The Importance of MSPSL

MSPSL (Mirrors, Signal, Position, Speed, Look) isn’t just another routine; it’s the backbone of safe driving and the foundation of everything we teach as instructors. Yet, many learners (and sometimes instructors) don’t apply it effectively, leading to repeated errors and weaker driving habits.

In this workshop, Kathy Higgins will take you step by step through how to make MSPSL clear, consistent, and second nature for you and your pupils.

What You’ll Explore

• Common MSPSL errors - what learners often get wrong and how to fix them.
• Skill levels - what’s expected at each stage of learning.
• Bringing it all together - making MSPSL flow naturally in every lesson.
• Practical coaching tools - ways to reinforce MSPSL without overwhelming learners.

Who’s It For?
