“Route planning can be an easy one to get caught up in – ultimately the Area is more important than the specific route.
An area may be suited to an early or later stage learner, depending on the amount of task demand it places the learner under.
To start off with, the roads you use will be straight in nature, leading onto some basic left and right turns. The area should be quiet, with little to no obstructions, to allow the learner to concentrate on the basics of driving.
From here, you simply add another “Building Block” to see how the can expand their knowledge from the known to the unknown.
A good example of this would be moving from a simple emerge within a quiet housing estate to an emerge onto a main road: the client knows their MSPSL routine and how to judge gaps in traffic, but can they do it with more task demand on them?”
