Moving off safely is not a fixed head-turning routine. The checks need to match the situation and be repeated if anything changes before the car moves
1
Look where risk can appear
Think about cyclists, pedestrians, vehicles passing, parked vans and limited visibility.
2
Make each check purposeful
A glance only matters if you actually use the information it gives you.
3
Redo checks after a delay
If you pause after looking, conditions may have changed. Re-check before moving.
