A reminder from the DSA on general driving procedures:
Before moving off you should:
- use all mirrors to check the road is clear
- look round to check the blind spots (the areas you are unable to see in the mirrors)
- signal if necessary before moving out
- look round for a final check
Move off only when it is safe to do so.
Rule 159
Not doing a blindspot check over your right shoulder before moving off is one of the most common causes of failing your driving test. It’s also one of the easiest ways of annoying the hell out of other drivers.
Only bad drivers fail to check properly before moving off.
The blindspot check isn’t just for the test – it’s for life!
