You are using a mobility scooter on a service area pavement and need to join the motorway slip road to continue your journey. What should you do before moving off the pavement and onto the road surface?

Explanation

The Highway Code, Rule 40, says that when moving off the pavement onto the road you must take special care. You should always look around to make sure it is safe to join the traffic and, where possible, use a dropped kerb. If you must climb or descend a kerb, approach it at right angles and do not attempt a kerb higher than the manufacturer’s recommendation.
