From 12 May, only you as the learner driver will be able to book and manage your car driving test.

This means your driving instructor won’t be allowed to do this for you.

❓ Have you got a friend or family member who receives a chorus of horns when using a roundabout?

👀 Make sure to share our post with them:

↔️Signals and position:

When taking the first exit to the left, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise:

👈 signal left and approach in the left-hand lane
👈 keep to the left on the roundabout and continue signalling left to leave

When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise

👉 signal right and approach in the right-hand lane
👉 keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout
👈 signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want.

When taking any intermediate exit, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise

👆 select the appropriate lane on approach to the roundabout
👆 you should not normally need to signal on approach
👆 stay in this lane until you need to alter course to exit the roundabout
👈 signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want

When there are more than three lanes at the entrance to a roundabout, use the most appropriate lane on approach and pay attention to road markings and signs.

You may not have known that the Highway Code applies to pedestrians as well? Whether you're at a junction, zebra crossing or anywhere else, these simple steps can help keep you and others around you, safe:

🚶 Find a safe place to cross where you can see clearly in all directions. Use a crossing if there's one nearby.

🚶 Stop at the kerb and look all around for traffic. Listen too – you can often hear vehicles before you see them.

🚶 Wait for a safe gap. If traffic is coming, let it pass, then look and listen again.

🚶 When it's safe, walk straight across. Keep looking and listening as you cross, and watch for cyclists moving between lanes. Avoid crossing between parked cars, on bends or near the top of a hill where drivers can't see you.

If you need to know more to feel safe when crossing the road, find more in the Highway Code online: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-for-pedestrians-1-to-35

Daytime running lights are exactly that – to make yourself visible on the road during the daytime. 🚗

They’re too bright for night driving and don’t light the back of your car.

So SWITCH YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON when it’s getting dark, unless yours are automated.

Check your car’s manual to see if they are.

And read Rule 113 of the Highway Code in case you’ve forgotten how they work 📖

Not a secret feature but maybe you didn’t know about it ? 🚦

In wet weather, stopping distances will be at least doubled. You should:
• keep well back from the vehicle in front
• ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually if the steering becomes unresponsive
• rain and spray from vehicles may make it difficult to see and be seen
Drivers, remember that travelling fast through flooded road sections can pose a serious hazard to oncoming motorcyclists, as the driver's speed can cause dangerous splashing that can overwhelm a rider.
Always for a motorcyclist.
