Question Category: Band 1 road procedure


You're at the front of a queue of traffic waiting to turn right into a side road. Why is it important to check your offside mirror just before turning?


Explanation

"In queuing traffic, motorcyclists and cyclists often filter past the stationary vehicles. Before you turn right in a traffic queue, check your mirrors for passing vehicles. Motorcyclists and cyclists are smaller than other vehicles and can be difficult to see, so look for them before turning."
