This comes down to a mix of common sense and politeness – there’s no law that dictates this, although the UK Highway code does specify that you should give way to vehicles coming uphill where possible. So if you are driving down a hill, you are expected to pull into the first passing place you see, or reverse if possible.

Sometimes there will be multiple cars travelling in each direction. Many passing places can accommodate 2 cars so pull forward to let vehicles behind you enter. Lighting requirements rule 5, rule 43, rule 48, rule 60, rules 113 to 115, rule 226, rule 229 and rules 235 to 236 A detailed planning guide to the North Coast 500 road trip in Scotland, as well as a 5 day NC500 itineraryThe situations and preoccupations in the play seem hardly to have dated in the intervening quarter-century. It remains a frothily funny, disarmingly thought-provoking work. Traffic-calming measures. On some roads there are features such as road humps, chicanes and narrowings which are intended to slow you down. When you approach these features reduce your speed. Allow cyclists and motorcyclists room to pass through them. Maintain a reduced speed along the whole of the stretch of road within the calming measures. Give way to oncoming road users if directed to do so by signs. You should not overtake other moving road users while in these areas. It is an offence not to comply with their directions. You MUST obey any signals given (see ‘ Signals by authorised persons’).

use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users (see Rule 226). Night (the hours of darkness) is defined as the period between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise. Working in telly now, it’s all about rewrites and meetings and writing draft after draft after draft, but even though I was already doing bits of telly, Passing Places just happened. There was a freedom there, and an energy in the writing that wasn’t constrained by all these shifts in tone, and it felt like I could do anything with it, whether that was bad jokes or monologues. I think it was all to do with me being excited by the possibilities of theatre, and this ridiculous idea of doing a road movie for the stage.” The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively. You MUST NOT use your horn Original or adapted works for the stage include: The Salt Wound (1994), Dissent (1998), and Gilt (2003) for 7:84 theatre group; Passing Places (1997) and The Ballad of Crazy Paolo (2001) for the Traverse Theatre; Sleeping Around (1998) with Abi Morgan, Mark Ravenhill and Hilary Fannin for Paines Plough touring theatre and King Matt (2001) for TAG Theatre Company.

The roots of Passing Places stems from Greenhorn’s youth growing up in Fauldhouse, a village in West Lothian, where he and his mates took advantage of that great enabler of the arts – the dole – to club together to go hill-walking as a way of escaping their seemingly dead-end small-town lives. Theory test - Motorcycle licence requirements and Motor vehicle documentation and learner driver requirements Take extra care on country roads and reduce your speed at approaches to bends, which can be sharper than they appear, and at minor junctions and turnings, which may be partially hidden. Be prepared for pedestrians, horse riders and cyclists walking or riding in the road. You should also reduce your speed where country roads enter villages.

Tailgating is where the gap between you and the vehicle in front is too small for you to be able to stop safely if the vehicle in front suddenly brakes. You MUST obey signals given by police officers, traffic officers, traffic wardens (see ‘ Signals by authorised persons’) and signs used by school crossing patrols. sharing the road with pedestrians, particularly children, older adults or disabled people, cyclists and horse riders, horse drawn vehicles and motorcyclists The staging is inspired and exciting. A pouf seat serves as a motorbike; the sofa acting as a car is particularly impressive. With smoke oozing from it and the dramatic change in paint job, it has all the charm and character of the play itself. The cast also act as the band, providing the live musical accompaniment and sound effects. The set is also clever and is used well, with a ramp and raised platform painted to look like a road. It is original and offers an interesting change to a simple, flat stage. As the driver, you are still responsible for the vehicle if you use a driver assistance system (like motorway assist). This is also the case if you use a hand-held remote control parking app or device. You MUST have full control over these systems at all times.The appearance of Passing Places in 1997 seemed to coincide with a new wave of playwrights coming out of the Traverse, with debut works by the likes of David Greig and David Harrower having preceded it a couple of years before. In truth, Greenhorn had been writing for several years before both writers. Certain motorised vehicles do not meet the construction and technical requirements for road vehicles and are generally not intended, not suitable and not legal for road, pavement, footpath, cycle path or bridleway use. These include most types of miniature motorcycles, also called mini motos, and motorised scooters, also called go peds, which are powered by electric or internal combustion engines. These types of vehicle MUST NOT be used on roads, pavements, footpaths or bridleways.

allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front on high-speed roads and in tunnels where visibility is reduced. The gap should be at least doubled on wet roads and up to ten times greater on icy roads do not treat speed limits as a target. It is often not appropriate or safe to drive at the maximum speed limit Double white lines where the line nearer to you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.Large vehicles rule 126, rule 160, rule 164, rules 221 to 222, rule 233 and rule 294 see also Long/large vehicles
