Learn to drive

Learn to drive is a new subject and should be fun
When you want to learn to drive you should make it as interesting as possible for yourself. Negative thoughts applied to new learn to drive subject matter will restrict the amount of new information you absorb. Positive thoughts and great anticipation will help you absorb new information.

Learning to drive a car is a new subject. You need to know how to control your car. You need to know the rules of the road. You need to be able to hold your concentration for the length of time you are driving. Coming straight from work or college in a different state that is required to drive a car will mean you are not maximising your learning experience. Learn to drive a car safely and confidently and you will have a wonderfully independent lifestyle. A whole new world will open itself up to you. Learn to drive and you will be in total control of when and where you want to travel.

Learn the traffic light sequence first

Extracted from
Highway code traffic lights page
When you need to learn a new subject, break it down into small chunks and have some strategy that you have developed yourself.

By developing your own strategy for remembering new information you are more likely to make it work. I give my students tips, advice and ecouragement to develop their own techniques.
First learn the colours of a traffic light.
Look at traffic light number '1'
RED
next '2'
RED + AMBER
next '3'
GREEN,
next '4'
AMBER on its own
next back to '1'
RED.
Go over this sequence until you can answer any question given to you on the colour changes, before moving on to what the colours represent.

Do you know the colours?

Whe you look at your Highway code you will see written underneath the traffic light colours an explanation of each one. Read the explanations slowly and understand their meaning.

An easy way to remember the explanations is to say to yourself that all colours of the traffic lights means stop, except for the GREEN. Once you have grasped that you can move on to your driving technique and the practical way you deal with traffic lights.
After you have read the Highway code traffic lights section, see if you can answer this question:
