How To Do A Right Turn

 

On your driving test when performing a Basic Right Turn Manouevre the examiner will expect you to:

  • Use the MSM routine in good time
  • Brake gently and in good time
  • Position your vehicle correctly - choose the correct lane where there are lane markings and in a one-way street
  • Look for obstructions, traffic and pedestrians.

The examiner will also be looking to see that you:

  • Read Stop signs, give Way signs, etc
  • Accurately, assess the speed of traffic.

REMEMBER - When performing any right turn watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians, as they are not always easy to see. If pedestrians are crossing a road into which you are turning then you must give way to them if they are already on the road.
