Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Demonstrate applicable safe car driving rules and regulations to learner drivers
   • Relevant road rules and regulations for each car driving task are identified and clarified when driving with a learner driver
   • Road rules are explained and demonstrated to learner driver
2. Demonstrate low-risk car driving strategies to learner drivers
   • Proactive driving techniques that keep car driver at a low-risk level are demonstrated
   • Low-risk driving behaviours are demonstrated consistently
   • Vehicle operation and control skills and knowledge to minimise risks are explained and demonstrated to learner driver
3. Deliver training on safe car driving principles
   • Training objectives and methods are planned and documented
   • Training is conducted in a safe and accessible environment
   • Specific needs for training are identified and confirmed through observation and evaluation of learner driver capabilities
   • Information about safe car driving principles is made available to learner driver and is explained clearly to learner driver
   • Principles behind low-risk driving are explained clearly to learner driver
4. Monitor and maintain safe car driving behaviours of learner drivers
   • Unsafe driving behaviours are identified and constructive feedback is provided to learner driver
   • Legal ramifications of driving offences are explained clearly to learner driver
   • Importance of continuous effort and practise of low-risk driving is outlined
   • Learner driver safe car driving operation and control competence is reviewed
   • Various methods for encouraging learning are implemented to provide diverse approaches to meet learner driver individual needs
5. Evaluate learner drivers on their safe car driving competence
   • Evidence requirements are specified to show consistent achievement of learner driver safe car driving competence
   • Evaluation methods, processes and procedures are communicated clearly to learner driver and are applied consistently in accordance with relevant state/territory regulatory authority licence requirements
   • Learner driver safe driving competence is evaluated
   • Learner driver demonstration of safe car driving behaviours is recorded in accordance with workplace processes and procedures
6. Review evaluation of learner driver safe car driving competence
   • Processes to review evaluation of learner driver safe car driving behaviours are established and followed
   • Review activities are documented, findings are validated and review approach is evaluated
   • Feedback is provided to learner driver in relation to evaluation outcomes
   • Documentation is completed in accordance with workplace procedures

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

assessing risks and applying skills for crash avoidance and management while driving assisting learner drivers to develop lowrisk driving behaviours communicating effectively with others from all ages, educational backgrounds, diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences completing and maintaining documentation dealing with and adjusting to diverse driving environments delivering information about instructions, procedures and other information relevant to driving a vehicle demonstrating road positioning, speed and traffic management skills demonstrating slow speed manoeuvres demonstrating time and space management in a range of traffic situations to accommodate other road users engaging and motivating learner drivers guiding and controlling a vehicle while instructing a learner driver identifying hazards and human factors that may impact on driving situations and implementing responsive safe car driving practices implementing contingency plans implementing work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and practices when: conducting prestart-up checks anticipating and identifying hazards minimising, controlling or eliminating hazards observing and interpreting learner driver behaviour that may put people at risk locating and complying with appropriate legislative, regulatory and procedural requirements making correct response judgements maintaining personal skill development maintaining records of learner progress managing time effectively to: ensure all learning objectives are covered pace learning modifying activities depending on operational contingencies, risk situations and environments monitoring learner driver progress by: assessing learner driver interaction with others identifying learner driver concerns monitoring learner driver acquisition of new skills, knowledge and competency requirements recognising learner driver readiness to take on new skills and tasks monitoring vehicle performance and taking appropriate action as required negotiating complex traffic and road conditions obeying road rules, making safe decisions in stressful situations, and instructing learner drivers to take appropriate action observing and interpreting the driving behaviour of others reading and analysing learner driver information reading and following learning programs and plans recognising and interpreting road signs and signals, and implementing pertinent action to enable safe car driving reporting promptly and/or rectifying identified problems, faults or malfunctions responding appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace teaching, facilitating learning and demonstrating skills in the development of safe car driving behaviours, using a learner-centred approach using relevant state/territory driver licensing and testing standards using verbal and non-verbal communication techniques to: ask relevant and appropriate questions demonstrate skills listen provide explanations provide clear information working effectively with learner drivers by: establishing trust maintaining a calm demeanour maintaining appropriate relationships maintaining tolerance providing constructive feedback recognising and being sensitive to individual difference and diversity using appropriate body language working collaboratively with other road users when driving a vehicle.
