Key Takeaways

• Class 3 Vehicles: Includes powered wheelchairs and scooters with a maximum speed of 8 mph. Drivers should leave plenty of space when overtaking these.
• Overtaking Small Vehicles: Extra room should be allowed when overtaking bicycles and motorcycles, especially in windy conditions.
• Wind and Crosswinds: Most likely to affect bicycles, motorcycles, and high-sided lorries; least likely to affect cars.
• Overtaking Large Vehicles: When overtaking lorries or buses, stay well back to maintain visibility. If another vehicle fills the gap created by dropping back, drop back further and do not attempt to overtake both.
• Caravan Towing: Extended arm side mirrors are the safest type of rear-view mirror when towing a caravan.
