Keep reasonable to the left
Know what is behind you, (move your chin / head up look at centre mirror) before braking
All intersections, as you approach try to see 3 lamp posts (100meters) on each side.
Downhill, don’t speed and then brake suddenly. Just let the car roll
Greenlight - always check both sides. You are looking for Police, fire and ambulance vehicles, and any vehicle that might come through
Be slow before turning aim to be around 20-25km, let the car roll around. Don’t brake after turning.
Wide roads - keep left. 1 lane splitting into 2 lanes aim for left lane.
Dual lane turns - stay in your lane. Don’t have vehicle next to you as you turn.
Merging - Indicate and check you blind spot / shoulder check. Don’t move suddenly to one side
Curved Roads - just roll around, don’t keep speeding as you go around a corner. Let go of the speed before the curve. speed softly as the car gets straight.

Narrow roads with blind corners - keep left
Right Turn - Keep left / don’t cut corners
Straight Roads - Look outwards (100mtrs) and know what is behind you every 10-15 seconds. Every lamp post look somewhere different rather then looking everywhere at the same time.
