32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Solid white centre line
- A continuous line that forbids crossing or overtaking for traffic on that side. You must stay in your lane until the line becomes broken or the restriction ends.
- Give way sign
- A downward-pointing triangle requiring you to slow down and yield to traffic on the priority road. Stop only if necessary, but be ready to stop.
- Two-second rule
- A following-distance rule: at least two seconds should pass between the vehicle ahead reaching a fixed point and your vehicle reaching it. Double it in rain or darkness.
- Right-hand priority
- At an uncontrolled intersection, the vehicle approaching from the right has priority. Slow down and be prepared to stop rather than assume you were seen.
- Aquaplaning response
- When water lifts the tyres off the road, ease off the accelerator, hold the steering steady, and avoid hard braking until grip returns. Sudden inputs cause a spin.
- Blind spot check
- Looking over the shoulder into the area not covered by mirrors before changing lane. It is the step most often skipped and a common cause of side-swipe collisions.
- ABS braking technique
- With anti-lock brakes, press the pedal firmly and continuously while steering. Do not pump the pedal; the system modulates pressure to prevent wheel lock.
- Engine braking
- Selecting a lower gear so engine compression slows the vehicle. It reduces brake fade on long descents, where brakes alone can overheat and fail.
- Driving outside licence class
- Driving a vehicle type not covered by your licence endorsement, such as a heavy vehicle on a light-vehicle licence, is treated as unlicensed driving for that vehicle.
- Duty after a collision
- Stop, secure the scene, check for injuries, exchange details, and report to police where required. Leaving the scene is a serious offence.
- Recovery position
- Placing an unconscious but breathing casualty on their side to keep the airway clear and prevent choking. Do not use it for a casualty who is not breathing.
- CPR compression rate
- Chest compressions at 100 to 120 per minute, about 5 to 6 centimetres deep in the centre of the chest, for a casualty who is unresponsive and not breathing normally.
- Speed and pedestrian survival
- A struck pedestrian's chance of survival falls steeply above about 50 km/h. Speed choice is therefore a direct life-and-death decision, not a preference.
- Hand signal: turning left
- Right arm bent upward at the elbow with the hand raised. The straight-arm signal means turning right; the downward palm means slowing or stopping.
- Hazard warning lights
- Flashing indicators on all four corners warning that the vehicle is a temporary obstruction or in difficulty. They must not be used as a parking permit.
- Parking on a hill
- Turn the front wheels toward the kerb when facing downhill and away when facing uphill, and apply the parking brake before releasing the foot brake.
- Box junction rule
- A yellow criss-cross box must not be entered unless your exit is clear. Stopping inside it blocks crossing traffic and is an offence.
- Pre-journey check items
- Tyres and pressures, lights, brakes, fluid levels, mirrors, and fuel. A fault found at the roadside could have been found before departure.
- Helmet fastening
- A helmet must be the correct size and fastened. A loose or unfastened helmet comes off in a collision and gives almost no protection.
- Smith System
- A defensive driving method: aim high in steering, get the big picture, keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out, and make sure others see you.
- Stop sign rule
- A red octagon requires a complete stop at the line and a check both ways before proceeding, even when the road appears clear.
- Threshold braking
- Maximum braking just short of wheel lock. With ABS, press hard and let the system modulate while you steer around the hazard.
- Tyre blowout response
- Hold the wheel firmly, ease off the accelerator, and let the vehicle slow before braking gently. Hard braking on the blown tyre can cause a spin.
- Zebra crossing duty
- A driver must give way to a pedestrian already on the crossing and must not stop on the stripes. Approach ready to stop, not to beat the pedestrian.
- Learner permit conditions
- A learner must hold a valid permit and drive only under its conditions, including required supervision and vehicle marking. Driving outside them is an offence.
- Stop line
- A solid white line across your lane at a junction. Stop before it, never on it or beyond it into the pedestrian area.
- Fog headlight choice
- Use low beam or fog lights in fog, not high beam. High beam reflects off water droplets and reduces visibility, so speed must match the visible distance.
- Load security duty
- Every load must be secured so it cannot shift or fall. A load falling from a vehicle is the driver's responsibility and a serious hazard to following traffic.
- Fatigue warning signs
- Yawning, heavy eyelids, drifting within the lane, and missing exits mean stop and rest. Coffee and cold air do not restore alertness.
- Collision reporting duty
- Report a collision involving injury, death, or significant damage to police without delay, exchange details, and inform your insurer promptly.
- Severe bleeding control
- Apply firm direct pressure with a clean cloth and keep pressing. Do not lift the cloth to check; add another layer if it soaks through.
- Burn first aid
- Cool the burn with clean running water for at least ten minutes, remove jewellery and loose clothing, and do not apply ointments, ice, or traditional remedies.
