C. WHAT IS THE RIGHT SITTING POSITION?

1. You should not be too close nor too far from the steering wheel, so
that in case of sudden stop, your chest will not slam into the steering
wheel. The distance of your chest from the steering wheel will depend
on the length of your hands; your wrists must rests on top of the
steering wheel when you extend your hands forward. Be sure that you
can fully press the clutch pedal.
2. Your left knee should not touch the steering wheel when releasing the
clutch pedal.
3. Headrest must be at level with the ear. It can help protect you from
whiplash and other injuries. For the best protection, adjust the top of
the restraint so it is even with the top of your ears, or as high as
possible.
 To raise it, pull upward.

INFORMATION SHEET No. 1
LO1. Prepare vehicle for driving
Safety measures in driving vehicle
Topic: What is defensive driving?
It is the “act of driving” while preventing accidents despite the wrong

actions of other road users aggravated by the existence of adverse driving
conditions. Being a defensive driver makes us adjust to different kinds of
situations that we may encounter on the road, thus keeping us safe while
driving.
A. Demonstration of an attitude, awareness and driving skill.
1. Attitude
a. Patience
b. Personality change
c. Understanding the risk and responsibilities
2. Awareness
a. Knowing traffic rules, regulations and complying
b. Driving concentrations
c. Alert reflexes
3. Driving skill
a. Good knowledge of the operation of the vehicle and its
controls
B. Proper attitude must always be practiced.
1. Patience is the number one virtue in driving. Sometimes patience

is tested by other road users are the tendency to get irritated or
angry is inevitable. Don‟t! Let it go.
2. Personality change in driving. We notice that people tend to change
their personality once they are at the driver‟s seat.
3. Understanding the risk and responsibilities in driving is important.
First the risk, we must understand that every time you drive, you
put yourself in harm‟s way. Second the responsibilities, we must
never drive carelessly. Being safe is not only for us drivers but also
for other road users. We must remember that a vehicle is a deadly
weapon and every time it moves, it can hurt or much worst, kill
another human being.
The three moral obligations of being a defensive driver are:
 To protect your passengers and yourself

14
 To protect pedestrians
 To protect other motorists
C. Physical and Mental Requirements of a driver:
 Attitude
 Behavior
 Right mental attitude
 Keys to effective defensive driving
ATTITUDE
The initial step to fully eliminate bad driving habits is to first

recognize them.
Attitude: Bad driving traits

-lack of the sense of responsibility
-selfishness/lack of consideration to others
-lack of concern for their own or other people‟s property
-recklessness
-desire to excel
-an inferiority or superiority complex
-an attitude of invincibility
A defensive driver must develop and demonstrate an attitude that:
 Shows concern for other road users

 Recognizes that other users will make mistakes
 Knows that no journey is so urgent that a safe speed can not be
achieved
 Driving is a skill which requires the application of good techniques
 Believes that to be safe driver, it requires having an alert mind at
all times
Avoid provoking behaviors:
 Gestures – obscene offensive gestures irritate other drivers. Do not

stare back at any aggressive driver.
 Cell phones/car phones – cell phone or car phone users are
perceived to be poor drivers and considered as traffic hazards.
 Bumper stickers – refrain from displaying bumper stickers, slogans
or variety license plates that may be considered offensive.
 Eye contact – if another motorist tries to initiate a fight, do not
make eye contact with him. Get out of the way without
acknowledging the aggressor.
15
 Aggressive tailgating – riding the bumper of the vehicle in front of
you is both annoying and unsafe.
 Incessant or Continuous horn and headlight use – leaning on the
horn and flashing the headlights to express anger is aggravating
and rude.
 Use of car or cd players – avoid excessive loudness when playing
your radio or cd player.
 Avoid swearing or cursing at any driver
 Do not retaliate
 Do not revolution your engine to show anger.
 Do not stop in the middle of the road to talk to anybody.
 Do not chase any reckless driver
 Do not underestimate anyone‟s capacity for road rage or violence.
 Avoid all conflicts. If challenged, take a deep breath and get out of
the way, even if you are right.
Right Mental Attitude
Follow the SIPDE rule
S-search the road ahead, around and the rear of vehicle

I-identify hazards on the road
P-predict to anticipate and prepare
D-decide on what to do to avoid an unsafe situation
E-execute with the correct and proper maneuver
Keys to effective defensive driving

 Concentration only to the task of driving. Avoid doing other things
not related to driving. As humans, we tend to easily get distracted.
Kinds of distractions:
MADE- made distractions using cell phones, under the influence of
drugs and/or alcohol, smoking, chatting, changing radio
stations/tapes/discs, etc.
Physiological distractions standard of vision, hearing, health and

emotions have bearing on the amount of concentration.

LO 2: Move and position vehicle
Principles of driving and techniques
NAME AND USES OF PEDALS
Topic 1. Manual Transmission
Proper stepping on pedals (see illustration)
Clutch Brake Gas
Note: Only the left foot controls the clutch pedal.
2. Vocabulary:
 Clutch – is used to engage and disengage the gear/s of the

transmission.
Uses:
1. Starting – to move the car by releasing the left foot slowly up
to its “working level”.
2. Stopping – used together with the brake so as to avoid
engine shut off.
3. Shifting – changing of gears either lower to higher (gear 1-
gear 5 or reverse) or higher to lower.
 Brake – is used to slow down or completely stop the car by using

your right foot to apply pressure to the brake pedal.
Kinds:
Hand break - is used for emergency stopping or parking.
Note: Use only your right hand. Press the button and lift to release.
Foot Brake - commonly used for stopping or slowing down.
Uses:
1. Half brake – used for slowing, no clutch is used.
2. Full brake – used for stopping completely with use of clutch.
27
Note: Half braking is making the brake bite.
2. Automatic Transmission
Proper stepping on pedals (see illustration)
 Gas pedal – is used mainly for increasing and decreasing the speed
of the car.
 Brake – is used to slow down or completely stop the car by using
your right foot to apply pressure to the brake pedal.
Note: Use right foot only, left foot stays on the footrest.
A. Use of Mirrors, Signal Lights and Horn
Different mirrors seen inside and outside the car.
a) Left side mirror – used for left turning, overtaking and changing
lanes to left, garage parking and backing.
b) Right side mirror – used for right turning, changing lanes to right,
garage parking and backing.
c) Rearview mirror – used to glance at the back for the car to check if
you are free to overtake and when driving backward, garage parking
and backing.
Note: If there are corners unseen or “blind spots”, you have to turn your
head as far as you can, to see if there are incoming vehicles and execute
a hand signal before moving.
 Glance at your mirrors every new and then.

 Keep your eyes moving always. Stay alert and awake.
 Some cars are equipped with power mirror adjusters.
 Rearview mirror has a tab used for day and night driving
adjustment.
B. Signal light lever - This could be seen at the left side of the steering
wheel.
 Down signal – If you want to make a left turn or change lanes to
the left just push the lever down.
 Up signal – If you want to make a right turn or change lanes to the

right just push the level up.
Note: Signal at least 10 cars length/30 m for the city driving and 30
cars length/90m for highway driving.
28
If the light signals are not functioning, another alternative is to use

hand signals with caution.
 Extending the left hand straight (sideways) outside the vehicle

means the driver is going to make a left turn.
 The left hand points downward means the driver is either slowing
down or stopping.
 The left hand points upward means the driver is going to make a
right turn.
C. Horn – is a part of the vehicle that produces audible sound by

pressing the horn control at the steering wheel to attract and
forearm other road users.
Note: Places that prohibit the use of horns are: Hospitals, Churches,
and Schools. Areas where “No blowing of Horns” signs are displayed.
D. Clutch Pedal – When pressing the releasing, the heel should hang
away from the floor. Controlling the pedal should be done by the
whole leg. (left foot only)
E. Brake and Gas Pedal – These are sensitive pedals, the heels
should rest onto the floor and control these two pedals by heel action.
(right foor only)
