poor me...

[MaybeGuy]

yes, i am poor, and i cant afford lessons.
just need 2 things cleared up that are getting me with the ol confusion stick...

1: when going on a motorway/dual carriageway and taking an exit is it still 'mirror, signal, lifesaver, manouver' just like changing lanes? or am i wrong in the order.

2: when general riding, do you need to do rear observations? or is checking the mirrors ok?

3: slowing down, speeding up and stopping... rear observation? or are mirrors ok?

4: what is the speed limit on main roads?
correct me if im wrong:
residential=30
main roads=50?
dual carriageway with lampposts and walkway=40
NSL=60

5: roundabouts:
mirrors before entering, left lifesaver, look right, enter roundabout, indicate when turning off, both mirrors, lifesaver.
if i do this, will i be doing it right? because this is what i do at the mo.

6: parked cars: going around them:
left observation, left indication, then cancel indicators.
opposite for going back into lane?

please just number 1-6 with yes/no and if no, how do you do it properly?

im bossy in this post, but cheers for the help in advance.

1 yes
2 mirrors/depends
3 depends
4 nsl 70 dual ,60 single
6 what side of the road are you riding on you don't indicate when overtaking parked cars

this is from what I can recall ,it may not be 100 % !
I would suggest you get at least a couple of hours of lessons just to learn the basics .

When passing a parked car, i dont livfesaver to the left, i lifesaver tho the right.

It seems more commen sense to me, as you will be looking over the right, then moving to the right of the lane to overtake.

Also only indicate on large vehicles, such as busses at bus stops etc.

Then when you have passed the stationary vehicle, left mirror check, left life saver, then move back into your normal lane positioning.

my left and right is spazzed up
i mean right obs. right ind.
thats what i remember from the CBT anyways.

what im thinking of doing is speaking to my aunts other half, he's an ex traffic cop so i may be able to get a few hints from him, however, they're in durham and im in cornwall, and i hope to pass my test by the time they next come down

EDIT: bike cop, not traffic cop.

7: when passing joining roads on a main road, do i need to steer out a bit? or can i just carry straight on?

7. If you were taking your test you'd be expected to maintain a central position in your lane and adjust your speed accordingly, i.e. if there are vehicles waiting to turn you may consider easing off to show your acknowledgement of the hazard. If you're riding for yourself or from an advanced perspective you might move to the right of your lane as long as the position didn't compromise your safety. Remember you'll compromise speed, position, priority, everything in fact but not your safety.

8: do you need to check your mirrors before performing an emergency stop?
