Cevap

To check for cyclists or motorcyclists filtering or riding up on your left-hand side.
Before turning left, drivers must always check the interior mirror, the left exterior mirror, and the near-side blind spot. Cyclists, e-scooter riders, and motorcyclists often filter along the inside of slow-moving traffic. Checking ensures you do not turn across their path and cause a collision.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the situation before executing the left turn.
Identify that cyclists and motorcyclists may be travelling faster than slow-moving traffic along the left kerbside or inside lane.
Vulnerable road users are less visible and frequently filter through queued or decelerating vehicles.
2
Perform the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine, including exterior mirror and blind spot checks.
Ensure the near-side space is completely clear before crossing the cycle track or turning into the side street.
Blind spots are areas obscured by vehicle pillars and not fully covered by mirrors alone.

Anahtar Kavram

Effective observation and blind spot awareness to protect vulnerable road users when changing direction.
