Now we are going to say to you some tips to take a drive safe:
- Drivers shouldn’t enter the advanced stop line box when the light is red. This space is reserved for the safety of cyclists and you maybe liable for a £100 fixed penalty and three points on your licence;
- Keep a safe distance from cyclists and don’t attempt to overtake when there is not enough space. Give as much space as you might for another car. Cyclists might use the middle of the lane if they feel it’s too narrow for cars to overtake, so hang back if you can’t pass safely;
- Make sure you check to see if there is anything coming before opening your car door or before turning left or right – they might be filtering through slow moving or stationary traffic;
- Be aware of cyclists when approaching junctions. Some junctions have advanced stop lines to allow cycles to be safely positioned ahead of other traffic. Keep this space free for cyclists. Motorists could be fined £100 and receive three points on their licence for crossing the advanced stop line on a red light;
- Don’t overtake or change lanes unless directed to do so by a road sign. Don’t stop in the tunnel unless instructed to do so or in an emergency. If you break down, get to the walkway and use the emergency phone. Don’t attempt to change a wheel or push your vehicle – wait for assistance.
