Reversing

Do it in stages, take your time and stop frequently to check your position and do the necessary observation.

Tight corners - use the back of the car at the end of the wall as the turn point, Important - Look all around before you turn, look in the top-left-hand mirror (an additional mirror in my car) as you go around the corner, then to straighten use the centre point of the rear screen (green triangle) centered on the parked car behind.

(Note: we have a green triangle marker in the centre of our rear screens)

Large corners - use left-hand door mirror for the turn and then the green triangle when straightening.

Take all round observation at all stop points

Reverse around corner animation as would be done on a driving test created by hawkwell driving school hockley

Remember to keep looking over your left shoulder

Remember you can shunt forwards at least twice to correct or re-align if you are unsure. If you do it in stages you can always go back to the point where it was last correct.

You should be looking over your shoulder – out of the rear window at least half of the time when reversing. 

 

Stop with back of the car at the end of the wall

Stop half way around

 

Stop when you are parallel to the kerb and pointing down the side road
