Be ready before it happens

The situations that scare drivers most are all trainable. Here is what to do, calmly, in each one.

Read these before you drive, never while driving. DrivingSchooool will never prompt you to interact with your phone behind the wheel.

  • Keep a two-second gap in the dry, four in the wet, more behind trucks.
  • Scan twelve seconds ahead, not just the bumper in front.
  • Always have an escape path — never box yourself in beside a lorry.
  • Assume you are invisible at every junction until eye contact says otherwise.
