SIGNAL IF NECESSARY - signals should be given to help other road users, to tell them of your intent. When moving off, if you see oncoming traffic or pedestrians, you must signal.

STALLING: If you stall the car try and keep calm. This isn't usually considered a serious fault. However, if you panic, restart the engine and drive off without checking your mirrors and blind spot, it will be.

COCKPIT DRILL: On your test remember to carry out the cockpit drill before you move off. This involves the following checks, to be done before you turn the key in the ignition.

Check that the boot and doors are correctly closed.
Adjust your seat & steering wheel to give the correct driving position.
Check that your head restraint is in the correct position.
Put on your seatbelt.
Check the handbrake is on.
Check your mirrors are properly adjusted.
Ensure the gear lever is in neutral.

On your driving test, when moving off, the examiner will expect you to:

Move off safely and under control on a level road, from behind a parked vehicle and on a gradient
Use the MSM routine
Check your blind spot for traffic and pedestrians
Make balanced use of the accelerator, clutch, brakes and steering
