One general driving life rule: prefer to miss a turn or an exit than to try to make it suddenly. it's just not worth it. Patience in general is worth cultivating.

Another: be sure of eye contact with other road users when negotiating passage at a junction, a crossing, or whatever ... see that they see you and don't proceed until you're sure and they seem to be stopping.

A classic: back into parking spaces, it's safer. It's easy to see if a space is clear before you park in it, and no-one is likely to suddenly get in your way. The opposite is true of the shared roadway, so be able to drive forwards into the roadway with a full view.
