![]() ![]() The junctions tutorial explains the differences between open and closed junctions. The location may be a residential street with a closed junction, this may require a much slower speed that a wide open road with open junctions. Speed is relevant to the location and situation. If making a right turn, position the car just to the left of the centre line in the road. Taking the turn too close to the left side of the road may result in hitting the curb as you turn. Left turns are usually taken in your normal driving position. Correct road positioning can be found in the left and right turns, and junctions tutorials. The correct road position must be applied depending on the direction you are taking, the width of the road and if lanes are used. Signalling too late may not give other vehicles enough time to react to your change of direction, signalling too early may give the impression you are parking up or taking a turn earlier than you actually intend on doing. Signals must be applied approaching left or right turns, T-junctions, roundabouts and changing lanes. Not using signals at all, signalling too early or too late can be dangerous. The use of signals are to let other vehicles know of your intentions to change direction. The examiner would find this acceptable. Don’t forget however, it is often necessary in situation such as this to check the car blind spot just after the mirrors. ![]() It may be safer to continue ahead and not take the left turn. ![]() If a vehicle is driving extremely close behind you, it may be hazardous to slow down in time to allow the cyclists to pass and to safely make the left turn. It’s important to make a note of what you actually see in your mirrors as this ultimately determines the direction you will be traveling regardless of any directions the examiner may have conveyed to you.įor instance, you may be approaching a left turn, you have checked your mirrors and see multiple cyclists to your left, close to your car. The main interior mirror initially, followed by the door mirror of the direction you are traveling. The appropriate mirrors must be checked on the approach to any junction type. ![]()
