***Safety advice for driving on a motorway*** Keep left unless overtaking – return to the left-hand lane after overtaking, not forgetting to indicate, and check your blind spot Follow the two-second rule – give yourself enough time and space to react Adjust for the conditions – slow down and follow the four-second rule if the road is slippery or visibility is poor. Control your speed Indicate in good time before changing lanes Check your mirrors often – your situation will change quickly on the motorway Take extra care around trucks and other large vehicles – they have bigger blind spots and slower reaction times Anticipate whats coming next by sweeping the road ahead visually – look 2 seconds ahead, 4 seconds ahead, and 12 seconds ahead, and check your mirrors. Only use the hard shoulder for emergencies Take regular breaks – about every two hours, to stop yourself becoming tired behind the wheel
