Zorluk: OrtaPre-Manoeuvre Observation

You are driving on a two-way urban road and approach a stationary delivery lorry obstructing your lane. In what sequence should you carry out the observation and communication routine before moving out to pass the vehicle?

  1. 1Check the interior rear-view mirror to assess the speed and proximity of following traffic.
  2. 2Check the right exterior door mirror to see if any vehicle is overtaking or alongside.
  3. 3Check the right-side blind spot over your shoulder for cyclists or filtering motorcyclists.
  4. 4Signal right to clearly communicate your intention to move out to other road users.
  5. 5Make a final forward assessment of oncoming traffic and steer smoothly around the stationary vehicle.

Cevap

Check the interior rear-view mirror, check the right exterior door mirror, check the right blind spot over your shoulder, signal right to indicate intention, and make a final forward assessment before steering smoothly around the obstruction.
Under official DVSA driving standards and the Highway Code, the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine requires observation to precede signalling and action. The driver first checks the interior mirror to gauge following traffic, followed by the right door mirror and a shoulder blind spot check to ensure no vulnerable road users are alongside. Only after safety is verified should a right signal be applied, concluding with a final forward scan before steering around the stationary obstruction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Check the interior rear-view mirror.
Assesses the distance and speed of vehicles directly behind you.
Establishes whether moving out or slowing down will compromise following traffic.
2
Check the right exterior door mirror.
Identifies road users already approaching or overtaking in the adjacent lane.
Ensures the space to the right is clear before planning the manoeuvre line.
3
Look over the right shoulder into the blind spot.
Detects cyclists, motorcyclists, or pedestrians that are hidden from mirror reflections.
Mirrors have physical blind zones that require a direct visual check.
4
Apply the right turn signal if necessary.
Communicates your planned movement to drivers behind, oncoming vehicles, and pedestrians.
Signalling after observation ensures you only signal when the action is safe and appropriate.
5
Make a final forward check and steer out around the obstruction.
Safely carries out the manoeuvre with full awareness of the changing road ahead.
Executes the manoeuvre smoothly once all hazards have been verified and cleared.
