THE SYSTEM of VEHICLE CONTROL.
The NT's on-road driving test is based on the "System". What is it? How is it implemented in day-to-day driving?
DEFENSIVE DRIVING.
Defensive driving is driving in a manner to reduce as much as possible, the risk of crashing. This page outlines some basic tips to get you started.
ROUNDABOUTS.
Various roundabout types in the NT, the rules, giving way, how to signal correctly, signage etc.
DIVIDED ROADS.
There is usually some confusion as how to best position your vehicle when turning into & out of roads divided with a median strip.
SKIP SHIFTING.
Skip shifting is taught on the NT's DTAL logbook program. Nothing probably polarises opinion more than this gear-changing technique, so what is it and what are the pros & cons?
CRUISE CONTROLS.
Cruise Control is provided in many new cars these days, standard or as an option. They are great driver's aid but beware they can bite!
EFFECTIVE BRAKING.
Using the "3-stage braking" technique will allow smooth safe braking without your passengers clenching their cheeks and hanging on tightly!
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS (ABS).
ABS is starting to become standard fitment in most new cars these days. Does your ABS give you the "shortest possible stopping distance"?
