Driving on country roads often involves higher speeds and longer stopping distances than driving in built-up areas. It is therefore important to plan well ahead, keep a sufficient distance and be alert to things such as oncoming traffic, overtaking, junctions, animals and changes in road and weather conditions.
In this section, you will learn how to enter, drive along and turn off country roads, how to position the car and use the hard shoulder, and what applies when meeting oncoming traffic and overtaking. You will also read about level crossings, roadworks, speed blindness, aquaplaning and other hazards, as well as the rules for motorways, clearways and 2+1 roads.
