Start  Unable to Locate / Adjust / Operate Safety Devices  \nAn applicant for a driver’s licence is expected to know the location, function and how to adjust and operate the Safety Devices. They are generally listed as:  \n1) Windshield wiper switch  \n2) Horn  \n3) Lightsand dimmer switches  \n4) Turn signal switch   \n5) Ignition switch   \n6) Defroster switch   \n7) Sun visors  \nThe examiner should ask the applicant to prove his/her knowledge of the location and operation of these items. Although inability to locate or operate any or all of these items carries only one minor error value, it may also indicate a lack of knowledge of other things.  \nFails to observe – Uses Mirror Only  \nAsa general rule, the applicant should first check to see if traffic conditions will allow the vehicle to move safely. This should be done by turning the head to ensure the intended movement will not conflict with other traffic. Use of mirrors should also be made but only to assist in the observing action. The examiner’s responsibility is to let the applicant decide when the way is clear; do not try to rush an applicant into heavy traffic.  \nFails to Signal / Improper Signal  \nThe Highway Traffic Act requires a driver to signal all changers of direction, when other traffic is likely to be affected.  \nElectric turn signals are usually better than hand signals because they allow the driver to keep both hands free for steering. However, in the case ofa car preparing to leave the left electric signal may not be seen by traffic approaching from the rear. This isone occasion when a hand signal, clearly given, provides better information for other drivers.  \nG1–Exit Road Test  \n2. Backing  \nThe time to discontinue the hand signal would depend on all traffic conditions at the time. It should be emphasized that signals indicate intention only. They do not confer any right to the signaller who should not carry out any movement until he/she is satisfied that he/she can do so safely.  \nIncorrect Use Of: Clutch / Brake / Accelerator / Gears /  \nSteering  \nGood co-ordination of thought and the use of hands and feet are essential for smooth correct operation of these devices. Inability to operate them will result in error being recorded.  \nSmooth position steering is one of the things the examiner will be looking for during the test. To accomplish this both hands should be on the steering wheel. Different experts advocate different positions. Some say the hands should be at 10 and 2 as on the clockface, others say 9 and 3, 11 and 5 or 8 and 4. The examiners accept all of these positions and expect the applicant to grasp the wheel with one hand on each side of the wheel with not less than 1/3 of the wheel between the hands. The examiners score if the hands are too close together, grasping the steering wheel spokes or if only one hand is used.  \nFails to Look Around / to Rear Before / While Backing – Mirror only  \nThis item requires that the applicant look repeatedly and in several directions to meet the needs of the various requirements of the backing manoeuvre. The examiner must also be watching traffic and assessing the effect its movement will have on the applicant throughout the entire backing manoeuvre.  \nTurnabout: Control / Steering Method / Observation / Vehicle Position  \nGenerally speaking this manoeuvre is done only on off– street testing areas. It isa simple test of ability to turn the vehicle in a limited space. The manoeuvre is also known either asa broken ‘U’turn or asa 3 point turn.  \nG1–Exit Road Test  \n3. Driving Along  \nUsually the examiner will ask the applicant to stop the vehicle in a suitable position and direct the applicant to turn the vehicle around. From then until completion of the manoeuvre the applicant should perform without further instructions.  \nIncorrect Use of: Clutch / Brake / Accelerator / Gears /  \nSteering  \nThe controlsand remarks in parking also apply when backing  \nFollows or Passes too Closely / Cuts i","cbCaib4tIeSFoC5K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib4tIeSFoC5K","pdf",203551,18,"English","# G1-Exit Road Test\n## Start: Safety Devices\n## Fails to Observe: Mirror Only\n## Fails to Signal / Improper Signal\n## Backing\n## Incorrect Use of Controls and Smooth Steering\n## Fails to Look Around While Backing\n## Turnabout: Control and Observation\n## Driving Along\n## Following/Passing Too Closely\n## Improper Choice of Lane and Blind Spot Checks\n## Lane Change Signal Errors","[{\"question\":\"What safety devices must an applicant know how to locate and operate?\",\"answer\":\"The test expects knowledge of where and how to adjust and operate safety devices such as the windshield wiper switch, horn, lights and dimmer switches, turn signal switch, ignition switch, defroster switch, and sun visors.\"},{\"question\":\"When should mirrors be used during observation and backing?\",\"answer\":\"Mirrors should support the observing action, not replace proper head checks.
