Starting, Manoeuvring and Positioning on the Roadway
Before moving off
Check mirrors, signal, check blind spot by turning the head, then move. Give way to all traffic already on the road. A signal does not create priority - it announces intention.
Lane positioning
Drive on the right-hand side. Keep as far right as is safe, but not so far that you enter the shoulder. On multi-lane roads, keep to the rightmost lane unless overtaking, preparing to turn left, or when traffic density requires using all lanes. Heavy vehicles and slow vehicles keep right. Do not straddle lanes.
Manoeuvres
Turning left: signal, check mirrors, move to the leftmost lane, yield to oncoming traffic going straight or right. Turning right: stay close to the right edge, do not cut the corner, yield to pedestrians and cyclists. Reversing: only when safe, with assistance if visibility is poor; reversing is prohibited on crossings, at intersections and on motorways. U-turn: prohibited at pedestrian crossings, at intersections with limited visibility, on bridges, in tunnels, at railway crossings and where signs forbid it. Changing lanes: signal, mirror, blind spot, and yield to vehicles already in the target lane.
Traps
Questions test whether a signal gives priority (it does not), whether you may reverse on a motorway (no), and whether you may U-turn at a crossing (no). Another trap: turning left across oncoming traffic - oncoming vehicles going straight have priority.
Rule of thumb
Use M-S-M-B: Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre check (blind spot), Begin. If any step is skipped, the manoeuvre is unsafe.
