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 |
