Driving Safety Tips:

•​Make frequent use of mirrors and move over safely to allow quicker cars to pass. Use indications to assist the overtaking driver and make the manoeuvre as safe as possible.

•​Slower drivers must be aware of drivers with more competence and allow quicker vehicles to pass efficiently. Use indicators if appropriate to assist the overtaking driver and the overtaking driver MUST make the manoeuvre as safe as possible. The faster driver MUST give a gap of at least six feet. Drivers seen to be deliberately obstructive in the overtaking process will be removed from the circuit to be              re-briefed.
