Every driver holds the ultimate responsibility for road safety. This episode focuses on protecting the most Vulnerable Road Users, teaching you the mandatory safety margins and rules required by law.
Host Toby provides the precise rules for anticipation and space:
- The 1.5m Margin: Learn the legally enforced distance you must leave when overtaking a cyclist (at speeds under 30mph), and why you must treat them like slow-moving vehicles.
- Decoding Crossings: Master the crucial difference between Zebra, Pelican, and Toucan crossings, including the specific action you must take when a Pelican light flashes amber.
- Horses and Lorries: Understand the 2 metre rule for passing horses—slowly, quietly, and wide. Plus, learn the critical warning sign for large vehicles that often swing out to the right before making a sharp left turn.
Your primary action is always anticipation. Master these rules to protect vulnerable road users and ensure a safe, confident test score.
