The cockpit drill, also known as the DSSSM routine (Doors, Seat, Steering, Seatbelt, and Mirrors), is a standard procedure that drivers should follow before starting the engine. It helps ensure safety and comfort while driving.
During a driving test, performing the cockpit drill correctly demonstrates your knowledge and understanding of essential safety procedures. Let's go through each step of the cockpit drill:
DOORS: Check that all doors of the vehicle are closed properly. Ensure that the front, rear doors and tailgate are securely closed before moving the vehicle.
Seat: Adjust your seat to a comfortable driving position. Ensure that you can reach all controls easily and that you have a clear view of the road there must be a slight bend in your leg when the clutch pedal is fully down..
Steering: Adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable position. Typically, the steering wheel should be within easy reach, and your hands should be able to rest on it comfortably while maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
Seatbelt: Fasten your seatbelt securely. Ensure that the seatbelt fits properly across your chest and pelvis, providing maximum protection in case of an accident. Passengers should also fasten their seatbelts before starting the journey. There should been no twist in the seat belt.
Mirrors: Adjust all mirrors to ensure good visibility. The three main mirrors to check are the rearview mirror, and the side mirrors. Ensure that you have a clear view of the road from each mirror and adjust them as necessary.
By following these steps and demonstrating your familiarity with the cockpit drill during a driving test, you can show the examiner that you prioritize safety and are aware of the essential routines before starting the engine. Remember to always perform the cockpit drill before every journey to ensure a safe and comfortable driving experience.
