🚗 FRIDAY DRIVING TIP – WATCH OUT FOR PARKED CARS! 👀
Parked cars might look harmless, but they can create some tricky situations for learner drivers!
💡 Here's what to remember when passing parked vehicles:
✅ Look well ahead and identify parked cars early.
✅ Check your mirrors before changing your road position.
✅ Look out for pedestrians, cyclists and car doors opening.
✅ Leave plenty of room when passing parked vehicles.
✅ Be prepared to slow down or stop if there's not enough room to pass safely.
✅ Never squeeze through a gap just to keep moving. Patience is always better than taking a risk!
👏 Good planning and anticipation are key skills for becoming a safe, confident driver.
