Which of the following statements relate to Level 3 of the Goals for Driver Education (GDE) matrix?
- A The technology fitted to the car
- B The time pressure a driver is under
- C The hazards encountered during the journey
- D The driver’s ability to monitor their speed
Why this is the answer
The GDE matrix consists of four levels. The first level is about car control and the second is about driving in traffic. These are taught in traditional instructional methods. Coaching allows you to explore the third and fourth levels which look at what influences how someone drives and how their personality, values, opinions and beliefs affect their choices.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- The technology fitted to the car — Vehicle technology sits at the lowest level of the matrix.
- C
- The hazards encountered during the journey — Hazards on the journey belong to the level about mastering traffic situations.
- D
- The driver’s ability to monitor their speed — Monitoring speed is vehicle control, again at the lowest level.
Where this comes from
- PTS — section 3

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
