Phase 2 – Accompanied Driving & Hazard Strategy

Phase 2 of the PESR in Quebec marks your transition from theory to practice. It includes classroom modules and your first hands-on driving experience with a certified instructor.

⏱️ Minimum Duration

You must spend at least 28 days in Phase 2 before you can begin Phase 3. This duration allows time to complete both theory modules and all in-car sessions.

📚 Modules in Phase 2

• 6. Accompanied Driving
• 7. OEA Strategy (Observe – Evaluate – Act)

🚗 In-Car Driving Sessions

Phase 2 includes 4 mandatory driving lessons with your instructor. These sessions help you apply classroom concepts in real-world scenarios and gain supervised experience behind the wheel.

• In-Car Session 1
• In-Car Session 2
• In-Car Session 3
• In-Car Session 4

⚠️ Challenges to Expect

Many students struggle with:

• Booking all driving sessions in time due to limited availability
• Applying OEA strategies consistently in real traffic
• Nervousness during first in-car sessions — it's normal!

💡 Tips for Success

• Book all 4 driving sessions as early as possible
• Practice with a qualified accompanying driver regularly
• Use the OEA method in your day-to-day observations
• Ask instructors for feedback after each lesson

✅ Next Step

Once you complete Phase 2, you're ready for Phase 3, which focuses on risks like speeding, impaired driving, and sharing the road. Keep your momentum!
