Driving Instructional DVDs

Driving is the controlled operation of a vehicle, which is usually a motor vehicle such as a truck, bus, motorcycle, or car. For bicycles and mounted animals and— at least in the U.K., the U.S. and Canada, —motorcycles, the corresponding activity is called riding.

Driving includes knowing how to operate the mechanisms which control the speed and direction (which in technical terminology are both components of the velocity), and the braking of the vehicle, and especially includes knowing how to do both safely.

In terms of the basic physical tasks required, driving a motor vehicle generally involves:

Starting the vehicle's engine with the ignition system Setting the transmission to the correct gear Depressing the pedals with one's feet to accelerate and slow the vehicle (and if necessary, to change gears) Steering the vehicle's direction with the steering wheel Operating other important ancillary devices like the headlights and windshield wipers.

Watching the road conditions in all directions around the vehicle (including frequent checks behind the vehicle using mirrors) to monitor the relative location of other vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians .
