The System

The Police Systemof Vehicle Control

IPSGA is the cornerstone of advanced driving and riding. This systematic approach to hazards — developed by police driving schools — gives you a structured method to deal with every situation on the road safely, smoothly and efficiently.

Each phase is considered on the approach to every hazard. Our Tutors will guide you through mastering this system until it becomes second nature.

IPSGA
Applied to every hazard
I

Information

Take, use and give information about the road situation. Use your mirrors, signals and position to communicate.

What can you see? What can't you see? What can reasonably be expected to happen?

P

Position

Position your vehicle to maximise safety, stability and visibility for the next phase of driving.

The correct road position gives you the best view and keeps you safe.

S

Speed

Adjust speed as necessary for the hazard. The right speed at the right time — no more, no less.

Use the brakes or acceleration sense to reach the appropriate speed for the hazard.

G

Gear

Select the appropriate gear for the speed and conditions. The right gear provides the right control.

Engage the correct gear to match your speed before reaching the hazard.

A

Acceleration

Apply appropriate acceleration to leave the hazard behind safely and smoothly.

Controlled acceleration stabilises the vehicle and moves you away from danger.
