The cockpit drill is a routine that is designed to maintain your control over the car.  If the cockpit drill elements are incorrectly or not adjusted it can make observations difficult, or impede your use of the pedals.  So it is essential.  For other free resources and information see our web and you tube sites:

 Exciting new resources are about to be launched by Drive Hart in support of parents check out our website 

The routine is designed to be done in sequence so that mirrors are done last - ensuring that after you have adjusted everything you can see out of your mirrors.

Sequence is important:  D.H.S.S.S.M

  • Doors - are they all secure shut (including the boot)
  • Handbrake - is it on so you dont roll back whilst preparing to set off
  • Seat Adjustments - all done so you can reach pedals (slight bend in knee) and also check the Head Restraint
  • Steering Wheel - so when you reach forwards your wrists touch top of wheel and you can see the dials (remember steering wheels adjust up and down as well further away or nearer)
  • Seat Belt - not twisted and secure
  • Mirrors - lastly check all interior and exterior mirrors.
