3. MOBILE PHONES
There are now specific rules surrounding the use of mobile phones and GPS while driving. Do you know the law? Whilst driving you can only use a mobile phone to make or receive a phone call if the phone is secured in a mounting or can be operated without touching it. (e.g. using voice activation, a Bluetooth hands-free car kit, ear piece or headset). Whilst driving, it is illegal to create, send or look at a text message, video message, email or similar communication, even when the phone is secured in a mounting or can be operated without touching it. The GPS function of a phone may be used by a driver whilst driving if it is secured in a mounting and no touch of the keypad or screen is required.
Penalties Using a hand held mobile phone whilst driving = 3 demerit points and $400 fine. Creating, sending or looking at a text message, video message, email or similar communication, whilst driving = 3 demerit points and $400 fine.

1. ROUNDABOUTS
Roundabouts help manage traffic flow and improve safety by slowing the speed of vehicles. Whether you’re turning left or right, going straight, or making a full-turn at a roundabout – here’s what you need to know: When entering a roundabout, always give way to any vehicles already in the roundabout. On multi-lane roundabouts, obey the directional arrows on the road. Turning left On approach, indicate left from the left lane. Stay in the left lane and exit the roundabout from this lane. Driving straight ahead You don’t need to indicate on approach. Enter in either the left or right lane, stay in and exit from the same lane. Indicate left when you’ve passed the last exit before the one you intend to use. Turning right or making a full turn On approach, indicate right from the right lane. Stay in the right lane and exit the roundabout from this lane. Indicate left when you’ve passed the last exit before the one you intend to use. You can change lanes within a roundabout, but you must indicate and give way to other vehicles.
Penalties Failing to give way at a roundabout = 3 demerit points and $150 fine. In multi-lane roundabout, failing to enter the roundabout in the correct lane for exiting = $100 fine. All other offences for not using a roundabout correctly = 2 demerit points and $100 fine.

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.

In your Log Book you will have to record at least 25 hours of your driving experience across a range of different driving conditions. The key is to do as many hours as you can in many different road,weather conditions, night time driving and freeways, this will give you the experience you will need once you are able to drive independently, the 25 hours is a minimum. During this phase “L” Plates must still be displayed.

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)
