The Highway Code - Road users requiring extra care (Pedestrians )

204)
The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, cyclists,
motorcyclists and horse riders. It is particularly important to be
aware of children, older and disabled people, and learner and 
inexperienced drivers and riders.

Visit: The Highway Code book

Pedestrians
205)
There is a risk of pedestrians, especially children, stepping unexpectedly
into the road. You should drive with the safety of children in mind
at a speed suitable for the conditions.
206)
Drive carefully and slowly when
in crowded shopping streets, Home Zones and Quiet Lanes (see Rule 218) or residential areas
driving past bus and tram stops; pedestrians may emerge suddenly into the road
passing parked vehicles, especially ice cream vans; children are more interested in ice cream than traffic and may run into the road unexpectedly
needing to cross a pavement or cycle track; for example, to reach or leave a driveway. Give way to pedestrians and cyclists on the pavement
Highway Code - Alcohol And Drugs
reversing into a side road; look all around the vehicle and give way
to any pedestrians who may be crossing the road
turning at road junctions; give way to pedestrians who are already
crossing the road into which you are turning
approaching pedestrians on narrow rural roads without a footway
or footpath. Always slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary,
giving them plenty of room as you drive past.

Visit: Driving test offer
207) Particularly vulnerable pedestrians. These include
children and older pedestrians who may not be able to judge
your speed and could step into the road in front of you. At
40 mph (64 km/h) your vehicle will probably kill any pedestrians
it hits. At 20 mph (32 km/h) there is only a 1 in 20 chance of the
pedestrian being killed. So kill your speed
older pedestrians who may need more time to cross the road.
Be patient and allow them to cross in their own time. Do not hurry
them by revving your engine or edging forward
people with disabilities. People with hearing impairments may not
be aware of your vehicle approaching. Those with walking difficulties
require more time
blind or partially sighted people, who may be carrying a white cane
using a guide dog. They may not be able to see you approaching
deafblind people who may be carrying a white cane with a red band
or using a dog with a red and white harness. They may not see or
hear instructions or signals.
208) Near schools. Drive slowly and be particularly aware of young
cyclists and pedestrians. In some places, there may be a flashing
amber signal below the ‘School' warning sign which tells you that
there may be children crossing the road ahead. Drive very slowly
until you are clear of the area.
209) Drive carefully and slowly when passing a stationary bus showing a
‘School Bus' sign (see ‘Vehicle markings') as children may be getting
on or off.
210) You MUST stop when a school crossing patrol shows a ‘Stop for
children' sign (see ‘Signals by authorised persons' and ‘Signs giving
orders') Law RTRA sect 28

The Highway Code - Using the road (Reversing)

200)
Choose an appropriate place to manoeuvre. If you need to turn your 
vehicle around, wait until you find a safe place. Try not to reverse 
or turn round in a busy road; find a quiet side road or drive round
a block of side streets.

Visit: Driving test book

201) Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a
driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can.
202)
Look carefully before you start reversing. You should
use all your mirrors
check the ‘blind spot' behind you (the part of the road you cannot
see easily in the mirrors)
check there are no pedestrians (particularly children), cyclists,
other road users or obstructions in the road behind you.
Reverse slowly while
checking all around
looking mainly through the rear window
being aware that the front of your vehicle will swing out as you turn
Get someone to guide you if you cannot see clearly.

203) You MUST NOT reverse your vehicle further than necessary.

The Highway Code - Using the road (Pedestrian crossings)

191) You MUST NOT park on a crossing or in the area covered by the
zig-zag lines. You MUST NOT overtake the moving vehicle nearest
the crossing or the vehicle nearest the crossing which has stopped to
give way to pedestrians.

192)
In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear.
Highway Code - Seat belts and child restraints
193) You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing
is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians
may be crossing between stationary vehicles.
194) Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and do not harass them
by revving your engine or edging forward.
The Highway Code book
The Highway Code
195) Zebra crossings. As you approach a zebra crossing
look out for pedestrians waiting to cross and be ready to slow down
or stop to let them cross
you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing
allow more time for stopping on wet or icy roads
do not wave or use your horn to invite pedestrians across; this could
be dangerous if another vehicle is approaching
be aware of pedestrians approaching from the side of the crossing
A zebra crossing with a central island is two separate crossings
(see Rule 20). Law ZPPPCRGD reg 25
      Signal-controlled crossings
196)
Pelican crossings. These are signal-controlled crossings where flashing amber follows the red ‘Stop’ light. You MUST stop when the red light shows. When the amber light is flashing, you MUST give way to any pedestrians on the crossing. If the amber light is flashing and there are no pedestrians on the crossing, you may proceed with caution. Laws ZPPPCRGD regs 23 & 26 & RTRA sect 25(5)
Highway Code - Seat belts and child restraints
197) Pelican crossings which go straight across the road are one crossing,
even when there is a central island. You MUST wait for pedestrians
who are crossing from the other side of the island.  
Law ZPPPCRGD reg 26 & RTRA sect 25(5) 

Visit: Driving test bundle package
198) Give way to anyone still crossing after the signal for vehicles has
changed to green. This advice applies to all crossings.
199) Toucan, puffin and equestrian crossings. These are similar to pelican
crossings, but there is no flashing amber phase; the light sequence for
traffic at these three crossings is the same as at traffic lights. If the
signal-controlled crossing is not working, proceed with extreme
caution.

Advanced driving lessons- Become a safe, responsible driver

Britain's roads are getting busier and busier, and more motor accidents are happening each year as a result. There are about 40,000 serious road accidents in the UK every year. In most cases, accidents happen due to driver error. Driver negligence can lead to devastation. Most people think of themselves as good drivers, but no matter how old experience driver you can still make mistakes.

So DSA says- "There is more to driving or riding safely than just passing your driving test or riding test. You should consider doing further training, leading to an advanced driving test. Passing an advanced test shows that you have developed your driving or riding skills to keep you and your passengers safe."

So get an advanced driving qualification. The more you know about driving, the better you can control your car in a dangerous road situation. High quality advanced training certainly reduces accidents risk very substantially.


The standards for advanced driving or riding involve:
  • The ability to control the position and speed of the vehicle safely.
  • Using road and traffic conditions to make reasonable progress.
  • A standard of driving based on concentration, observation, anticipation and planning.
  • Co-ordination with good handling skills.
  • The vehicle at the right place on the road.
  • Travelling at the right speed with the correct gear engaged.
  • Stopping safely in the distance that can be seen to be clear.

If you apply advance driving techniques
  • Fuel consumption will be better.
  • Level of stress while driving will be reduced.
  • Better skills will lead to safety on roads.
  • Your vehicle will be less harmed.
And you will get pleasure from driving!

Advanced driving lessons are not just for older, even experienced drivers also go for this course if they would like to drive more safely, economically, with a better consciousness for other road users and who wants to enjoy driving. This training is also ideal for those who wish to make their career in driving. Another advantage of advanced driving test is you get discounts on your vehicle insurance!

If you want to progress your driving skills further there are a number of organisations which offer an advanced driving test and should be able to offer you training and advice on how best to prepare.

  • Responsibility towards other road users
  • Confidence in driving the car on you own

  • Correctly insured and licensed vehicle, displaying L plates (except for taxi and Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) part two tests), which is appropriate from test point of view.
  • You will be not allowed to give test and you will lose your fee if you forget or don't carry photo card and licence.
  • If you have an old-style paper licence, you must take your signed driver licence and a valid passport - no other form of photographic identification will be accepted if you don't take both parts of your licence.

Independent driving element in driving test will come in effect from Oct 2010. Independent driving is tasking the candidate to drive for approximately 10 mins either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both.

Independent driving is when the learner get out on the road He/She will be driving alone and they need to know how to drive safely. Simultaneously it is very important for a learner to look at the signs at the time of driving because that's in normal life what the learners are going to do. It actually puts theory and practical test together. It makes you think about the signs, makes you think independently and makes you feel much more confident. Licensing Agency (DVLA), as it may take up to 15 days. Your test may have to rearrange if this situation takes place.

You can take someone along with you on your driving test. Generally it will be the person from whom you have learn driving, relative or a friend but they should be over 16 years old then only they can take part. The person is only allowed to see how you perform during your driving test.

The main aim behind is to feel yourself confident and comfortable while driving. If you wish to take someone with you, it is suggested that you should ask your driving instructor to accompany you, because after completion of your test they can advice you on how to improve your driving; whether you pass or fail.On the day of your driving practical test, the examiner will be looking only to see that are you able drive safely when you are taken to the road demonstrating that you have.

The Highway Code - Using the road ( Roundabouts )

184) On approaching a roundabout take notice and act on all the
information available to you, including traffic signs, traffic lights
and lane markings which direct you into the correct lane. You
should
use Mirrors – Signal – Manoeuvre at all stages
decide as early as possible which exit you need
to take
give an appropriate signal (see Rule 186). Time your signals
so as not to confuse other road users
get into the correct lane
adjust your speed and position to fit in with traffic conditions
be aware of the speed and position of all the road users
around you.

Visit: Driving test information

185)
When reaching the roundabout you should
give priority to traffic approaching from your right, unless directed otherwise by signs, road markings or traffic lights
check whether road markings allow you to enter the roundabout without giving way. If so, proceed, but still look to the right before joining
watch out for all other road users already on the roundabout; be aware they may not be signalling correctly or at all
look forward before moving off to make sure traffic in front has moved off.
Highway Code - Alcohol And Drugs
186) Signals and position. When taking the first exit to the left, unless
signs or markings indicate otherwise
signal left and approach in the left-hand lane
keep to the left on the roundabout and continue signalling
left to leave
When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs
or markings indicate otherwise
signal right and approach in the right-hand lane
keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change
lanes to exit the roundabout
signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you
want
When taking any intermediate exit, unless signs or markings
indicate
otherwise
select the appropriate lane on approach to the roundabout 
you should not normally need to signal on approach
stay in this lane until you need to alter course to exit the
roundabout
signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you
want
When there are more than three lanes at the entrance to a
roundabout, use the most appropriate lane on approach
and through it.
 Visit: Driving theory test
187) In all cases watch out for and give plenty of room to
pedestrians who may be crossing the approach and exit
roads
traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout, especially
vehicles intending to leave by the next exit
traffic which may be straddling lanes or positioned
incorrectly
motorcyclists
cyclists and horse riders who may stay in the left-hand lane
and signal right if they intend to continue round the
roundabout. Allow them to do so
long vehicles (including those towing trailers). These might
have to take a different course or straddle lanes either
approaching or on the roundabout because of their length.
Watch out for their signals.
188) Mini-roundabouts. Approach these in the same way as normal
roundabouts. All vehicles MUST pass round the central markings
except large vehicles which are physically incapable of doing so.
Remember, there is less space to manoeuvre and less time to signal.
Avoid making U-turns at mini-roundabouts. Beware of others
doing this. Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10(1),
& 16(1) 

Visit: http://www.theory-test.co.uk

189) At double mini-roundabouts treat each roundabout separately and
give way to traffic from the right.
190)
Multiple roundabouts. At some complex junctions, there may be a series of mini-roundabouts at each intersection. Treat each mini-roundabout separately and follow the normal rules.
