Truck Blind Spots
If you can’t see the side view mirrors on a truck while travelling behind the vehicle, the driver cannot see you approaching.
Drivers are also unable to see vehicles at various points around the vehicle, particularly the left-hand side, so if you’re a driver, motorcyclist, cyclist or pedestrian, stay clear of the passenger door and make yourself visible to the driver.

Merging
Where two lanes merge into one, the vehicle in front has right of way.
If there are multiple marked lanes, and one ends, give way to the vehicles in the lane you are moving into.

Overtaking Road Trains
Australia is home to some of the largest trucks in the world. Road trains range in length from 33 metres to up to 60 metres, and common sense and care is required to safely overtake these vehicles.
Roundabouts
When entering a roundabout, always give way to any vehicles already in the roundabout. On multi-lane roundabouts, obey the directional arrows.
Mobile Phones
While driving, it is illegal to touch, hold or have your mobile resting on any part of the driver’s body (unless the phone is stored inside a driver’s pocket or in a pouch). ‘Driving’ includes being stationary with the motor running, like waiting at stoplights or stopping roadside.
Emergency Vehicles
If an emergency vehicle has blue or red flashing lights and/or is sounding an alarm, you MUST try your best to clear the way to let it easily pass. Emergency vehicles include police, fire and ambulance services.
Uncontrolled Intersections
An uncontrolled intersection is where there is no traffic signal, stop sign, or give way sign.
As a rule, at an uncontrolled intersection, always give way to the right, to oncoming road users (this includes vehicles, bicycles, eRideables and pedestrians).
Safe Following Distance
A safe following distance depends on your speed, driving conditions and the type of vehicle you are driving. In good conditions, you should drive at least two seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.
