This week’s Pedestrian Safety subtopic offers some key tips to keep in mind and mistakes to avoid when making a right turn. Remembering the basics will help ensure that your right turn will occur safely and without incident.

Prior to turning the vehicle, operators should physically “rock and roll” forward and back in the driver’s seat to see around their windshield post, mirror heads and other obstructions to the front or the side of their vehicle.

This “Pedestrian Awareness” sub-topic focuses on the importance of always being aware of cyclists on the road. It’s important to give cyclist some extra room and remember to pass slowly and with caution.
