Hand signals

Note: Hand signals should be given a few moment before the action being indicated.

I.E. giving a right turn hand signal when you are already turning to the right would be considered poorly timed. The lead time before the signal translated to reaction and decision making time for the other road users.

Handbrake

To engage the handbrake:

pull it up without pressing the button

To release the handbrake:

Lift the handle while pressing the button. Keep the button pressed in and carry the handle all the way down. When this is done  the handbrake light on the dashboard should turn off.

Rules for Driving on a Dual Carriageway

  1. Keep Left Unless Overtaking
    On a dual carriageway, drivers should always keep to the left lane unless overtaking. The right lane is reserved for overtaking slower vehicles or for preparing to turn right (where permitted). After overtaking, you must return to the left lane as soon as it is safe. Consistently staying in the right lane without overtaking is discouraged and may obstruct faster-moving traffic. Proper lane discipline ensures smoother traffic flow and reduces the risk of accidents.

  2. Observe Speed Limits
    Follow posted speed limits. Dual carriageways often have higher limits but can vary depending on the area.

  3. Use Mirrors and Signals
    Always check mirrors and signal before changing lanes or overtaking.

  4. No Stopping on the Carriageway
    Do not stop, reverse, or make U-turns on a dual carriageway, except in an emergency.

  5. Entry and Exit via Slip Roads Only
    Join and leave the carriageway using proper entry (on-ramps) and exit (off-ramps). Never cross the central reservation.

  6. Watch for Other Road Users
    Be alert for motorcycles, fast-moving vehicles, and changing traffic conditions.
