Badger08 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 'noon all!I have got my MOD2 coming up in just over a weeks time and i have been visulaising certain procedures to drill them in mentally, however there are 2 areas that are a little grey when i read what others have posted, these are junction/traffic lights and round abouts (both observatrion issues)A junctions i would...Mirror, signal and reduce speed and stop (minor to major) right left right, pull out cancel indicator, Mirrors, rear glance and accelerateRoundabouts,MSM and lifesaver (if lane positions requires changing) ,left or straight on i would Mirror, indicate and a right hand life saver upone changing road position. right hand turn a left hand lifesaver.The bit i am unsure of is when leaving the junction or traffic lights do i need to make and life savers or rearward glances?Many thanksGaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryme Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 i asked something simliar not long ago...when you move from a stop you should do a lifesaver/backwards glance over both shoulders. i.e at traffic lights and also at junctions if you come to a complete stop.when leaving a roundabout after moving off from a completey stop, i dont think doing rearward glances are neccessary.im sure somebody else will chime in.

MattB Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The procedure is OSM/PSL when coming to a junction/roundabout etc.Observations - left right mirrorSignalMove into your new lane Position ready to turn BUT BEFORE YOU MOVE - LIFESAVERSpeed - adjust itLook - if it's clear then go (at a give way) if not, stopMoving from the junction you do not need to check mirrors or look behind.Out of the junction - cancel indicator, mirror check and away. No lifesaver.Remember there is an extra lifesaver when turning right major to minor.Pulling away after stopping at lights you just need a left right mirror check, do not need to look behind.You check mirrors and do a lifesaver and when you sacrifice that safe position in the centre of the lane either moving left or right. You check the mirrors when you change speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
