Driving lessons in Darwin NT Australia

These are A4-sized documents I have developed for use during my in-car training.
On the remote chance that some of them might be useful to other instructors I have put them up on my site for downloading.

The graphics-intensive pages were originally produced in CorelDraw12 but are published in Adobe PDF to make them generally available.
This means that any text or graphic element on a page can be easily deleted, edited, added to or changed (it's OK to insert your own business logo in lieu of mine, as long as the original copyright notice is retained).
(I would like my copyright notice retained as a form of recognition. Otherwise anyone is free to use these files in full or edited form. I'm happy to assist anyone in any changes they require).

ROAD DIAGRAMS & OTHER AIDS

Server space doesn't allow me to put up all my aids for direct download - I'm working on providing links for these to be viewed as thumbnails and ordered (free) via email.

I use these as a handout on lesson No.1, for the student to refer to (usually between lessons). There are notes on manual gear boxes & hydraulic torque-converter auto transmissions; a page showing some of the most commonly used symbols used to label switches controls & warning lights; and notes on how to use the aircon & heater to demist interior glass, the emphasis being on tropical conditions.
