Interacting with other road users

Role 4 of the National Standard refers to driving safely and responsibly in the traffic system.  This video demonstrates the competency required of cooperating with other road users by being aware of and predicting likely actions of other road users.  However, do look carefully at the signage and markings on the road.  We need our pupils to start connecting dots within roles of the standard.  In this case, role 3 which refers to using the road in accordance with the Highway Code and complying with signs and road markings.  Rewind the clip and pay close attention to the signs and road markings.

On your BIG TOM driving instructor training, you will be encouraged to consider events like this shown in the video and use the resources you have to understand and appreciate what has occurred.  In that way, you are better equipped to inform your pupils appropriately.

For your information, I would advise you take a look at pg 114 of your KYTS re signs, and pg 64 re road markings, and DES pg 132.  BIG TOM provides all trainees with the very latest, comprehensive and authoritative resources.
Take a close look at the position of the van.
