Objectives of Lesson 7
In the seventh EDT lesson, your ADI will make sure that you can drive with proper care and focus to the road and traffic status. This will include taking appropriate measures to identify potential hazards.
Minimum Coverage of Lesson 7
In this lesson, you must drive under varying road conditions such as junctions and streets with parked cars.
In addition, you will also drive on streets with significant number of pedestrians so your interaction with them becomes substantial. This will allow you to give way to other road users specifically how and when to do it. Your ADI should instruct you to deal with any emergency vehicles whenever necessary.
Expected Results for Lesson 7
By the end of Lesson 7, you are expected to demonstrate how to safely enter, cross and join roads. You are also expected to know how to safely park on roads where other road users are present. Once you complete the lesson, you should be able to pass along stationary and slow moving vehicles, cyclists or other users with the highest degree of safety and responsibility possible. You should be able to give way to other users wherever and whenever necessary as well as deal with emergency vehicles.
