 | | Furthermore, since each manoeuvre involves different amounts of steering, observation, speed control, not to mention the vast number of external circumstances under which any response might be effective, it would be unwise to assume that practising left turns at a roundabout directly improves one's ability to overtake a slowly moving milk float. |
 | | Secondly, because manoeuvres differ from each other, and, with the possible exception of following a straight road, identical manoeuvres do not follow each other immediately, opportunities to practice different manoeuvres are dispersed, or distributed over the time the pupil spends learning, rather than being concentrated in one particular part of the course of lessons. |
 | | What the foregoing analysis of the numbers of manoeuvres drivers undertake when learning to drive shows is that, within a regime of purely formal instruction, drivers are very unlikely to repeat manoeuvres sufficiently to achieve an adequately high and stable level of performance. |
