Pedestrians:
|
 |
|
Give way to pedestrians whenever possible .
|
|
Take particular care with the very young, the disabled and the elderly, they may not
have seen you, and might not be able to react quickly to danger.
|
|
Look out for pedestrians approaching or standing at Zebra crossings, stop and let them
cross safely. Do not speed up or rev your engine to scare them.
|
|
Look out for pedestrians at all times but especially in shopping areas, where there might
be a number of people waiting to cross the road, often at junctions.
|
Motorcyclists:
|
|
|
Look out for motorcyclists anytime you are on the road. Don't just trust your mirrors -
motorcyclists can be hidden in your blind spot. Turn and look over your shoulder to be sure.
|
|
Look out for motorcyclists who are weaving in and out of lanes - they can be unpredictable.
|
|
Be especially aware when you're waiting to turn or to move out from a junction or
roundabout. Motorcyclists can appear suddenly on either your left or right and you may not
notice them until it's too late.
|
|
Do not speed up when a motorcyclist is trying to overtake you.
|
|
Anticipate a motorcyclist swerving to avoid potholes or obstructions on the road.
|
Cyclists:
|
|
|
When passing cyclists, give them at least 6 ft clearance as you pass them. This is because
of the wind turbulence your vehicle creates.
|
|
Cyclists may swerve to avoid potholes in the road, be extra careful when passing them.
|
|
Always look out for cyclists when turning at junctions or roundabouts.
