Correct answer
Observe, signal and execute.
When we decide to carry out any type of manoeuvre permitted by the Traffic Regulations, the first action we must take is to observe the traffic to check there are no obstacles or impediments to carrying out the manoeuvre. We will then signal the manoeuvre and carry it out without inconveniencing other road users.
