olidavey Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 By angled start do you mean from behind a parked car?If so this is how I did it today,Check mirrorsWatch right mirrorWhen clear, lifesaverIndicateglance back and pull awayAccelerate hard, you dont want to cause another road user to slow down as its a automatic fail.

Katie Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You don't need to indicate if there is no other traffic around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiisecondcreep Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You don't need to indicate if there is no other traffic around I was told the examiner counts as other traffic therefore on your test you must indicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkeh9 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You don't need to indicate if there is no other traffic around Since when? can you guarantee there isn't a car coming around a bend? I'd indicate even if I was the only person around for miles tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd indicate even if I was the only person around for miles tbh You can never be sure there is no one around. For the sake of flicking a switch why not use it?

TC Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I dont indicate if noone else is around. But classing the examiner as another road user i'd deffinately use them on your test, or if your in any doubt.Don't forget to turn them off as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I would deffo indicate on a test, but usually I dont indicate much at all, generally if I feel someone may benefit from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd indicate even if I was the only person around for miles tbh If there's nobody to see it, the indicate is pointless. So says common sense, The Highway Code, ADIs and the DSA examiners bible.

Comrade Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 still rather just flick that lil black button to show the examiner who is essentially behind you your intentions. Certainly not gonna risk it on such a small thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Only indicate if someone would benefit from it" Is what I was told, so I don't think I indicated on test but can't be sure, it's all a bit of a blur.
