Aux intersections où on retrouve des feux de circulation, utilisez la méthode du point de non-retour, c'est-à-dire le moment où votre temps de réaction est devenu insuffisant pour changer d'idée sur le geste à poser. Concrètement, si vous apercevez le feu déjà vert, regardez d'abord dans votre rétroviseur, puis planifiez votre réaction. Vous devez penser que votre premier réflexe devrait être d'arrêter si le feu changeait. Mais si vous atteignez le point de non-retour, n'essayez même pas de changer de décision et continuez. Vous serez moins un risque pour vous, et vous ne mettrez ainsi la sécurité de personne en péril. 1, record 7, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20du%20point%20de%20non%2Dretour
