You are driving in the left lane of a busy multi-lane one-way street and need to move into the right-hand lane to prepare for an upcoming junction. In what sequence should you carry out the following observation and vehicle control actions?
- 1Check your interior rear-view mirror to assess the speed and position of vehicles following directly behind.
- 2Check your right exterior door mirror to evaluate the traffic flow in the adjacent lane.
- 3Activate your right direction indicator to signal your intention to other road users.
- 4Check your right shoulder blind spot with a quick glance to confirm no vehicle or cyclist is alongside.
- 5Steer smoothly across into the right-hand lane while maintaining a safe road speed.
Cevap
The correct sequence begins with checking the interior rear-view mirror, followed by the right exterior door mirror, activating the right direction indicator, performing a right-shoulder blind spot check, and finally steering smoothly into the right-hand lane.
The correct procedure follows the standard DVSA Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine. The interior mirror is checked first for general situational awareness, followed by the right door mirror to evaluate the target lane. Once verified, the right indicator is activated to give clear advance warning. Crucially, a final quick glance over the right shoulder into the blind spot is carried out immediately before steering smoothly into the lane.
