But don’t encourage jaywalking (crossing between intersections) by stopping and inviting the pedestrian to cross. The car behind you may not be expecting you to stop and may crash into you. Drivers in the other lanes may not see the pedestrian crossing in front of your vehicle and may hit the person.

Never try to share a lane with a motorcycle. A motorcycle needs the whole lane to travel safely. Allow plenty of space when you pass a motorcycle because your vehicle may throw dirt or water in the rider’s face. Increase your following distance behind a motorcycle to at least three seconds. Motorcycles can stop very quickly and motorcyclists can skid and fall under poor road conditions. You need to leave plenty of room to stop safely.

#20. Motorcyclists often ride in the left part of their lane because
Don’t assume that a motorcyclist in the left part of the lane is planning to turn left. Motorcyclists often ride in the left part of the lane to make themselves more visible because motorcycles can be hard to see, especially at night, at dusk or in heavy traffic. Also, when a motorcyclist is riding behind a large vehicle (such as a bus or large truck), he or she may ride in the left part of the lane to see beyond the large vehicle and view the road ahead.

As you pass pedestrians, cyclists or other vehicles, allow at least one metre of space (more if you are travelling at higher speeds). Increase your side space margins even more when visibility or road conditions are poor.

If you pass a large vehicle or make a lane change in front of one, leave extra room before you merge back in front of the vehicle. Make sure you can see the truck’s headlights in your rear‑view mirror before you reenter that lane, and maintain your speed once you get there. Never pass when you are approaching the top of a hill. You don’t know what hazards might be on the other side of the hill.
#28. If you arrive at the scene of a crash, how can you render assistance?
If other drivers have been involved in a crash, they may need assistance. You may be able to help. First, make sure your vehicle is parked away from the crash, where it won’t obstruct traffic or emergency vehicles. Use warning devices such as reflective triangles to alert other drivers that there has been a crash. Call for emergency services if necessary and stay with injured people until help arrives. However, don’t move injured people unless there is danger of fire or explosion; moving them might make their injuries worse.
#29. Why should you increase your following distance behind a bus or large truck?
Large vehicles operate quite differently than cars do. A large vehicle can prevent you from seeing hazards ahead. In rainy weather, a large vehicle can spray dirt or water onto your windshield, reducing your vision. Its tires may also spray up rocks that could hit your vehicle. If you are stopped facing uphill behind a large vehicle, it may roll backward when its driver releases the brake. For your safety, always increase your following distance behind a bus or large truck.
