Junctions are the leading cause of serious driving faults. Learn to emerge safely, give priority correctly, and handle box junctions.
Junctions (emerging, turning, and crossing) generate the highest number of driving test faults. Failing to give way, emerging too slowly, and cutting corners are all penalised. This guide covers every junction type you'll encounter.
Emerging left is generally safer because you only need to check from the right. Slow down, use MSM (Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre). At the give-way line, look both ways — right, left, right again. Emerging right requires you to also check the oncoming lane is clear before turning across it. Wait until it's safe before crossing. Never rush an emergence to "make a gap".
