Correct use of Right Turning Bays

28/6/2013

Comments

 
This is what my students are afraid of doing:
  • You have 5 seconds to move, into the flush median if there are no oncoming vehicle's from your right.
  • Turn right into a flush median to wait for a safe gap, before merging with traffic.

Hazard Detection For The Full Licence Test

This may help some of you to better define what is a hazard

Some of the comments below are from the testing officers Manual.

FLT TO manual
While driving through each of the eight assessable tasks the applicant is required to verbally describe:

(HD) - the hazards they detect 
(HR) - the actions they would take in response to the hazards.

A simple example of this would be:
  • on detecting oncoming traffic, the applicant would then say that the oncoming traffic is a hazard (HD)
  • their response could be to say that they will steer slightly left to maintain a safe clearance (HR). 

FLT TO manual
A hazard is anything moving or potentially moving that poses a clear and direct threat to the applicant in carrying out the driving manoeuvre and therefore requires a driving response from the applicant. In other words a hazard is something that the applicant could realistically have a collision with in carrying out the manoeuvre. The decision as to whether something is a hazard must be made in the context of the manoeuvre being completed.

Hazards do not include:
  • static objects such as protruding hedges, road signs, parked vehicles without occupants
  • road features such as intersections, merge lanes etc
  • pedestrians walking away from the intended path of the applicants vehicle
  • vehicles that have cleared the intersection before the applicant arrives there
