- CFixate your attention solely on the delivery driver directly ahead to see when they finish unloading
- DRely entirely on your interior rear-view mirror to decide when it is clear to pull out
Cevap
Before pulling out to pass a stationary delivery vehicle, you should check your mirrors and right-side blind spot for overtaking cyclists or vehicles, and scan beneath and between parked vehicles for pedestrians who may emerge into the carriageway.
Passing a stationary vehicle requires proactive, all-round observation. Checking mirrors and completing a right shoulder blind-spot check ensures no approaching or filtering road users (like cyclists) are in your path, while scanning beneath and between parked vehicles helps identify crossing pedestrians before they emerge into the road.
