• Once you are on the motorway, you must signal before every lane change.
• Check your mirrors regularly, as you must always be aware of what is going on around you.
• Know the blind spots on your own and other drivers’ vehicles. Observing and scanning ahead of the vehicle in front of you can help you to avoid unnecessary braking.
• Remember, before changing lanes follow the ‘mirror, signal, mirror, manoeuvre’ method. Traffic may be coming from behind you at speed so remember to check your mirrors to help you judge how fast they are approaching. This will increase your chances of seeing a vehicle that is travelling in your blind spot.
