“You will use the Prepare, Observe & Move Routine, every single time you drive. The routine, commonly known as the POM Routine, covers three stages of moving off.
– Prepare – Getting the car ready to move.
– Observe – Making sure that it’s safe to move off.
– Move – Controlling the car smoothly and safely as you move away.
The following three videos cover each stage of the POM Routine in detail.
– In Preparing the Car, we look at starting the engine, selecting the gear and getting ready to move.
– In Making Observations, we look at where you should look and why, and also consider the need for a signal.
– And in Moving Off, we look at smooth use of the controls and steering.”
