Watch the inside rear wheel when turning: it follows a tighter path than the front wheel. Leave sufficient kerb clearance so it does not mount or strike the kerb.
Keep left on a two-way road as normal lane discipline. Move right only for a valid manoeuvre such as overtaking, then return left when it is safe.
On a one-way street where traffic may lawfully pass on either side, overtaking on the left can be permitted. It is still only safe when there is enough space and no conflict with other road users.
The rear nearside wheel follows a tighter path than the front wheel during a turn. Check it and allow extra room whenever turning near a kerb, cyclist or obstacle.
The driver is responsible for the final safety check at a junction. Do not rely on a passenger’s view; observe the traffic yourself and proceed only when the way is clear.
Approach a roundabout at a reduced speed and give way to traffic already circulating from the right before entering.
When turning right into a two-way road, enter the lane just left of the centre line, keeping on the correct side for your direction of travel.
At a roundabout, give way to traffic approaching or circulating from your right before entering.
At an uncontrolled junction, observe and give way to traffic with priority from the right before proceeding straight.
Slow down and yield to circulating traffic from the right before entering a roundabout.
At an uncontrolled junction, a turning driver must give way to traffic proceeding straight from the right.
On a one-way street, choose a lane appropriate for the traffic and intended manoeuvre; keeping left is not an absolute rule in every circumstance.
