Good driving practice

Page 59

Do not delay or prevent pedestrians from crossing safely.

Make sure there is sufficient room to complete your manoeuvre safely

and smoothly.

No U-turn

(See Section 9 for rules and guidelines on turning)

Slowing down or stopping at the side of a road

Check in your mirror to make sure you can slow down and stop safely.

You must signal your intention when changing course and pulling in to stop.

In addition to your indication you can signal your intention to slow down either through the brake lights or by moving your right arm up and down outside your vehicle window (shown below) if you think your brake lights might not be seen or might not be working. If they are not working, have them repaired as soon as possible.
