Unofficial revision note: This page is a preparation aid. Always follow official material and your course provider's instructions.

Awareness

Look beyond the car directly ahead. Anticipate flags, slow cars, incidents and changing grip.

Control

Avoid abrupt inputs when the car is unsettled or the surface is uncertain.

Communication

Flags, boards and marshal signals are part of the driving environment. Treat them as instructions.

Practise this topic

The fastest way to improve is to apply the topic in questions and scenarios. Use the trainer to practise, then come back to the guide if an explanation is unclear.
