The lesson plan includes an initial discussion with the learner to assess their needs, followed by a revision of previous topics. The core of the lesson focuses on demonstrating and practicing effective vision and steering skills, with an emphasis on understanding blind spots and safe gaps. The lesson concludes with a recap, identification of student strengths and areas for development, and a preview of the next lesson, which covers driving laws and legislation. The assignment references the Transport for NSW Road User Handbook to ensure alignment with official guidelines.
