Sub-skills
Lesson 1
Moving off
Moving off safely is a set order of checks where each one builds on the last, and the final look happens immediately before you move - because the road a few seconds ago is not the road you are pulling into now.

Lesson 2
Pulling up on the left
Where you choose to stop is decided well before you brake - a safe, legal, convenient spot only works if you've already checked mirrors and started slowing in good time.

Lesson 3
Coming soonHill starts
A hill start is a normal move-off with one extra factor: gravity. The steeper the slope, the more carefully you balance holding the car still against getting it moving, so it neither rolls back nor lurches - but the observation routine before you go is exactly the same as on the flat.
