Why this matters during your driving lesson
By recognizing the situation early, you can act predictably and give yourself time to look properly. While practising, say out loud what you see, who has priority, and how much space you need.
Test tip
Look far ahead, check your mirrors, and only make a decision once the whole situation is clear. Safe, controlled action is more important than reacting quickly.
