Why are mirror checks so important?
You must make the mirror checks as soon as possible in order to allow time to make other drivers aware of your intentions; you will need a complete picture of what is happening behind including cyclists who might be on your left. You will have to slow down to make the turn and a cyclist might catch up and try to pass you on the left as you turn.

What is a Junction A junction is a point where 2 or more roads meet – junctions are hazards where there is a greater risk of accidents – they must be treated with great care.
