What is the objective for Session 12?

During this session your ADI should make sure that you can:

• use your vehicle lighting correctly; and
• respond correctly to the lights of other road users.

You should also be able to maintain full control of the vehicle while:

• driving through traffic in the dark; or
• in poor lighting conditions.

What is the minimum this first session should cover?

This session should take place after dark. Your ADI should ask you to drive in a variety of road conditions, including urban and rural roads. You should have significant interaction with other road users.

Expected outcomes: what should I expect by the end of Session 12?

At the end of this session, you should be able to:

• drive safely in the dark;
• drive safely where road lighting is poor; and
• describe the symptoms of poor night vision and how to deal with it.

You should also be able to show you know:

• how to use your vehicle’s lighting correctly; and
• the appropriate response to other vehicle lighting, including emergency vehicle lighting.

In the event that I have not completed all 12 sessions, how should I prepare for my next session?

To achieve the expected outcomes from your next session, you should have:

• completed Session 1 to Session 8 and Session 12.

You should discuss your sessions with your ADI and based on their advice, you may also have completed some or all of Sessions 9, 10 and 11. This is because Sessions 9 to 12 can be taken in any order.

Before you do your next session, you should ask your ADI for advice on the relevant study material, practice, and/or driving sessions.
