However, they should be able to actively manage the process of finding alternative support in these circumstances. where applicable, specify how parents, guardians, partners or carers can support learners with physical or cognitive disabilitiesthe way that different weather conditions affect their visibility, speed and stopping distance - they need to demonstrate that they can respond to these conditions safely If you made faults in this area during a test, or if you believe you need to improve in this area, you should: the learning resources available to support driver/rider learning in general and those with special needs in particular portrayal of high-risk attitudes that act as a barrier to safe and responsible driving or riding, where appropriate Once your teen is comfortable with the basic operation of the car, take your training to quiet streets where your teen can practice staying on one side of the road, anticipate cars exiting driveways and learn to pull up to a stop sign.
