Driving Lessons In Tyseley

Did you know you can touch the gear lever if you are unsure of what gear you are in? Some cars will tell you what gear you are in, and others don't. If in doubt, briefly touch the gear lever and based on its position, you should be able to identify what gear you are in without looking down.

When should you signal for parked cars? If you think another road user may benefit, then apply a signal. For example, driving down a busy street with several parked cars, you probably won’t need to use the signal. If you are driving down a higher-speed road and you see a car broken down, you may wish to signal to warn other road users of the incident and let them know you are changing direction slightly too.
