Don’t move back into the left lane too early, as you might cause a collision with the vehicle you’re overtaking or force it to brake dangerously.

Be extra careful when you’re driving a vehicle that is longer-than-normal as you will need more space.

Alcohol makes you tired and slower in general, hence the name depressant. It negatively affects your driving abilities in many different ways.

For example, alcohol reduces your ability to cope with several things simultaneously such as responding to traffic signals or avoiding pedestrians on the road.

It’s very important that you check the brake fluid level regularly. If it drops below the minimum level, it could lead to a loss of braking efficiency and even complete brake failure.

This doesn’t mean that other fluid levels are unimportant. You should check all fluid levels regularly.

You are allowed to drive on, across or outside edge lines for several reasons, including when overtaking vehicles: 

• making a U-turn from the centre of the road
• waiting to turn right

Always keep to the left of the central island when travelling in a roundabout.

Black letters or symbols with a white background are mandatory signs, and must be obeyed.

In general you should avoid overtaking another vehicle on its left-hand side. However, if safe, you may overtake on the left side of a vehicle:

• waiting to turn right
• making a U-turn from the centre of the road
• That is stationary.

Checking the mirrors isn't enough to see all potential dangers - you should always check the blind spot as well.

Don’t drive too close to the vehicle in front of you. Leave enough space to be able to react, slow down and avoid trouble.

If the brake warning light comes on, you should have the vehicle checked immediately.

Most of the time, the brake warning light indicates that your vehicle has a low brake fluid level, but the brakes could be leaking which may result in you being unable to brake at all.

You aren't allowed to overtake any vehicle that has stopped or is stopping at any crossing. A stopped vehicle is likely to have stopped to let pedestrians cross, so don't pass even if you can't see the pedestrians.

You’re not allowed to make a U-turn where this sign is displayed.

Buses with a Give Way sign that are signalling their attention to pull out from the kerb (or another stopping place) has priority over other vehicles in built-up areas with a speed limit of no more than 70 km/h.

It's important that you scan the area first so you can prioritise your actions - you need to assess whether it is safe to approach the scene or not, see if there are any injured persons, and call 000.

This sign indicates you must angle park.

When angle parking, park at a 45 degree angle front to kerb unless otherwise signed. A 45 degree angle is indicated in this case.

Too many people in a vehicle is dangerous and illegal (e.g. people sitting on the floor or laps). All passengers should be seated and wearing seatbelts (or other restraints).

Take regular breaks (at least every 2 hours) throughout the trip, and eat light snacks to help keep your blood sugar level steady. If you feel tired, pull over and take a nap until you feel awake and alert again.

You must always signal when making a turn, even when you're alone on the road.

You must not stop or park in a bus, transit or truck lane.

Drink driving is one of the main causes of road fatalities. Alcohol affects your driving abilities (e.g. your reactions, your judgement) and makes you overconfident.

You react slower and therefore collide at a higher speed than you would if you were sober.
