How effective are your mirror observations while driving?

In this episode, Kev and Tracey talk about not using mirrors correctly when changing direction, one of the top ten reasons people fail their driving test.

While this information is important in relation to passing your driving test, it is also important to recognise that each of these reasons is also connected to accident statistics and becoming a safe driver on the road for as long as you hold a driving license.

We chat about:

• Occasions when you change direction
• How to use your mirrors
• Why it's important

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

• How effectively do you use your mirrors
• How do you know it's safe to change direction?
• What can you do to start improving your mirror observations?

The Ready to Pass campaign has been created to help ensure that you have prepared sufficiently for your driving test in response to the current pass rate, which has a 47% success rate.
