You are driving a car and approaching a busy signal-controlled junction where cyclists are using a signed two-stage right turn area ahead of you. How should you load your vehicle to help keep these cyclists safe when they move off and change direction in stages?

Explanation

The Highway Code (Rules 75 and 98) explains that cyclists may use two-stage right turns at some signal-controlled junctions, meaning they can be alongside or ahead of you in different positions as they turn. You must be able to see them clearly in all your mirrors. Overloading the vehicle or blocking your rear window and mirrors with luggage reduces your ability to see cyclists and other road users, increasing danger. You should load your vehicle so that mirrors and windows give a clear view and all items are properly secured.
