8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Road signs, signals and road markings

  • Classify every sign type in the Kiribati manual into regulatory, warning, and guide groups, and state the required driver action for each type

  • Explain the difference between a stop line, a give-way line, and a dashed edge line, and describe what each requires at a junction

  • Recite the meaning of the standard traffic light phases including flashing amber and arrow signals

  • Build a personal flashcard set covering at least 40 signs and markings, with the action written in your own words

Your checkpoint

A handwritten or digital sign-and-marking deck of 40+ cards, self-tested once with a score recorded

Week 2

Road signs, signals and road markings & Right-of-way and intersection rules

  • Apply the give-way and stop rules to uncontrolled T-junctions and crossroads by working through 15 written scenarios

  • Rank who proceeds first in scenarios mixing cars, bicycles, and pedestrians at a marked crossing

  • Describe the correct procedure for turning right across oncoming traffic at an intersection

  • List the situations where you must yield even though you have no sign against you

  • Identify the roundabout entry and exit rules and state who has priority once circulating

Your checkpoint

A one-page right-of-way decision sheet with 10 worked scenarios and the correct order of movement for each

Week 3

Right-of-way and intersection rules & Speed limits and safe following distance

  • State the urban and rural speed limits and the rule for driving to conditions below the posted limit

  • Calculate the two-second following gap at 40 km/h and 60 km/h and convert each into a distance in metres

  • Explain how wet roads and reduced visibility change the safe following gap and stopping distance

  • Solve 10 stopping-distance and gap problems using the two-second and three-second rules

  • Describe the correct action when an emergency vehicle approaches with lights and siren at an intersection

Your checkpoint

A completed worksheet of 10 speed, gap, and stopping-distance problems with workings shown

Week 4

Overtaking, lane use and turning

  • List the conditions that make overtaking unsafe and state the markings that forbid it

  • Describe the correct lane position before, during, and after a right turn and a left turn

  • Explain when you may cross a solid centre line and when you may not

  • Sequence the mirror-signal-manoeuvre routine for a lane change on a multi-lane road

  • Identify the blind spots around a truck or bus and state where not to sit when it turns

Your checkpoint

A completed pre-drive inspection checklist with 10 items and a signed note on fitness-to-drive rules

Week 6

Vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists & Hazard awareness and defensive driving

  • Describe the correct response to a pedestrian stepping out unexpectedly and to a child near the road edge

  • Explain the passing distance to give cyclists and motorcyclists and why it matters

  • Identify the five most common crash causes and match a defensive action to each one

  • Apply the hazard-perception routine of scan, predict, decide, act to 10 described hazards

  • Describe how to handle a tailgater, a sudden brake ahead, and an oncoming vehicle drifting into your lane

Your checkpoint

A hazard-response log of 10 scenarios, each with the hazard spotted, the prediction made, and the action taken

Week 7

Local conditions: narrow causeways, flooding, coastal and island roads & Hazard awareness and defensive driving

  • Describe how to drive safely on a narrow causeway when meeting oncoming traffic

  • Explain the risks of flooded sections, salt water on the road surface, and soft shoulders, and state the correct response to each

  • List the hazards specific to coastal roads, including sand drift, waves over the road, and poor visibility in spray

  • Describe how to adjust speed and gap when the road surface is wet, sandy, or broken

  • Plan the safe response to a breakdown on a narrow coastal road with no shoulder
