- Learn your arm signals and use them before turning right, left, overtaking or stopping.
- Look behind before signalling or manoeuvring.
- Never pull out from a junction without checking the main road is clear.
- On many roads you’ve got your own cycle lane. If there is a cycle lane use it.
- Ride like a professional, obey traffic light signals and road signs.
- Give way to pedestrians when turning from one road into another.
- Stop for pedestrians at crossings.
- Stop for the red light at traffic lights.
- Give horses or other animals plenty of room. Don’t sound your bell or horn as you could scare them.
