Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Mirror check; indicate and move out if it is safe to do so..
The sequence drivers should follow the mirror - signal - manoeuvre routine when overtaking. Drivers should overtake only when it is safe to do so. Give extra space to cyclists when overtaking them; as they may need to move out to avoid a pothole; or they could be blown into your path on windy days.
