Dave intends to turn into a coned-off section of the dual carriageway to deliver bitumen on the road site. What should he do immediately before entering the site?

Explanation: • Indicate his intentions to any following traffic: No, this is only part of what he should do.
• Turn his hazard warning lights on: No, these should only be used in the event of a breakdown or accident, or to warn any following traffic that the vehicles in front are slowing rapidly.
• Turn his rear fog lights on: No, these are only to be used in conditions of reduced visibility.
• Indicate his intentions to any following traffic and turn on his flashing amber beacons: Yes, he needs to let any following traffic know which way he intends to turn, but also needs to use the warning beacons once he has entered the work area to warn any other workers of the presence of a moving vehicle.
