| Safe and Responsible Driving |
|
| Use indicators/signals |
|
| Indicators inform other drivers what you want to do so they
can make adjustments accordingly.
Use your indicators, brake lights or hand and arm signals to signal before
turning, changing lanes, slowing down, leaving the road or
coming out of a parking area. Give the correct indication
well before your maneuver and ensure other drivers can see
it.
Check that the way is clear before you act —
giving indication does not mean the road is clear.

| Driving through intersections/crossings |
|
| Slow down as you get close to intersections and look carefully
for traffic, signs (yield sign, stop sign, traffic light, constable
manning the crossing), cyclists and pedestrians.
There are two main types of intersections
Controlled intersections
Uncontrolled intersections |
|
|
|
|
|
| Controlled intersections |
|
| Controlled intersections have traffic
lights, round-about, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic.
If you get green light, drive carefully through the intersection
at a steady speed. If the light has been green for quite some
time, you should get prepared to stop if the light turns yellow.
If you have crossed the stop line when the light gets yellow,
drive through the intersection with caution. When your light
turns red, bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
Slow down or stop at yield sign and wait for the way to get
clear before you drive through the intersection.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop
if you face a stop sign. Drive through the intersection
only when the way is clear. |

| Uncontrolled intersections |
|
| Uncontrolled intersections have no
signs or traffic lights. They are usually found in areas where
there is less traffic. Be cautious while going through intersections.

| Round-abouts |
On entering a roundabout: Before
entering a roundabout, you must indicate a left or right-hand turn
for at least five seconds if you intend making a turn from the roundabout.
On leaving a roundabout: When leaving a roundabout, whether
you are turning left, right or going straight ahead, you must
always indicate when you are about to exit.
