The Reversing Exercise

The Manoeuvre

The Stages

1. Pull over to the side of the road as if you were parking and put the car in reverse and wait for any vehicles approaching from behind to pass.

REMEMBER: You are supposed to keep all 4 wheels on the road!

2. Once vehicles have all cleared have one last look all around. Once you are certain it is all safe, look over your left shoulder out the rear window and start reversing.

Once you are moving it is okay to look around again and use your mirrors, so-long as you occasionally glance out of the rear window.

As you go make sure you make small corrections with the steering wheel and let your travel make the difference.

REMEMBER: The faster you go the bigger your errors will end being!

3. If any cars start approaching you from behind you must stop and wait until they have

passed.

4. Once they have passed you may continue, again make sure you check all around to make sure it's safe and have a final look out of the rear window as you start to move again.

Obviously you stop when you reach your intended destination, finally check that your final position is appropriate for parking.
