Learn when you must give way to other vehicles, and find out what to do in a variety of situations and at different kinds of intersections.
It is very important that you know the give way rules.
An intersection is where two or more streets or roads join or cross, and a public entrance or exit joins a street or road.
If any other vehicle is approaching or crossing an intersection, don't speed up as you approach.
There are give way rules that apply at intersections and driveways.
A roundabout is a central island in the middle of an intersection, where all vehicles must travel to the left of the island.
A railway level crossing is a point where the road crosses over a railway line.
Some roads in Aotearoa have one-lane bridges on them. At these bridges, vehicles travelling in one direction have to give way to vehicles going in the other direction.
