Dual Lane Right Turns

29/3/2014

Comments

 
Picture
When turning right from a one-way street, you should stay in the same lane throughout the turn. That means:

  • if you're turning from the left-hand lane of the one-way street, turn into the left-hand lane of the two-way street
  • if you're turning from the right-hand lane of the one-way street, turn into the lane immediately to the left of the centre line of the two-way street.

Picture
When two vehicles are turning into the same road at an intersection that has more than one marked in lane in both directions:

  • both vehicles must show they want to turn by signalling for at least three seconds
  • both vehicles stay in their own lane throughout the turn, that is:
    • car A turns from the left-hand lane into the left-hand lane
    • car B turns from the right-hand lane into the right-hand lane.

5 Minute Driving Testing Officers

18/3/2014

Comments

 

Tips on avoiding a five minute driving test:

If you testing officer is shorter then you, you are more like to fail on following too closely to other vehicles.

This speed limit is the the maximum sped limit not a target. Stay under the speed limit, within 5km.

Lane changing and merging, indicate till you are fully in the lane before turning the indicator off. (Minumim 3 seconds)

Roundabouts always indicate out, no matter how small the roundabout is.

When backing always check both your left and right shoulders (blind spots)

Three Point Turn - Indicate, Mirror, Shoulder Check.

Dual lanes try to stay in the left lane, if both lanes are going straight.

FULLY STOP at STOP Signs.

ROAD WORKS - if there is a 30km sign you must be at 30km.

Overshooting Turns (too wide)

11/3/2014

Comments

 

Right turns into one way or wide streets with dual lanes.

During the test you are required to turn right.

Normally as you approach an intersection you aim to stop before the street and roll up to it while checking if it is safe, and if safe keep moving. Aiming for around 20km.

One way streets and motorway on ramps are different because when you turn right you will end up on the right side of the road. (The closest lane)

It is a crital error if you go into the wrong lane.
