What does this rule or driving tip mean? Anyone who starts moving from a stationary position and joins traffic unexpectedly changes the flow of traffic. The full duty to give way therefore lies with the driver pulling out of the parking space.
How to apply this safely
Check your mirrors and blind spot.
Pay extra attention to cyclists beside parked cars.
Indicate and only pull away when there is enough space.
Driving lesson and test tip
After a parking exercise, repeat your full departure procedure. The exercise is only complete once you are safely moving in the traffic flow.
Remember: when pulling out of a parking space, wait until the roadway, cycle lane and pavement are safely clear.
