Time
to go so check the gear stick is in neutral and start your car up. Whether
you are new to the Highway Code or a veteran you have probably heard the phrase;
Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre. First thing first then, check all the mirrors,
next have a good look over your shoulder, this is important as mirrors do not show every angle of the road, those areas not covered are called blind spots, imagine a little blind man living inside your wing mirror, whenever you forget to check over your shoulder he climbs out and begins angrily rapping on the glass with his cane, got an image? hold it... Ok and finally, if appropriate, signal to let others
know you want to move out. Who knows, if its busy somebody might flash their lights to invite you out
(contrary to reports, courtesy on the road isn’t dead yet). A quick note here about flashing your lights or using your horn, only do this to let other road users know you are there (remember this) flashing your lights or waving your hands in a courtesy gesture could confuse other road users. The Demon Road: A Theory Test Novel will be released on June 1st. Urban driving next time...
