Moving off and stopping are the most repeated actions in every drive, yet they are among the most common places learners pick up faults. The examiner watches your very first move away from the test centre and every stop at the roadside.
Before moving off, prepare the car: press the clutch, select first gear, set the gas to around 1500 revs, and find the biting point. Keep your feet still. Now check all around: interior mirror, right door mirror, and a physical right shoulder check for your blind spot. Only when you are certain the road is clear should you signal and release the handbrake.
When stopping, choose a safe, legal, and convenient place. Avoid junctions, bus stops, driveways, and anywhere you would block traffic. Check your mirrors before braking: the driver behind needs warning. Signal left if anyone will benefit, steer gently towards the kerb, and stop smoothly with the car parallel to it. Apply the handbrake, select neutral, and cancel your signal.
Hill starts require more gas and quicker clutch control to prevent rolling back. Angle starts (moving out from behind a parked vehicle) need extra observation because your view is restricted. The principles are the same: prepare, observe, signal, move.
