Getting Ready For Your RMS Driving Test.
There are two overlooked things that are really important for your RMS driving test.
Refer to the “The Guide To The Driving Test” and make sure your understand this
Before proceeding through traffic lights, you must turn your head and check to ensure there are no vehicles that may be ‘running’ the red light, or pedestrians crossing against the ‘don’t walk’ sign. You must also turn your head and check to ensure it is safe before proceeding across a railway level crossing.
Therefore BEFORE you enter an intersection with traffic lights you MUST turn your head and look right and left. If you do not do this you will fail. Even if there is no road on your left or right you still must turn your head. Cos you need to look for pedestrians as well as bikes, cars, trucks etc.
The other overlooked thing is blind spots checks. Simply, every time a blinker is blinking there is a blind spot to check. Every time you change direction, as in turn left, you must indicate your intention and check the blind spot.
You must turn your head and check your blind spots before:
• Changing lanes.
• Leaving or returning to the kerb.
• Merging or diverging.
• Reversing.
• Turning left – looking for pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles that could be beside you in your blind spot.
• Turning right – looking for vehicles that may be overtaking you.
• Joining the traffic stream.
• Leaving the inside lane of a multi lane roundabout.
When reversing you must turn your head and look over your shoulder.
On your RTA driving test you must do all blind spot checks because if you miss three you will fail. And you will be grumpy plus have to redo the RTA driving test.
When going through multi-lane roundabouts slow it down so you can blink left to leave the roundabout plus check your left blind spot if you are in the right lane. On my video page have a look at the three videos, may help you pass your driving test. Good Luck !
