The aim of this lesson is to legally and safely turn right at an intersection with a Give Way sign. You’ll need to be driving in a 50kph zone on a two-way road with a Give Way sign and with intersections to the left and right (e.g. a T-intersection)
Driver actions
- Check all the mirrors
- Check your blind spot for traffic by looking over your shoulder
- Indicate right for at least three seconds before starting to turn
- Position your car to the left of the centre line or (if the road splits into two lanes at the intersection) the right-hand lane
- Scan the intersection for hazards
- Slow the car down before the intersection
- Be prepared to stop and give way to both your right and left
- When turning the corner keep the car in the correct position and lane and with an appropriate speed
- Check the mirrors once you’ve completed the turn
- Accelerate to an appropriate speed after completing the turn
Perform the tasks at least three times.
