Knowledge and UnderstandingPelican crossings are signal-controlled crossings operated by pedestrians. Push-button controls change the signals. Pelican crossings have no red-and-amber stage before green. Instead, they have a flashing amber light, which means you MUST give way to pedestrians already on the crossing, but if it is clear, you may continue. Stop and wait for the red light Give way to pedestrians waiting to cross Give way to pedestrians already on the crossing | |
Knowledge and Understanding'Tailgating' is used to describe this dangerous practice, often seen in fast-moving traffic and on motorways. Following the vehicle in front too closely is dangerous because it a) restricts your view of the road ahead b) leaves you no safety margin if the vehicle in front slows down or stops suddenly. Reversing into a parking space Following another vehicle too closely Driving with rear fog lights on | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingWet roads will reduce your tyres' grip on the road. The safe separation gap of at least two seconds in dry conditions should be doubled in wet weather. Two seconds Three seconds Four seconds | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingWhen learning to drive it is a good idea to practice filling your car with fuel. Ask your instructor if you can use a petrol station and fill the fuel tank yourself. You need to know where the filler cap is located on the car you are driving in order to park on the correct side of the pump. Take care not to overfill the tank or spill fuel. Make sure you secure the filler cap as soon as you have replaced the fuel nozzle. You have used a locking filler cap You check your fuel gauge is working Your filler cap is securely fastened | |

Knowledge and UnderstandingIn strong winds riders of two-wheeled vehicles are particularly vulnerable. When you overtake them allow plenty of room. Always check to the left as you pass. Pass quickly Pass wide Pass immediately | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingIn a contraflow system you will be travelling close to oncoming traffic and sometimes in narrow lanes. You should obey the temporary speed limit signs, get into the correct lane at the proper time and keep a safe separation distance from the vehicle ahead. When traffic is at a very low speed, merging in turn is recommended if it is safe and appropriate. Switch lanes at any time to make progress Choose an appropriate lane in good time Keep the correct separation distance Increase speed to pass through quickly Follow other motorists closely to avoid long queues | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingA skid happens when the driver changes the speed or direction of their vehicle so suddenly that the tyres can't keep their grip on the road. Remember that the risk of skidding on a wet or icy road is much greater than in dry conditions. Driver error Other vehicles Pedestrians | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingIf you are travelling on a icy road extra caution will be required to avoid loss of control. Keeping your speed down and using the highest gear possible will reduce the risk of the tyres losing their grip on this slippery surface. Use the handbrake if the wheels start to slip Brake gently and repeatedly Drive in a low gear at all times | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingSteer into the skid but be careful not to overcorrect with too much steering. Too much movement may lead to a skid in the opposite direction. Skids don't just happen, they are caused. The three important factors in order are the driver, the vehicle and the road surface. Steer carefully to the left Steer carefully to the right Brake firmly and steer to the left | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingBraking on snow can be extremely dangerous. Be gentle with both the accelerator and brake to prevent wheelspin. Be ready to steer sharply Use sidelights only Brake gently in plenty of time | |

Knowledge and UnderstandingIf an anti-lock braking system is fitted it activates automatically when maximum braking pressure is applied or when it senses that the wheels are about to lock. It prevents the wheels from locking so you can continue to steer the vehicle during braking. It does not remove the need for good driving practices such as anticipation and correct speed for the conditions. Skid Puncture Wear | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingTry to plan your journey so that you can take rest stops. It is recommended that you take a break of at least 15 minutes after every two hours of driving. This should help to maintain your concentration. Yes, regular stops help concentration No, you will be less tired if you get there as soon as possible No, only fuel stops will be needed | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingThere are times when other road users make a misjudgment or mistake. When this happens try not to get annoyed and don't react by showing anger. Sounding your horn, flashing your headlights or shouting won't help the situation. Good anticipation will help to prevent these incidents becoming collisions. Let them know how you feel Flash your headlights several times Sound your horn | |

Recognising a clue like this helps you to be prepared and take appropriate action, making you safer on the road. Motorcycles do not have mirrors Look around helps them balance as they turn They need to check for traffic in their blind area | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingThe interior mirror of most vehicles can be set to the anti-dazzle position. You will still be able to see the lights of the traffic behind you, but the dazzle will be greatly reduced. Set your mirror to dazzle the other driver Brake sharply to a stop Switch your rear lights on and off | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingAnother road user failing to see a motorcyclist is a major cause of collisions at junctions. Wherever streams of traffic join or cross there is the potential for this type of incident to occur. On dual carriageways When approaching junctions On motorways | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingCyclists approaching a roundabout in the left-hand lane may be turning right but may not have been able to get into the correct lane due to the heavy traffic. They may also feel safer keeping to the left all the way round the roundabout. Be aware of them and give them plenty of room. Right Any direction Straight ahead | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingIf you see a bus ahead watch out for pedestrians. They may not be able to see you if they are crossing from behind the bus. Pedestrians may come from behind the bus The bus may move off suddenly The bus may remain stationary | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingIt is very frustrating when your separation distance is shortened by another vehicle. React positively, stay calm and drop further back. Drop back further Flash your headlights Start to overtake | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingYou MUST turn off your fog lights if visibility is over 100 metres (328 feet). However, be prepared for the fact that the fog may be patchy. Keep your rear fog lights on Keep your front fog lights on Leave fog lights on in case fog returns | |

Lay the casualty down, loosen tight clothing, call an ambulance and check their breathing and pulse. Offer them a cigarette Keep them warm Avoid moving them if possible Avoid leaving them alone Give them a warm drink | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingKeep calm and don't brake harshly or you could lose control completely. Ease off the accelerator until the unit is brought back under control. The most dangerous time is on long downhill gradients. Accelerate to increase your speed Stop as quickly as you can Slow down very gradually | |
Knowledge and UnderstandingAny load will have an effect on the handling of your vehicle and this becomes worse as you increase the load. Any changes in the centre of gravity or weight the vehicle is carrying will affect its braking and handling on bends. You need to be aware of this when carrying passengers, heavy load, fitting a roof rack or towing a trailer. Steering Handling Battery life Journey time |
