"Watch carefully for the sudden appearance of pedestrians."

When a bus is stopped at a bus stop, pedestrians may suddenly step into the road, especially passengers getting off the bus. You should reduce your speed, be extra cautious, and be prepared to stop if necessary to avoid accidents.

If you are driving behind a large goods vehicle that signals left but steers to the right, you should slow down and let the vehicle turn. Large vehicles often need extra space to make turns, and they may signal one direction while steering in the opposite direction to maneuver safely. It’s important to give them room and wait until it's safe to proceed.

At a T-junction, if your view is obstructed due to parked vehicles, you should ease forward cautiously until you can see clearly without crossing the give-way lines. This helps ensure that you have a clear view of oncoming traffic from both directions before proceeding safely. Always make sure to move gradually to avoid any sudden risks, and never rely on passengers to signal for you. Safety should be your priority.

Keeping the clutch down or selecting neutral while driving down a steep hill is dangerous because it removes engine braking, allowing the vehicle to gain speed uncontrollably. This can make it harder to slow down, increasing the risk of losing control or needing excessive braking, which can lead to brake failure due to overheating. Always use a lower gear to help control your speed safely.

High heels are not recommended or accepted for safe driving because they reduce your ability to properly control the pedals. They can slip off or get caught, making it harder to apply the right amount of pressure on the brake or accelerator.

A driver should look far ahead of the vehicle while driving, typically aiming for a 12-15 second gap between their car and the one in front to allow enough time to react to potential hazards.

When overtaking a motorcyclist in windy conditions, you should allow extra room. Wind can affect the stability of both your vehicle and the motorcycle, making it harder for the motorcyclist to control their bike. By giving them more space, you reduce the risk of causing an accident or startling the motorcyclist. Always exercise caution in adverse weather conditions.

Horses can be easily startled by sudden movements or loud noises. Always overtake carefully and slowly to ensure the safety of both the rider and the horse. Give them plenty of space and avoid honking or revving your engine. If necessary, wait until it is completely safe before passing.

When it's windy, and you are behind a motorcyclist who is overtaking a high-sided vehicle, you should keep well back. High winds can affect the stability of both the motorcyclist and the vehicle. Giving extra space allows you to safely react to any sudden movements or gusts of wind that may cause instability. Avoid overtaking until it is safe to do so.

Driving while angry can affect your concentration, judgment, and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents. It's important to calm down before starting your journey to ensure you are fully focused and in control of your emotions while driving.

When a driver pulls out of a side road in front of you, forcing you to brake suddenly, you should ignore the error and stay calm. Reacting with frustration or aggressive behavior, such as flashing your lights or sounding your horn to show annoyance, can escalate the situation and create more risk. The best response is to stay calm, focus on safe driving, and avoid actions that could compromise your safety or the safety of others.

If a vehicle comes up quickly behind you, flashing its headlights, it's signaling that it wants to overtake. The safest option is to allow the vehicle to pass. Maintain your speed and position, but don’t speed up or brake abruptly—just let the other vehicle safely overtake.

On a freshly graveled road, loose stones can reduce traction and increase stopping distances. Vehicles overtaking you can kick up gravel, which may damage your windshield or reduce visibility. Additionally, sudden maneuvers on loose gravel can lead to skidding. It’s important to reduce speed, maintain a safe following distance, and be extra cautious of vehicles overtaking to avoid accidents.

When descending a hill, you should avoid braking excessively — it can cause your brakes to overheat and fail. Instead, use a low gear to control your speed and apply the brakes gently when necessary.

Taking up the correct position in good time signals your intentions to other road users, allowing them to anticipate your movement and adjust accordingly. This improves road safety and ensures smoother traffic flow. Proper positioning also helps prevent last-minute lane changes, which can be dangerous.

If a vehicle is approaching you on the wrong side of the road, the safest action is to warn them with your horn and move to the right as far as possible to avoid a collision. Staying in your lane or relying only on your lights may not be enough to prevent an accident.

Before stopping, you should use the mirrors to check for traffic behind you. This helps ensure that stopping is safe and does not cause a hazard for other road users. Checking your mirrors allows you to be aware of approaching vehicles and adjust your braking accordingly.

Before moving off from behind a parked car, you should use all the mirrors on the vehicle to check for approaching traffic, cyclists, or pedestrians. Additionally, looking over your shoulder for blind spots ensures a safe maneuver.

The 2-second gap provides an ideal stopping distance under normal driving conditions, allowing enough time to react and brake safely if the vehicle in front stops suddenly.

When a vehicle on the motorway activates its hazard lights briefly, it is typically signaling that traffic ahead is slowing down or stopping suddenly. This is a warning to other drivers to be cautious and ready to stop or slow down.

Road humps (ramps) are designed to slow down vehicles for safety. Driving too fast over them can damage your vehicle and cause discomfort. Always reduce speed when approaching and crossing road humps.

Even after having just a few alcoholic drinks, a person’s reaction time, judgment, and coordination can still be impaired. It is safest to avoid driving altogether. Advising the driver to take public transport or arrange for a designated driver ensures they don’t take any risks on the road. Alcohol can affect your ability to drive safely even if you don’t feel overly intoxicated.

To be sure of the driver's true intention, watching the front wheels is the best approach. Signal lights can be left on accidentally, and brake lights only show slowing down, not necessarily turning. The movement of the front wheels gives the clearest indication of where the vehicle is actually going.

Reducing speed is crucial when approaching a traffic light that is showing amber, as it indicates that the light is about to turn red. Slowing down prepares you to stop safely if necessary, ensuring you do not run a red light or risk a collision.

At an intersection controlled by traffic lights, pedestrians have the right of way when crossing at designated pedestrian crossings, even if the traffic light turns green for vehicles. Always yield to pedestrians to ensure their safety.

When driving on a motorway at night with other vehicles ahead of you, you should use dipped headlights. This ensures you have enough visibility without dazzling other drivers. Full beam headlights should only be used when there are no vehicles in front of you or approaching from the opposite direction.

"Turn the wheels away from the curb."

When parking uphill next to a curb, you should turn your front wheels away from the curb. This way, if your vehicle rolls backward, the rear of your front tire will rest against the curb, preventing it from moving into traffic.

When following a large vehicle, stay out of its blind spots by positioning your vehicle in a place where the driver can see you in their mirrors. These blind spots are usually located directly behind the vehicle, along the sides (especially the right side), and sometimes in front of the vehicle. To avoid these, ensure you:

• Position yourself slightly to the left of the large vehicle, staying visible in the driver's side mirror.
• Keep a safe distance so you aren't directly behind or too close to the vehicle.
• Pass the vehicle quickly when overtaking to minimize the time spent in their blind spots.

This will help you stay visible and reduce the risk of accidents.

When you notice a ball bouncing into the road ahead, it’s likely that children are nearby and may run after it. Slowing down and being prepared to stop allows you to react quickly and safely if children unexpectedly run into the road.

To ensure safety on the road, you should allow other vehicles to overtake when they want to, as long as it is safe. Blocking or preventing overtaking can lead to frustration and risky maneuvers. However, never wave other vehicles to overtake, as it might mislead drivers about road conditions. Always focus on safe and legal driving practices.
