No question is going to have ‘speed up’ as an answer.

No answer will be sound your horn, flash your headlights or wave them across.

Whenever turning right always check your mirrors to make no one is about to overtake you.

Powered vehicles used by disabled people have a flashing amber beacon, which indicates a slow moving vehicle.

A pedestrian walking with a dog that has a yellow or burgundy coat is likely to be deaf.

When approaching any pedestrian crossing be prepared to slow down and stop.

At night, if dazzled by vehicles behind, you should set your mirror to anti-dazzle.
