Alternatively you can enter the name of a town, or the first part of a Post Code into the search box below. E.g. Crawley or RH10

Purpose: The MSM/PSL routine is fundamental to safe driving. It is the routine we apply when performing any manoeuvre (a change of position or speed) and when dealing with any potential hazard (anything which may cause a change of position or speed). The routine offers us a logical system in our driving which helps to develop better vehicle control and safer driving.
How it works:
Mirrors: Check your mirrors in good time to assess the position and speed of traffic behind you. Check that it is safe to carry out the manoeuvre.
Signal: Based on your observations consider whether a signal is necessary. If it is, signal your intention to change direction or speed in good time being careful not to mislead others.
Manoeuvre: This is broken down into the following steps:
Position: It is not always necessary to alter position of the vehicle, however, when a change of position is needed, move into position in plenty of time. This also helps to reinforce your signal and intention to manoeuvre.
Speed: Once you have taken up your position, you need to make sure your speed is appropriate to carrying out the manoeuvre safely. Using the footbrake progressively gives you control and again signals your intentions.
Gear: When the speed is right you need to consider selecting a gear which will allow you to maintain control of the vehicle throughout the manoeuvre and which is appropriate to the road and traffic conditions. Your foot must come completely off the clutch pedal before starting the turn at a junction.
Look: You will of course be looking ahead and assessing throughout the routine on approach, but this is where the decision to proceed or wait has to be made. This part is broken into four deciding factors:
Look: What can you see?
Assess: is it safe to proceed?
Decide: based on what you can or can't see
Act: proceed or wait.
