About Pulling away from the kerb: mirrors, blind spot, then the indicator: which statement is WRONG?
- ✓ If you signal in good time before pulling away, that gives you priority over other traffic.
- The text names the steps explicitly as 'first ... then ... last': interior mirror/ahead, then left door mirror, then last beside you.
- The order explicitly ends with 'last, look beside you to the left'; that glance covers exactly the area no mirror shows.
- Only signal right before you pull away; signalling too early makes other drivers think the indicator is stuck on by accident, or that you have not seen them.
Correct answer: If you signal in good time before pulling away, that gives you priority over other traffic.
Explanation
Signalling is an announcement, not a right of way: you must give way to other traffic and may not cause danger or nuisance, regardless of whether you have signalled
