A hazard is any situation that could involve adjusting your speed or changing course. Look well ahead for road signs, parked vehicles, junctions, cyclists, pedestrians, animals, roadworks and changes in road conditions.
Allow time and space
- Keep your eyes moving and look well ahead.
- Check regularly on what is following you.
- Watch for clues about what may happen next.
- Drive only as fast as you can stop within the clear distance you can see.
Approaching a bend or junction, ask whether you can see the full picture, whether your speed and position are right, and whether you could stop if necessary.
