Keep a Safe Distance
Giving cyclists enough space is one of the simplest and most effective ways to avoid accidents.
Always leave at least 1.5 meters between your vehicle and the cyclist when overtaking, to avoid side collisions or startling them.
Be Cautious Around Intersections & Narrow Lanws
Cyclists are harder to spot near junctions and may need to move unpredictably in tight spaces—stay alert and patient.
Use your indicators well in advance so cyclists can anticipate your movement near intersections and turns.
Respect Cyclists’ Right to the Road
Cyclists have the legal right to use the road and should be treated with respect at all times.
Cyclists may take the lane when needed—don’t try to force them into unsafe positions.
Safety tips
To ensure safety while using modern vehicles, it is crucial to stay informed about the latest vehicle technologies and safety features.
Regularly reading your vehicle's manual and following the manufacturer's guidelines will help you understand and utilise these advancements effectively.
