MSPSL is a simple routine that can help you plan your approach to junctions, roundabouts and other hazards.
M – Mirrors: check what’s happening behind and around you.
S – Signal: signal clearly if it will help other road users.
P – Position: move into the correct road position or lane.
S – Speed: adjust your speed early so you stay in control.
L – Look: make effective observations before continuing.
The important thing is not to rush through the routine. Give yourself enough time to see what’s happening and make a safe decision.
Good planning usually means smoother, safer driving.
