Practical Driving Test Tips - Crossing Other Traffic
Problem Reason Solution
At the crossroads, you crossed oncoming traffic unsafely Because you were unsure about which way to cross, right-side to right-side or otherwise, when the oncoming vehicle was turning right Turn right-side to right-side (of the car), where practicable, or unless signs say otherwise. This is the safest method as it allows you to see the oncoming traffic. Turning left-side to left-side can block your view and also the view of the other driver
You crossed approaching traffic unsafely Because you misjudged its speed and distance Use the guideline: if you could walk across, you could drive across
You crossed approaching traffic unsafely Because you misjudged its speed and distance Complete the turn and have the back of your car completely in the new road by the time any traffic drives by on the major road
You crossed approaching traffic unsafely Because you misjudged its speed and distance Consider the type of vehicle: m/cycle sports car / LGV/ PCV and so on. It’s also more difficult to judge speed and distance at night and in adverse weather conditions
