Sharing the road with others
Roads are shared by drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and large vehicles, each with different needs. The G1 test expects you to know how to give them room.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ When passing a cyclist you must leave at least one metre of space.
- ◆ Large trucks have big blind spots -- if you cannot see the driver’s mirror, they cannot see you.
- ◆ Trucks and buses take much longer to stop, so never cut in front of them.
- ◆ Pull over and stop for approaching emergency vehicles with lights and sirens.
- ◆ Motorcycles are small and easy to miss -- look twice before turning or changing lanes.
