Interpreting the Assessment Criteria on Form SC1 and Part 3 Exam
A guide to what might constitute a deviation from the norm, resulting in faults being recorded on the DL25 Driving test report form, therefore require attention on Standards Check or Part 3 test.
And finally...
Move off safely
Expected outcome/competence
The ability to move off smoothly and safely, on a gradient and at an angle. Taking the correct precautionary observations.
Potential deviations from expected outcomes
- No blind spot checks / incorrectly timed checks
- Moving away unsafely, blind spot check only over the left shoulder for normal stops and angle starts
- Following pull up on the right exercise – ineffective or no observations before moving off pulling away with the left signal on
Under control:
- Stalling
- Repeated stalling
- Moving off with the handbrake applied
- Rolling backwards when attempting to move off
- Not engaging a gear and attempting to move off
- Attempting to pull away in too high a gear
Examples of what might constitute something that would result in a fault being marked
Driving fault
Incorrect timing of the blind spot check when moving off with no risk to other road users. For example, checking the blind spot after the vehicle has moved off.
Serious fault
Moving off into the path of traffic or failing to take observation at all.
Dangerous fault
Any situation brought about by the above lack of observation, that resulted in actual danger to the examiner, candidate, the general public or property.
