11.  CYCLISTS

Cyclists share the same rights and responsibilities as drivers and must obey the road rules. Cyclists are vulnerable road users, so for their safety extra precautions and awareness are required from both cyclists and drivers. Drivers: • When overtaking cyclists, it is recommended to do so at a distance of at least one metre; • Must give way to cyclists if crossing an on-road bicycle lane; • Before opening a car door, ensure there isn’t a bicycle rider in the way; • When turning left – if a cyclist is in front, allow them to pass before making a turn; • Must not enter the green bicycle boxes (at some intersections).
Cyclists: • Must wear a helmet that is properly fastened; • Must have at least one brake and a warning device (bell/horn) working; • Must use a front white light and rear red light which can be seen for 200m during the night and in conditions of poor visibility. A red rear reflector visible for 50m is also required; • Can ride two abreast (side-by-side) on the road, with up to 1.5m between riders; • Can’t ride less than 2m behind a vehicle; • Are not allowed to pass on left of a vehicle that is turning left; • Must give way to vehicles exiting a roundabout; • Should ensure visibility by wearing reflective or fluorescent clothing; • When travelling on the road, can be on the left of the edge line.

6. UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS
Navigating intersections without traffic signals, stop signs or give way signs is all about knowing who has the right of way. Here we shed light on how to correctly approach such intersections: As a rule, at an uncontrolled intersection, always give way to the right, to oncoming vehicles (including bicycles) and pedestrians. Specifically: • If going straight ahead – give way to vehicles on your right; • If turning left – give way to vehicles to the right and pedestrians crossing the road you’re entering; • If turning left using a slip lane – give way to vehicles on your right and pedestrians crossing the slip lane; • If turning right – give way to vehicles on your right, any oncoming vehicles/bicycles who are going straight ahead or turning left, and any pedestrians crossing the road you’re entering.

Penalties Travelling straight ahead OR turning left in a slip lane – failing to give way to vehicles to the right or pedestrians = 3 demerit points and $200 fine. Turning left or right – failing to give way to vehicles to the right or pedestrians = 3 demerit points and $300 fine.

Why Are Learner Drivers Failing?

Growing rate of learner drivers failing practical tests in WA

Learner drivers are failing practical tests at a rate of more than 150 a day.

WA learner drivers are failing practical tests at a rate of more than 150 a day.

Figures provided to The West Australian by the Department of Transport reveal a growing percentage of learners are failing assessments — with more than 57,500 unsuccessful across the State last year.

Last year’s failure rate of almost 55 per cent was up from 54 per cent in 2016, 52 per cent in 2015 and 44 per cent in 2013. Learner drivers in country WA are more successful than those in the city, with 41 per cent failing.

DoT driver and vehicle services general manger Steve Mitchinson said the most common reason for failure was being underprepared.

“The Department of Transport encourages learner driver candidates to get as much supervised driving on as many different roads, weather and traffic conditions as possible,” he said.

Many candidates want to sit their test as quickly as possible but are simply not ready.

“Other top reasons candidates fail include lack of knowledge about road rules, not fully stopping at the stop line or rolling through, speeding and failing to undertake physical head checks of vehicle blind spots.”

Supervised drivers must complete 50 hours of supervised driving before taking the practical test.

Mr Mitchinson said technology that tracked and recorded assessments through audio and GPS was aimed at improving testing. “It is intended that the data collected will help better inform future learner drivers of the areas of learning upon which to focus,” he said.

Parent Supervision Courses

All Zones Driving School is currently in the process of structuring a parent supervision course to assist them in providing teens with the important factors of road rules and safe driving practices.  This will primarily help reduce the costs but still provide the much needed  driving practice that is necessary for students to become safe drivers and successfully pass their practical driving assessment.

DRIVING COURSES

All Zones Driving School has introduced a Tandem Driving Lesson.

 

When learning to drive there are many components involved for a student to become a safe competent driver.  Passing the driving test is only a small part of the learning process.  Once on “P” Plates a student goes from being supervised to an unsupervised driver.  Currently “P” Plate drivers are statistically considered to be amongst the highest group to be involved in accidents.  Our aim with the Tandem Driving Lesson involves both a practical and theory element to a driving lesson.  Our instructors have found that when two students  are having a lesson: one student is the driver, the other student is in the back seat observing driving instructions, then we reverse the roles, the students retains far more information.

Whilst even on regular single lesson there are practical and theory elements, the observation elements during the Tandem Lessons have proven to be extremely beneficial.  This is not only a very productive way of teaching it is also very cost effective.

Costs

$80 for 90 minutes, two 45 minute lessons ($40 per person)
