	For advice about driving on our roads
	Most roads on Mull are single track, with passing places at intervals, usually marked with a prominent black and white post. Look ahead towards the next passing place to see if the road is clear. If a vehicle is approaching and the passing place is on your left, pull into it. If the passing place is on your right, stop opposite it so that the oncoming vehicle can drive round you. On no account should you pull across the road to a passing place on your right-hand side. Please try to be aware of vehicles closely following you. Pull in at the next passing place to let them pass. It might be the local doctor hurrying to an emergency!
