## driving tip 

If you are worried about your English, here are some words to help you practise hazard perception: 

• car 

• bus 

• too close 

• pedestrian 

• bump 

• can’t see 

• bicyclist 

• children 

• animal 

• construction 

• truck 

• wet road 

• curve 

• warning sign 

• dangerous driver 

• rough pavement 

• turning right 

• hill 

• pulling out 

• ice 

• blind spot 

• motorcyclist 

• snow 

• turning left. 

If you see a hazard you don’t know the English word for, you may point at it. 

Here are some suggestions to help you get ready for your Class 7 and Class 5 road tests: 

• Use Tuning up for drivers . It’s designed to help you prepare for your road tests. It gives step-by-step instructions for each of the manoeuvres. If you are preparing for the Class 7 road test, work through the Tuning up  lessons with your supervisor. You don’t require a supervisor when preparing for the Class 5 road test, but it’s still a good idea to work with a friend or family member. 

• Practise hazard perception by naming the hazards out loud. Ask your supervisor to identify any hazards you missed. 

• For both the road tests you need to know the signs, signals, rules and regulations. Review the previous chapters of this guide to make sure you are familiar with them. 

• Think about taking driving lessons. For more information, see the Choosing a driving school  section later in this chapter. 

• Take time to get plenty of practice. You should plan on getting at least 60 hours of practice to prepare for your Class 7 road test.
