Who should go first?
Meeting traffic on narrow residential roads can be one of the trickiest situations for learner drivers.
And here’s the thing…
It’s not always about who has “priority”.
Good drivers look at the whole situation:
* Where are the parked cars?
* Who has space to pull in?
* Is another vehicle already committed?
* Is there enough room for both vehicles?
* What’s happening further ahead?
Sometimes the safest decision is simply to slow down and let the other driver through - even when you technically could continue.
Don’t fight for priority.
Communicate, cooperate and keep the traffic moving safely.
Good driving isn’t about proving you’re right.
It’s about making good decisions.
