- Read Highway Code rules 219–225 on other road users and rules 300–307 on trams.
- Remember: if you cannot see a large vehicle's mirrors, its driver cannot see you.
- Learn which colours of flashing light mean what: blue, green and amber.
Common questions
Why should I hang back from a large vehicle at a junction?
Long vehicles may need to move out to the right before turning left, or use the whole road. Staying well back lets you see past them and gives them room to turn.
What does a flashing amber light on a vehicle mean?
It is a slow-moving vehicle, such as a gritter, a recovery vehicle or a powered wheelchair or mobility scooter on a dual carriageway. Take extra care and be ready to slow down.
