Other Types of Vehicle

Key Points

• 1

  Large vehicles have bigger blind spots — avoid sitting alongside them, especially on the left.

• 2

  Give lorries extra room when they are turning. They may need to swing out before turning left.

• 3

  Buses may pull out from stops — give way to them when it is safe to do so.

• 4

  Be patient behind agricultural vehicles on country roads — only overtake when it is safe.

• 5

  Trams run on fixed tracks and cannot steer around you. Never park on or block tram lines.

• 6

  Emergency vehicles with blue flashing lights and sirens have right of way — pull over safely.

• 7

  Powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters may use the road — treat them as slow-moving vehicles.
