Common dangers at junctions

You shouldn’t always expect drivers turning right to wait for you.

When you see a vehicle approaching with a right indicator signal on, try to work out its speed. If it does not appear to be slowing down enough, check to see what is happening behind and ease off the gas. Hold back if you think it will turn in front of you.

If you’re driving ahead at traffic lights, 

watch for drivers turning across your path. 

They may not have seen you.

Watch out for drivers emerging from 

side roads. Even when you’re driving

ong major roads, you should expect 

drivers to emerge from side roads. As 

you’re driving along, check your mirrors 

regularly and look ahead for roads to 

the left and right.

Look for drivers approaching the junctions at high speed. They may not look properly and may pull out in front of you simply because they didn’t see you.

Emerging drivers may be distracted by other traffic and not see you. Anticipate danger if approaching traffic seems to be inviting emerging drivers to pull out.

When you are approaching side roads, always be aware of what is behind 

you, particularly before you decide to turn. Follow the mirrors–signal–manoeuvre routine and take a final look in the appropriate door mirror before turning right or left. Remember, if you use your mirrors properly and react to what you see in them, you shouldn’t get caught out by vehicles overtaking you.

When you are waiting in traffic, make sure you leave side roads and other 

main entrances clear for others to drive in and out.

If you are waiting to emerge from a side road, try using eye contact and smiling. This often encourages others to let you in.
