Stopping
Anticipation is important; you should
see stops ahead, check the mirrors and begin braking
early, stopping smoothly. Sit properly so that braking
is easy. Use your right foot for both brake and
accelerator pedals so you won’t step on both pedals
at the same time. Press the brake pedal evenly.

Do
not press the clutch or release the gears from a
distance. You will have to brake harder in that
case and will find if more difficult to control
the vehicle.
Come to a complete stop at all stop
signs and red traffic lights. Wait until the way
is clear before entering the intersection. |
Stopping
for school buses
All school buses are yellow in colour
and have words ‘School Bus’ written prominently.
On a two way road, traffic from
both directions should stop at a safe distance when
children are getting off a school bus. Move after
the bus has started moving.

Stopping for pedestrian crossings
Pedestrian crossings - also called
"zebra crossing" - let pedestrians safely
cross roads where there are no traffic lights. Drivers,
including cyclists, must stop and let all pedestrians
cross. Pedestrians have the right of way. |
