Podcast 6 (2021)

This podcast covers the all important skill of being able to stop a car once you have moved off.  As a parent supervising a learner it is important not to overestimate how the learner may be phased by this - they have just got going and need to keep it slow (first gear) in the first few attempts.  

The process for stopping is covered step by step under the headings of: P.O.S

• P   -  Place (Save Convenient and Legal - SCALP for short) with targets for them to aim for, like Stop at the postbox ahead!

• O  -  Observations /mirror work before slowing down to stop, 
  • including indications if needed -
  •  in this case slowing down to stop on left (rear and left mirrors)

• S  -  Stopping Process - the key steps to a controlled stop (come off the gas , 
  • cover (ie just hover over) the clutch/brake, (this gets them off the gas)
  • and then a buss or two car lengths before the target you identified for stopping, its  clutch down - use the momentum to then steer
  • use imaginary clock face - 11 oclock, towards kerb, then 1 pm - straighten up)...
  • and then gently brake to stop
  • secure handbrake, 
  • into neutral and 
  • switch off any indication you put on

It is an automatic process to an experienced driver, so supervisors need to reacquaint themselves with a process that has become second nature and done without conscious thought - if you are to be successful as a supervising driver of a learner - you have to recall the things that have become automatic to you to help them! 

If you interested in more support we have a package of short courses for parent supervisors which includes full video demos and key tips like the above and much more - which could save you time, money and stress - just  visit our website learn centre called Skill.Zone for parents on
