RAMP and MSPSL - secrets for passing test


Following on from yesterday's tip - let's look at how the examiner's are taught. Ok so there's a junction coming up and we are going to turn right - this is what the examiner thinks: RAMP = (check) Road Ahead, (check) Mirror, (eyes on) Pupil and says "at the road ahead please turn right". The examiner then checks if the pupil follows MSPSL. Mirrors - are pupil's eyes looking into internal and right mirrors? Signal - is pupil's finger applying right signal at the correct time? Position - are we steering to just left of centre? Speed - are we slowing down to correct speed for junction, correct gear too? Look - is pupil looking ahead and right? And finally is the pupil's decision a good one i.e. to go or stop?
So every time the examiner says " at the ..... ahead please turn ......" - you should kick off your MSPSL procedure - this is the correct way to deal with ALL hazards anyway and if you apply it correctly, you will have a better than average chance in your test.
