Starting to drive

Check your driver's license before moving off. If you do not have one for some reason, then use the editable blank drivers license template. To start driving, put the key in the ignition and start the car engine. If the car is in gear, you must first put it in neutral by depressing the clutch.

Make sure it is safe to enter the road, and notify other road users of your intention.

At this stage, perform three actions:

1) turn on your left turn signal;

2) Look in your rear-view mirrors;

3) let the approaching vehicles pass, and then start moving.

You should always start off strictly from the first gear, increasing it as the speed increases.
