Good observations when moving off

Moving off safely is not a fixed head-turning routine. The checks need to match the situation and be repeated if anything changes before the car moves.

Driving SkillsGood observations when moving off
1

Look where risk can appear

Think about cyclists, pedestrians, vehicles passing, parked vans and limited visibility.

2

Make each check purposeful

A glance only matters if you actually use the information it gives you.

3

Redo checks after a delay

If you pause after looking, conditions may have changed. Re-check before moving.
