A hazard routine is necessary for drivers because situations can change rapidly on the road and the routine helps ensure that you know what's happening all around.
When approaching a junction to turn left or right, you should make your first mirror check:
Just before you turn the corner
Before you give a signal
Just after you give a signal
After starting to slow down
You can always proceed at a green traffic light as long as you have checked your mirrors and given a signal.
In the Hazard Routine, the letters L.A.D.A. stand for:
Look, Assess, Decide, Act
Look & Always Drive Actively
Look, Act, Decide, Assess
Listen And then Drive Away
When turning right from a main road into a side road the L.A.D. part of your routine would include some of the following. Please tick all correct answers.
Checking your blind spot for overtakers
Giving a signal
Pressing the brakes to show your brake lights
Looking for pedestrians who are crossing the road you are turning into
Checking for obstructions in the road you are turning into
Selecting first gear or Drive
