This podcast explores the introductory lesson on Controls.  

The key points from this lesson impact all other subsequent lessons, as it is the first introduction to the main controls the Learner is going to use under instruction by a supervising driver or instructor.   

• Keeping the control lesson simple and clear is key.  
• The controls covered in the early lesson would be - accellerator (gas), brake and clutch, handbrake, gears and indicators.  
• Be clear about how your going to refer to them in any future instruction (an example of this is given).
• When giving an instruction about use of a control ensure it is well in advance to let the learner have time to understand and react to your instruction

A clear introduction to the use and purpose of each control is required.  But as important as the introduction is the way that you are going to refer to the controls during instruction.  This podcast talks about how at this early point in a learners lessons you introduce the clear and concise language of control:  this enables you to give well timed, jointly understood instructions for specific controls to be used.  The podcast provides an example of how this is used in the process of stopping as an illustration.
