If you are driving along the road (on the left lane) and want to switch to right lane – quickly check / glimpse the right mirror to check if it is safe to do so, if it’s safe – signal right and change the lane.
It is not logical to change to right lane without checking what is happening behind on your right side, so according to logic you might check your right mirror before doing that
To find right position before doing right turn manoeuvre – position your car’s right mirror inline with side road’s central broken line
To be able to measure how wide your car is – check wideness of your windscreen and think if windscreen can go through your obstructions on sides means that car also can do that
When you position your car in right lane – right windscreen wiper has to finish on road middle broken line. If it is so and you look to your right mirror you will see that car positioned at the correct distant from road broken line.
Driver uses 4 senses during driving and in driving assessment – vision,
sound, smell.
Think it is work and steering wheel
is like a mouse in computer
For effective driving use MSPL all
the time. Only on T junctions and roundabouts LADA routine could be more useful
If driver seems vehicle in interior and side mirror (left or right) – the vehicle behind is near.
If driver seems the vehicle only in interior mirror but not in any of side mirorrs – vehicle behind is far.
Such assessment could be helpful when driver makes decision on whether to change lanes or not.
While driving look far ahead and try to assess well ahead as much as u can. Same as when playing chess it is important to assess and predict how the current combination would develop.
If sharp bend on the right – keep car close to kerb / sort of – drive into the kerb – as it goes
If sharp bend on the left – keep car close to road’s central broken line / sort of – drive into the road’s central broken line – as it goes
