When the way is clear, move out and adjust your speed to that of the
normal safe and legal flow of traffic.
When you are ready to move off, check your mirrors and signal your
intention to move out into traffic.
Always look in your mirror but remember that there are blind spots, so always check over your shoulders as well. Traffic and pedestrians may be coming up beside your vehicle. When moving off from a stationary position check your blind spots by looking around you.
Your position on the road
Make sure you drive your vehicle far enough to the left to allow traffic to safely pass or overtake on the right, but not so far to the left that you are driving on a cycle lane or blocking or endangering cyclists or pedestrians.
