Do not continue just because navigation says so. If the road looks unsuitable, stay legal, find a safe place to turn or continue to a better route.
Navigation does not know your confidence
A technically passable lane can still be a poor choice when you are newly qualified at night or in bad weather.
Never reverse a long way under pressure
If you meet another vehicle on a narrow road, slow down and use a proper passing place. Do not let an impatient driver force a risky manoeuvre.
Preview unfamiliar journeys
A quick map check can reveal single-track lanes, city-centre restrictions or complicated junctions before leaving.
If navigation changes how much you drive, update your mileage estimate when it becomes clearly inaccurate rather than leaving the policy unchanged all year.
