When carrying out a right turn on a dual carriageway you need to consider the high speed of the traffic and start planning your turn at an early stage. Check your mirrors carefully, signal well in advance and consider a gentle press on the brakes at an early stage to signal to following traffic that you are slowing. Position your vehicle accurately inside the turning bay in the central reservation, and take care to check that the road you are turning on to is clear before pulling out.
