ARDS Guide

Safety Car Procedure

Learn safe behaviour during safety car periods and restarts.

Unofficial revision note: This page is a preparation aid. Always follow official material and your course provider's instructions.

Why it matters

Cars bunch together under safety car conditions, so sudden braking or poor spacing can cause avoidable incidents.

What to do

Maintain a sensible gap, watch several cars ahead, avoid sudden changes and follow official signals.

Restarts

Stay alert but controlled. Do not anticipate instructions or create contact by overreacting.

Practise this topic

The fastest way to improve is to apply the topic in questions and scenarios. Use the trainer to practise, then come back to the guide if an explanation is unclear.
