In the past at a dangerous junction with limited visibilty owing to corners and high speed traffic I found myself looking one way then the other repeatedly before moving.
Now I look to one side until I'm certain it's free I look the other way and if I see nothing, I go. It feels like I'm fighting my instincts but so far so good!
- seszett 8y agoIn this situation, I learnt (driving school in France) to first look to the left, and once it's free then look to the right. If it's free, go. I have to admit I don't remember the explanation I was given then but it made sense, and as far as I know everyone's taught to do that here. In a car or on a bike, it doesn't matter. You also do that at pedestrian crossings.
