Lesson no 2 for JoeJack ( I'll make it a quick one)
Whilst riding as far to the right of the lane, take a look behind you whilst approaching the LH turn. When there is a safe space clearly indicate your intention to turn left by holding your left arm out horizontally. When it is safe move quickly over as near to the LH side of the lane as possible thus allowing the vehicles that are not turning left to carry straight on on the inside of you. Any other vehicles turning left will line up behind you. Whe you approach the junction ensure there is a safe space and proceed quickly accross and proceed AS CLOSE TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE LANE AS POSSIBLE!!
Hey Joe (I hear a song coming on) it's not rocket science is it? Well it isn't to some of us!
