Study Notes
Driving Near Parked Cars
- Be vigilant for children playing near parked vehicles, as they may suddenly run into the road.
- Always be prepared to stop, especially if children are retrieving a ball from the street.
Following Cyclists
- Awareness of a cyclist's movements is crucial; they may turn left or right without warning.
- Cyclists may carry items that could fall onto the roadway, warranting increased caution.
Overtaking 'L' Marked Vehicles
- Exercise extra caution when overtaking learner (L-marked) drivers as they may be nervous and unpredictably cautious.
- Maintain a safe distance and ensure the road is clear before attempting to overtake.
Yielding at Intersections
- Prioritize checking both left and right for oncoming traffic before entering an intersection.
- Follow the traffic control signals and only maneuver if the traffic light is green and safe to proceed.
Emergency Situations
- When needing to slow down suddenly due to hazards, activate hazard warning lights to alert other drivers.
Leaving Your Vehicle Unattended
- Always ensure your vehicle is locked and the keys are removed if leaving it unattended briefly.
- Leaving the engine running while parked is discouraged and may lead to theft.
Right of Way at Junctions
- At an uncontrolled junction without signs, the vehicle on the wider road generally has priority.
- Be cautious as neither vehicle has a formal right of way, requiring mutual consideration.
Pedestrian Crossings
- Stop before the stop line at zebra crossings to allow pedestrians to cross safely.
- Always yield to pedestrians waiting to cross, even if they haven't stepped onto the crossing.
Reversing
- Reversing on busier roads should be avoided unless absolutely necessary and safe.
- Always check the surroundings before reversing to ensure it’s safe and clear.
Overtaking Protocols
- It's unsafe to overtake if it could inconvenience or endanger oncoming vehicles, especially in tight spaces like bends or hills.
- Maintain focus on safety and avoid overtaking without visibility and clear roads.
Dealing with Overtaking Vehicles
- If another vehicle is overtaking you, maintain your speed to avoid complicating the maneuver.
Motorcyclists and Heavy Vehicles
- When behind motorcyclists, keep a safe distance and be prepared for sudden maneuvers.
- Stay clear of large vehicles when overtaking due to potential blind spots and loss of stability.
Braking Techniques
- Avoid harsh braking on sharp bends to maintain vehicle stability and control.
- Smooth and controlled braking is essential for safety on curves.
Dealing with Heavily Loaded Lorries
- If a heavily loaded lorry is overtaking and taking time, it's best to reduce your speed and allow them space to maneuver safely.
