Information

Take Information

Look all around you, using your mirrors to study the situation behind.

Use Information

Using what you have observed, plan how to deal with the identified hazards

Give Information

Give a signal if it is helpful to the other road users. Use of indicators will be the normal method, but consider arm signal, horn and flashed headlights as necessary.

Position

After giving a signal, take up the correct position on the road. You may need to check your mirrors again before changing course.

Speed

Adjust your speed to the correct level for the hazard by using the brakes or engine braking (or the accelerator as necessary). You may need to check your mirrors again.

Gear

Once travelling at the right speed, select the correct gear. If time is short, you may need to change gear shortly before you finish braking. Consider a final mirror check.

Acceleration 

Once your car is on a straight course after the hazard, accelerate to a suitable speed.
