Danger is everywhere on our roads.

If you don’t look for it, it will almost certainly find you. So don’t just glance at your car mirrors – you could miss out on vital information that could prevent a crash, such as a vehicle overtaking you, a cyclist moving up the inside or a pedestrian crossing the road behind you.

 
The Highway Code for NI says:

Before moving off you should:

• Use all mirrors to check the road is clear.
• Look round to check the blind spots (the areas you are unable to see in the mirrors).

Plus all mirrors should be used effectively throughout your journey.

 
You should:

• Use your mirrors frequently so that you always know what is behind and to each side of you.
• Use them in good time before you signal or change direction or speed.
• Be aware that mirrors do not cover all areas and that there will be blindspots. You will need to look round and check.

 
Make MIRRORS-SIGNAL-MANOEUVRE part of your daily routine no matter how long you have been driving or how experienced you think you are – it will reflect on your driving.
