Emerging from a junction to turn left

For description of how to emerge left from a junction. Read the notes below 

How to emerge left from a junction. useing MSPSL -

Mirrors Signal-Position Speed  Look

• Mirrors
• Main mirror - be aware of any other road users behind you who might move left before you do.
• Left mirror - be aware of any other road users on your left/attempting to pass on your left.
• Look forward to be aware of where your junction is.
•  
• Signal
  • The signal should be put on at a safe distance from the junction.
  • If too early, other road users might think you are not going as far as the junction.
  • If too late, other road users will not be given sufficient warning.
  • The signal does not always need to be applied immediately after looking in your mirrors. Sometimes it will be necessary to delay the signal due to a hazard on approach to your junction

  Position

  • For most junctions to the left you should be approximately one metre out from the kerb and should follow the kerb as it bends to the end of the road.
  • For some ''sharp'' junctions you will not need to steer left untill you start to emerge.
  • The position can vary depending on the junction type and any hazards near/at the junction.
   

  Speed

  • For most junctions the speed should be reduced to a crawl as you reach the end of the road.
  • For some ''open'' junctions (junctions where you can see the new road clearly before you reach the end of your road) you could emerge at 10mph.
  • The speed can vary depending on the junction type and any hazards near/at the junction.

    Look

    • As you approach the end of the road look both right and left to be aware of other road users on the new road.
    • Just before you are about to emerge, use your left door mirror to make sure of any other road users who might have positioned to pass on your left.
    • You MUST NOT emerge if this would cause road users on the new road to slow or change direction.
• Mirrors as soon as you r in the new road and before you increase speed check your interior mirror ( for vehicles moving behind )  and your right door mirror ( for vehicles that may be overtaking )  then increase your speed to a suitable speed for the road and road conditions and keep within the speed limit

   

   Emerging from a junction to turn right

   

  How to emerge right from a junction. Think of  MSPSL

  Mirrors Signal-Position Speed  Look.

  • Mirrors
  • Main mirror - be aware of any other road users behind you who might move right before you do.
  • Right mirror - be aware of any other road users on your right/attempting to pass on your right.
  • Look forward to be aware of where your junction is.
  •  
  •  
  • Signal
    • The signal should be put on at a safe distance from the junction.
    • If too early, other road users might think you are not going as far as the junction.
    • If too late, other road users will not be given sufficient warning.
    • The signal does not always need to be applied immediately after looking in your mirrors. Sometimes it will be necessary to delay the signal due to a hazard on approach to your junction

  Position

  • For most junctions to the right you should be out towards the centreline (but not over it) just before you emerge.
  • The position can vary depending on the junction type and any hazards near/at the junction.

  Speed

  • For most junctions the speed should be reduced to a crawl as you reach the end of the road.
  • For some ''open'' junctions (junctions where you can see the new road clearly before you reach the end of your road) you could emerge at 10mph.

  Look

  • As you approach the end of the road look both right and left to be aware of other road users on the new road.
  • Just before you are about to emerge, use your right door mirror to make sure of any other road users who might have positioned to pass on your right.
  • You MUST NOT emerge if this would cause road users on the new road to slow or change direction
