Before moving off from a stop, a good habit is to:
- A.Rev the engine loudly to warn traffic
- B.Check your mirrors and do a head check for traffic beside and behind you
- C.Release the clutch as quickly as possible
- D.Look down at the instrument panel the whole time
Correct answer
B. Check your mirrors and do a head check for traffic beside and behind you
Why
Mirrors do not show everything, so check mirrors and turn your head to check blind areas before moving off or changing position. This confirms the space around you is actually clear.
