pedestrians, cyclists or horse riders or car‐
riages and when trains or ships are close to
the road, or when animals are crossing the
road.
▷ On tight bends, on steep brows or hollows of
hills, when there is crossing traffic or if the
view of oncoming vehicles on a motorway is
obstructed.
▷ In poorly lit towns or where there are highly
reflective signs.
