There will be local guidance clarifying examples of actions that will attract a DQ and this will include: (1) crossing central white lines on a single carriageway road; (2) not signalling when turning right at a roundabout; (3) not being ready to brake when navigating road junctions and roundabouts. The run is on a mixture of grass, track and pavement. Depending on the weather conditions it may be slippy in places.
