In stage one, you started developing your skills in basic car controls and practised driving in quiet areas with no traffic.

In stage two, you’re going to apply your new skills on quiet, low-speed roads with other road users.

You’ll gradually develop a range of safe driving behaviours and skills in new situations and environments.

The key thing is to always go on drives that match your experience level, so you drive in low-risk through to more challenging situations over time.

Once you are ready, start to choose routes where you can develop your skills, without driving beyond your ability. 

It’s important early in this stage to talk with your supervising driver about how you’re going, so you only move on to new tasks when you’re ready.

Here’s what you and your supervising driver can do:

• Plan drives in places with quiet, low-speed roads and little traffic, with a range of intersections, such as roundabouts and T-intersections.
• Make the route of your first drive a rectangle with left turns only.
• Talk with your supervising driver about potential hazards to look out for before you drive.
• Have your supervising driver direct where you're going, so you can focus on obeying signs, managing speed, seeing potential hazards and car control.
• Keep practising all the skills you’ve learnt so far, including parking.
• Gradually increase the complexity of drives as you gain more experience and when you both agree you're ready.
• Talk with your supervising driver about how you're going at the end of each drive to check on your progress.
