Part I (Classroom)
Introduction:
Classroom
· Explain about the course and what is expected of the Trainee.
· Find out how much experience the Trainee has “ Driving ” and what type of vehicles.
· Discuss Pre & Post Trips (65-41) and explain its purpose.
· Explain what type of vehicles the Trainee will be learning on. Class B Commercial Vehicles. (Introduce Vehicle) Right hand Drive.
· Explain The Basic Speed Law:
o VC 22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property. . (California Vehicl Code Book)
· Explain Eye-lead time:
o Eye lead time is distance measured in time (seconds). One good rule says you need at least one second for each 10 feet of vehicle length at speeds below 40 mph. At higher speeds, you must add one second for safety, For example, if you are driving a 40-foot vehicle, you should leave a minimum following distance of 4 seconds between you and the vehicle ahead. In a 60-foot rig, you will need 6 seconds. Over 40 mph, you would need 5 second...

...er heating the brakes causes brake “fade”. Stabbing the brakes will also deplete the airbrake system supply sooner.
Downhill Braking
· Use the transmission in conjunction with the brakes to maintain slow speed and bring the vehicle to a stop.
· Adjust your speed before starting your decent on a downhill grade.
· While braking on a downhill, you must start braking sooner.
· Be Aware of road conditions
· Descend down the hill the same speed as coming up
The right amount of friction is required for the brakes to stop the vehicle properly.
3 – point turns
· Three point turns should always be made to the right. If a 3 point turn cannot be made safely you must travel around the block, or wait until it is safe to do so.
· Be aware of your surrounding scan the mirrors before and while backing.
· Do not make a 3-point turn before checking your path of travel.

Undoubtedly, figuring out the timing of letting out the clutch and giving the car more gas can be the trickiest part of driving a stick shift. The clutch is found to the far right of the brake. When changing gears, the clutch must always be pushed to the floor with the left foot or immediately the car's gears will grind. The clutch must be slowly let out as more gas is given to the car. The timing of this process must be perfect to ensure a that the car will begin to slowly move forward. As for stopping, such as at a red light or a stop sign, begin by moving the gear shift to the neutral position.
6 Week Training Program For my GSCE Coursework I decided to perform a circuit-training programme for the sport of tennis. This durated for six weeks. I am already an experienced tennis player so this is to be taken into consideration with training procedures and results.
Preparation for the shift often begins while one is walking into the station, because the thorough inspection of the fire apparatus is primary for a dependable engineer. During a walk-around inspection one should be examining the fire apparatus for any defects or flaws that were not present the shift before. Engineers take pride in the fire apparatus and wear them as badges of honor. On approach to the truck note if there are fluid leaks of any kind: engine oil, transmission fluid, radiator fluid, and water. Good engineers treat the fire apparatus as if it were their own child; if anything is wrong with the fire apparatus it is time to go to the doctor or in this case the mechanic. The windshield of the vehicle must be clear and free of cracks or blemishes, for this is the vista of our response to emergencies. The doors to all compartments should all open and close pro...

Truck driving is a difficult job which requires great responsibility of transferring the goods from one place to other far place with proper safety. Genuine CDL training is required by every aspiring truck driver to attain essential skills as a professional driver. These training programs are meant not only help the students learn about the possible ways to handle and manage their trucks in most adverse traffic and weather conditions, but also, this training helps them to learn how to prevent any major loss of the goods during the transference.

...bit faster than normal. What should drivers do? Well, there is something we can do that would allow for us to be able to raise the speed limits. We can write to our local representatives and let them know the need for raising the speed limits. Provide good research and valuable information that will help them to make the best possible decision. Of course, we must obey the law until the speed limits are changed. God has commanded us to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. (Bible) This was used not only in the aspect of money but also in the aspect of all of Caesar’s laws. The urge is very real to want to break the law, but think about others before yourself. According to Terry Turner we need to think of the why before the how. Basically ask yourself, why do I need to speed? Then after careful consideration of all factors, decide how fast to drive your automobile.

I would first investigate what areas in which the trainee is struggling, i.e. vehicle safety, public relations questions, trusting the vehicle, memorizing information or testing. I would then speak to the trainee individually and address the concerns we are having in their progression with the training program. I would also investigate if the trainee has outside circumstances that prevent them from progressing, learning disability or personal issues (could just be having a bad day or week). I would then be speaking with them pointing them in areas to practice on. I would also speak with other trainers working with the current class to see if we could find a strong candidate to maybe be in the same vehicle as the struggling trainee or if they
braking system slow, so the riders don’t go into shock, but fast enough to be fully stopped before
According to Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) study in which speed limits were varied at 100 locations nationwide resulted "raising posted speed limits by as much as 15mph had little effect on the motorists' speed." The data actually indicates that accident rate reduced at sites where speed limits were raised. Traveling at high speeds saves time and gets you to your destination quicker and the traffic usually travels five to ten miles faster than the posted speed limit.
Imagine driving on I-75 as cars race by you at a blink of an eye. You are driving 60 miles per hour, the speed limit; they must be doing 100 miles per hour or more. This is not an illusion; this is the reality of driving on a highway. Believe it, it happens everyday. Cars race down the road at uncontrollable speeds that cause tickets, accidents, and sadly death. Speed limits are a must for traffic control, for safety in neighborhoods and for avoidance of collisions.
