quickly so we've got a reverse camera as well but
they don't let you use the reverse camera in the driving assessment so basically i'm doing
the reverse parallel parking yeah for some it might be interesting that i'm doing everything
with with one hand and obviously observing and checking everything so you know it is a great
help that you can sort of be guided with an instructor who can do all of this without any
assistance whatsoever okay it's really really easy and important to understand that you know every
type of maneuver that you can possibly imagine even those that you feel are totally you know
difficult or almost impossible to do without a lot of practice we can definitely do it from the uh
from the opposite side checking the traffic about here so we can even do reverse parking
okay changing to second gear okay going to third turning left again it's a sharp corner
slowing down going to the second gear releasing the clutch turning nicely okay so um increasing
the speed again third gear indicating and checking the blind spot because i'm passing
the cars that are parked on the side of the road indicating left checking the left blind spot to
see if the first car started the move turning left here so i can do it forever and all of
our instructors at Driving School WA are fully capable of doing this from the passenger side so
it's a lot quicker to demonstrate how things are done properly and you know what you do
need to do and what you need to avoid doing and all of that stuff so you know as a result you will
have much better value for your lessons if your instructor can demonstrate everything properly
from the passenger's side so i can even reverse park i'm going to go up here in the car park and
do reverse parking so we'll do the three line rule so we're counting one two and the third
line i'm going to overshoot slightly okay i've overshot selecting reverse gear in the test by
the way they're not going to allow you to look at the rear camera so you've got to use your mirror
get your back off the seat and basically just when you start to move swing sharp full lock every type
of maneuver i can do comfortably forom my from my passenger side so if you're unsure at any point
in time you can basically let go of everything and we'll automatically take over so if you feel that
there's something that's a bit too much for you you can't handle a certain situation on the road
you can simply just let go of everything and we'll take over and basically demonstrate at that point
in time what's the proper way of carrying those things out and how you can do it better the next
time so we thank you for watching we truly hope that this video will make you less nervous about
your first lesson without any experience behind the wheel and we will see you in the next video
