Starting to Move
Before starting to move, the driver must make sure the maneuver is safe and does not create an obstruction for other road users. This topic covers observation, signalling, the need to give way and safely joining traffic.
Maneuvers
The essentials
This topic covers starting from rest, changing lanes, turns, U-turns and reversing. The key idea is to assess the maneuver in advance, take the correct position, signal as required and avoid obstructing other road users.
What to remember
Before any maneuver, the driver must make sure it is safe, signal in good time and take the correct position on the carriageway. A turn signal does not give priority; it only communicates intention. During lane changes, turns, U-turns and reversing, the main questions are whose path you cross or obstruct and whether the maneuver is permitted at that location.

Lane Changing
A lane change is a maneuver from one lane to another. This topic teaches how to assess the adjacent lane in advance, maintain safe clearance, signal and correctly determine priority when several vehicles are changing lanes at the same time.
Right Turn
When turning right, it is important to take the correct position in advance, reduce speed and watch for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. This topic helps explain the permitted path and the need to give way at different intersections.
Left Turn
A left turn requires the correct initial position, assessment of oncoming traffic and giving way where necessary. This topic teaches how to build a safe path while accounting for traffic lights, signs, trams, pedestrians and other vehicles.
U-Turn
A U-turn reverses the vehicle’s direction of travel and requires sufficient space and visibility. This topic helps recognize locations and conditions where the maneuver is permitted or may be dangerous and prohibited.
Reversing
When reversing, the driver must ensure the maneuver is completely safe and does not create an obstruction. This topic covers visibility assessment, using another person’s help when necessary and locations where reversing may not be permitted.
