    Uploaded by

    This document provides guidance on how to safely turn right from a major road onto a minor road. Key points include: checking for clues in advance to identify the junction and plan; applying the MSM routine (mirror, signal, position, speed, look); checking for traffic behind and signaling intentions clearly; positioning close to the center line; reducing speed on approach; checking mirrors and waiting if the road is not clear rather than crossing the center line unsafely; steering smoothly through the turn; and checking mirrors after the turn before accelerating away.

    Turning Right (Major to Minor)


    Turning Left (Major to Minor). MSPSL
    What How By the end

    Recap: Objective:

    How to approach & negotiate a right hand junction safely. Look at the main points of turning right and how the MSM routine should be applied, followed by on road practice. Be able to turn right from a major into a minor road under full control and with due regard for other road users/pedestrians.

    Main Points:
    Advance Info.

    Look for clues on the approach to help identify the junction & plan ahead: Amount of traffic, vehicles turning into/emerging from road, warning/direction signs, road markings, traffic lights, breaks in lines of houses/parked cars. Junctions are hazards - MSM routine should be applied (MSPSL) Check speed/position of vehicles behind - Interior and right (overtakers). Your intention to other road users/pedestrians - clearly and in good time. As close to centre line as is safe - confirms intent to turn right and allows traffic to pass on your left if enough room. Reduce speed on approach - the less you can see, the slower you should go. Slowest just before the turn and in correct gear (2nd) approx 2 car lengths before turn. Ahead, Mirrors (R), Right - Depending on what you see - 2 choices, Go or Wait If road ahead is obviously clear, check mirrors (overtakers) and into new road for pedestrians crossing/obstructions etc. If there is oncoming traffic or you are in any doubt at all - don't make the turn. Stop with nose level with centre line. Wait for a safe gap (pedestrian guide). When safe gap - still need to check for overtakers and into new road. You MUST NOT cross the centre line if you cannot enter the minor road safely.

    Hazard Mirrors Signal Position Speed

    Look Go

    Wait

    Steering

    Not too early (cut corner) or too late (clip/mount kerb). Aim to finish in normal driving position in new road. Check mirrors and if safe, accelerate away.
