The Freeway or Highway Driver Training Course provided by our Ottawa Driving School is designed for experienced drivers who require a refresher or additional training in:
Following distance
One of the essential aspects of safe and efficient driving on highways and freeways is following distance. Our expert instructors will teach you how to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, taking into account factors such as speed, traffic conditions, and road surface. By mastering this crucial skill, you’ll reduce your risk of involvement in a collision and enhance your overall driving experience.
Entrance to freeway
Entering the freeway or highway can be intimidating, especially if you’re new to these types of roads. Our course covers the best practices for merging onto the freeway, including how to match your speed to traffic, use your turn signals appropriately, and yield to other drivers. You’ll learn how to enter the freeway smoothly and safely, minimizing the risks associated with entering high-speed traffic.
Exiting on the freeway
Just as important as entering the freeway is exiting safely. Our instructors will demonstrate the proper procedures for exiting the freeway, including how to signal early, slow down gradually, and easily negotiate the off-ramp. You’ll gain the confidence and skills necessary to exit the freeway securely, avoiding potential hazards and obstacles.
Changing lanes
Changing lanes on the freeway or highway can be treacherous, especially when other drivers are involved. Our course covers the safest methods for checking your blind spots, signaling your intentions, and executing lane changes seamlessly. By mastering this technique, you’ll reduce your risk of collisions and improve your overall driving performance.
Rules and regulations of the freeway
The highway and freeway driving has its unique set of rules and regulations, which are essential to understanding and following to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. Our course covers all the relevant laws and guidelines, including speed limits, passing protocols, and right-of-way rules. By familiarizing yourself with these regulations, you’ll become a more responsible and aware driver.
Perpendicular parking
While not exclusively focused on parking, perpendicular parking is an essential skill for many driving situations. Our course covers the proper techniques for parking in tight spaces, including how to estimate distances, align your vehicle correctly, and use your mirrors and cameras effectively. With this knowledge, you’ll feel more confident when faced with parallel or perpendicular parking challenges.
Accelerating and emergency braking, and defensive driving.
Lastly, our course addresses two critical aspects of safe driving: accelerating and emergency braking. You’ll learn how to accelerate smoothly and gradually, as well as how to stop quickly and safely in emergency situations. Additionally, you’ll discover the principles of defensive driving, including how to anticipate potential hazards, react proactively, and stay alert at all times. By integrating these skills into your driving routine, you’ll significantly reduce your risk of accidents and near misses.
