Why this chapter
Giving way is about order and predictability – and on a motorcycle about something more: being in the right does not protect you. This chapter covers the right-hand rule, signed give-way and stop, the situations where others are pulling out into traffic, and when you yourself must clear the way. Learn to see who should wait – and to expect that they will not always do so.
