  3. Carry out an all-round observation check, including looking over your right shoulder into the blind spot.Cevap
  4. D
    Fix your attention entirely on oncoming traffic ahead while accelerating into the carriageway.

Cevap

Carry out an all-round observation check, including looking over your right shoulder into the blind spot.
Before moving off from the side of the road, especially after waiting for traffic to pass, road conditions can change rapidly. Drivers must carry out an all-round observation check covering all mirrors and look over the right shoulder into the blind spot to ensure no approaching vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians are entering the path of the car.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the situation after waiting stationary at the kerb
Recognise that traffic and pedestrian conditions continuously evolve while stationary.
Previous mirror checks may no longer reflect the immediate surrounding traffic situation.
2
Perform a final 360-degree observation routine prior to moving off
Check all mirrors and complete a right-shoulder blind spot check.
Mirrors do not cover the area directly over the driver's right shoulder, where overtaking cyclists or vehicles may be positioned.
