Overtaking, Turning, and Parking Rules
What this domain tests
Overtaking, Turning, and Parking Rules tests manoeuvres that cause many collisions: passing, turning across traffic, and parking illegally or unsafely.
Overtaking
Overtake on the left. Do so only when the road is clear, the line permits it, and you can see far enough ahead. Do not overtake at junctions, bends, hill crests, pedestrian crossings, or where a solid line prohibits it. Signal, check the mirror and blind spot, pass with a safe margin, and return right only when you can see the overtaken vehicle in your mirror.
Turning
Use the mirror-signal-position-speed-look routine. For a right turn, keep close to the right curb and do not swing wide. For a left turn, position from the left lane, give way to oncoming traffic, and yield to pedestrians. Do not cut the corner.
Parking
Park in the direction of traffic, within markings where provided, with the handbrake applied. Keep clear of junctions, crossings, bends, bus stops, fire hydrants, and driveways. Do not park where you block visibility or traffic flow.
Worked example
You want to turn left at a green light while an oncoming car is approaching. Reasoning: a green light does not give you priority over oncoming traffic. Wait until the oncoming car has passed or clearly stops, and check for pedestrians before completing the turn. A green arrow would change the priority.
Traps that cost marks
Overtaking on a solid line, turning from the wrong lane, and parking against the direction of traffic are frequent errors. Opening a door without checking the mirror can also cause a collision.
