Familiarise yourself with various traffic directions, speed limit signs overhead and how to merge when the lane you are driving is changing into an opposite direction of the traffic. Especially in the morning when there is more traffic towards the City, the number of lanes towards the City is increased by closing a lane in the opposite direction from the City. This is vice versa just after office hours. There are other types of lanes like the Transit lanes, overtaking lanes, turning lanes, bike lanes, bus lanes that have different rules. You will learn to drive on these lanes with our intensive Refresher Driving Course.

N – Neutral.
D – Drive/ Driving.

In an automatic car, to drive from Point A to Point B, you do not have to change gear after selection “D”. The automatic transmission system senses when it is necessary to change gear and does it automatically without the need for you to use a clutch pedal or a gear stick.
