- Day 2: Right of way. Intersections, pedestrians, crossings and roundabouts. Open the lesson.
- Day 3: Lanes and turns. Lane markings, turn lanes and passing. Open the lesson.
- Day 4: Hazards. Speed, space, weather and night driving. Open the lesson.
- Day 5: Sharing the road. Bikes, trucks, buses and emergency vehicles. Open the lesson.
- Day 6: Permits and parking. Permit rules, curb colors and hill parking. Open the lesson.
- Day 7: Mixed review. Take a mock exam, then practice what you missed. Choose a mock exam.
On Day 6, also read the parking and backing lesson. The night before your test, take one more mock exam, check what to bring and get a good night’s sleep.
