The Maneuvers

During the driving test you will be expected to carry out two set maneuvers and maybe the emergency stop as well. The maneuvers are often feared, but they needn't be.

The maneuvers include:

REVERSE PARKING:
OBJECTIVE: Drive alongside a parked car and reverse back within the space of two car lengths without hitting the kerb and whilst observing for other road users.
TIP: Really put your reversing skills to the test and try to use a set method given by your driving instructor to make it easier. Don't concentrate solely on one thing, observe around at all times.

EMERGENCY STOP:
OBJECTIVE: Stop the car as in an emergency, without skidding.
TIP: Quick reactions needed here. Brake, but not too hard and clutch. Remember your skid prevention as discussed with your instructor.
DIFFICULTY RATING: 

---

TURN IN THE ROAD
OBJECTIVE: Turn the car around using forward and reverse gears without hitting the kerb and whilst observing for other road users.
TIP: Maximum clutch control needed to keep the car slow. Quick turns of the steering wheel and keep observing for other road users, especially the more vulnerable.
DIFFICULTY RATING:

REVERSE TO THE LEFT:
OBJECTIVE: Reverse in to a side road to your left, keep close to the kerb and observe for other road users.
TIP: Use your judgement skills to keep close to the kerb. But don't look only at the kerb, other road users can approach at anytime! Your instructor will show you an easier way of achieving this manoeuvre.

BAY PARKING:
OBJECTIVE: Reverse in to a car park bay, whilst observing for other road users.
TIP: Get your point of turn set and you should drive in to the bay perfectly everytime.
