You are driving on a single-carriageway road and intend to overtake a slow-moving cyclist ahead. In what sequential order should you carry out the following actions?

  1. 1Hold back at a safe following distance to ensure an unobstructed view of the road ahead
  2. 2Check your interior and right exterior mirrors to assess traffic behind
  3. 3Assess the road ahead to verify there is a clear gap in oncoming traffic and no junctions or bends
  4. 4Signal if necessary and move out, leaving at least 1.5 metres of clearance when passing

Cevap

The driver should first hold back at a safe distance to ensure clear forward vision, check the interior and right mirrors for following vehicles, confirm the road ahead is free from oncoming traffic or hazards, and finally signal and pass leaving at least 1.5 metres of clearance.
Following safe driving principles and the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre routine, the driver must first drop back to maintain a clear forward view, check mirrors to confirm following traffic will not conflict, ensure the oncoming lane and forward path are completely free of hazards, and then execute the pass giving at least 1.5 metres of lateral room.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Hold back at a safe following distance behind the cyclist
Creates adequate space and opens up your forward field of vision around the cyclist
Following too closely limits forward observation and reduces reaction time if the cyclist swerves or stops
2
Check the interior mirror and right exterior mirror
Identifies the speed and position of following traffic
Applying the early observation stage of the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre routine ensures it is safe to consider moving out
3
Assess the oncoming road and check for upcoming junctions, bends, or pedestrian crossings
Confirms there is a sufficient gap and no hazards that could compromise the overtake
You must never overtake where oncoming vehicles, junctions, or road narrowing would force you back into the cyclist's path
4
Signal if necessary and steer out smoothly, allowing at least 1.5 metres of clearance
Safely completes the pass without intimidating the cyclist or creating dangerous air turbulence
The Highway Code requires drivers to leave at least 1.5 metres of clearance when overtaking cyclists at speeds up to 30 mph
