| Stopping |
|
 Anticipation is important; you should see stops ahead, check the
mirrors and begin braking early, stopping smoothly. Sit
properly so that braking is easy. Use your right foot for
both brake and accelerator pedals so you won’t step on both
pedals at the same time. Press the brake pedal evenly.
Do not press the clutch or release the gears from a
distance. You will have to brake harder in that case and
will find if more difficult to control the vehicle.
Come to a complete stop at all stop signs and red
traffic lights. Wait until the way is clear before
entering the intersection.

| Stopping for school buses |
|
|
All school buses are yellow in
colour and have words ‘School Bus’ written prominently.
On a two way road, traffic from both directions should
stop at a safe distance when children are getting off a
school bus. Move after the bus has started moving.

| Stopping for pedestrian crossings |
|
 Pedestrian crossings - also
called "zebra crossing" - let pedestrians safely
cross roads where there are no traffic lights. Drivers,
including cyclists, must stop and let all pedestrians
cross. Pedestrians have the right of way.
