SECTION C - TRAFFIC RULES & REGULATIONS

KEEP-LEFT RULE
- Always keep left unless overtaking or turn right, even if you are travelling at speed limit
LANE DISCIPLINE
- Give signal at least 3 seconds in advance before switching lane
- In traffic hold-ups, remain in lane Do not weave in and out of lanes
OVERTAKING AND BEING OVERTAKEN

- Difficult aspect is to estimate space ahead and also the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles.
- Check your mirrors and blind spots before changing lane to the overtaking lane.
- Check for any traffic sign (No Overtaking) or road markings (Double white line) which forbid overtaking.
- Always overtake on right except when:
- vehicle in front intends to turn right
- you wish to turn left
- queueing vehicles on your right lane moves slower than your lane
- Return to appropriate lane after overtaking when overtaken vehicle can be seen in rear view mirror
- No overtaking at pedestrian crossing, road junction, a bend, up-slope, double white lines, road narrowing
- Do not overtake if it would cause another vehicle to reduce speed or swerve
- When been overtaken, do not increase speed slow down if necessary for overtaking to be completed sooner
- Only overtake ne vehicle at a time, and it should be completed between 5-10 seconds.
- Do not overtake if the vehicle in front of you increases speed or intends to overtake another vehicle
- Oncoming traffic poses a great danger because it is difficult to estimate their speed and head-on collisions are often fatal.
- Correct method of overtaking:
1. Check traffic ahead
7. Tap horn (if necessary to warn the vehicle in front)
2. Check traffic behind
8. Check mirrors
3. Signal right
9. Signal left
4. Check blind spot
10. Move left
5. Move right
11. Cancel signal
6. Accelerate
12. Resume normal speed
ROAD HOGGING
- It is driving at very slow speed especially on the right-hand or centre of the road which would hinder traffic flow and may
cause other vehicles to overtake dangerously on the left.
GIVE WAY RULE AT ROAD JUNCTIONS (WITHOUT TRAFFIC LIGHT SIGNALS)
- Slow down gradually and give way to traffic on major road when approaching a junction.
- Must stop if there is a stop line or sign.
- Vehicles going straight have to be given way, followed by vehicles on your right side.
- Vehicles turning right have to give way to vehicles from all directions.

PRIORITY TABLE OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY

Vehicles on the major road
Vehicles going straight
Vehicles on the right
Vehicles turning left
Vehicles turning right

- After turning right from a single lane street, take up the extreme right lane (in your direction) first before changing lanes
- Due to the length of the vehicle, do not turn at an acute angle that is too close to the corner of the turn as the rear portion
of your vehicle may strike against the kerb or other objects, even motorcyclists or pedestrians

- Leaving your side or parking lights on when parking in poorly lit roads at night is advisable

- The interior lights reduce your external visibility
- Motorcyclists are required to keep their headlights switched on, day or night
ALCOHOL
- Alcohol and drugs affect your reaction and ability to drive carefully. Reaction time increases, thus reaction is slower.
- Legal limits: 80mg per 100ml of blood, 35ug per 100ml of breath
- Even when the alcohol level is under the legal limit, the driver can still be convicted if it is shown that he/she did not have

- Adjust your speed according to the conditions of the road

- You should reduce speed when approaching:
* a built-up area
* a school area
* a bend
* children or animals
* brow of a hill
* a low-visibility area
* the end of an expressway
* a traffic junction
- You should accelerate more when:
* entering an expressway
* overtaking another vehicle

* a narrow road
* an oily patch
* a down-slope

* a wet or flooded area

* a stationary bus or car
* a pedestrian-crossing

* moving off into a major road

FOLLOWING BEHIND
- Following another vehicle too closely is an act of tailgating
- Tailgating gives you lesser time to react and lesser distance to stop in time
- Tailgating causes stress to the driver in front of you. It is a rude gesture
- The safe following distance is to maintain one car length for every 16km/h of your speed
- Alternatively you may apply the two-second rule
- When following behind, always watch for the brake lights of the vehicle in front of you and also the traffic ahead of it
TWO SECOND RULE (AND FOUR SECOND RULE)
- The two-second rule is a rule of thumb intended to maintain a safe following distance when driving in good condition.
- Your vehicle should pass a stationary object (e.g. sign or lamp post) at least 2 seconds later than the vehicle in front
- The two-second rule works at any speed, but for adverse condition like rain or fog, four seconds are applied instead.

- The stopping distance consists of reaction distance + braking distance.
- The reaction distance will increase if the driver is tired, tipsy or drowsy.
- The braking distance will increase if the tyre is worn, the road surface is slippery or there is more load.
REVERSING
- Check all mirrors and blind spots
- Turn your head and check the rear windscreen
- If in doubt when view is restricted, seek help
- It is an offence to reverse from a side road to a main road
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
- Pedestrians have the right-of-way at pedestrians crossings

- Give way and stop if necessary for pedestrians, even if you have the right of way
- Watch out for pedestrians who may suddenly appear e.g. running children, alighted passengers from buses
- Maintain as wide a distance from a pedestrian or cyclist as possible when driving slowly pass them
- Slow down to avoid splashing water when driving over a pool of water
GENERAL
- The horn should only be used to avoid an accident. It is an offence to use it unnecessarily at some areas e.g. hospital
- You must give way to emergency vehicles with sirens on
- Do not turn on the music at an excessively loud level which can cause you not to hear honks to avoid an accident
- You should not look at other places than the road ahead except to take quick glances at mirrors e.g. turning your head to
