Manoeuvres

On your test you will be asked to carry out two of the reverse manoeuvres .

Turn in the road . Left reverse . Reverse park {parallel park or bay park }

Before starting any of the manoeuvres look at the layout of the road to workout which two pedals you need .

Clutch and either foot brake or accelerator depending if it's uphill , downhill or level .

Before you start  check all around for any hazards { highway code rules 200 - 203 }.

Remember failing to plan you're planning to fail

obs =  observation = checking all around including blind spots

Turn in the road

Position A

At the start look around as you would when moving off . If the road is clear move off very slowly and steer full right lock , have another look for other road users before you move across the road , as you near the other side prepare to de-clutch and stop about 6 inches from the curb

Position B

Before you start to reverse obs , if it's clear start to reverse and steer full left lock , have another look all around and if it's still clear continue reversing until you about 6 inches from the curb { check in the blind spot mirror }

Position C

Before moving off  obs for other road users and if it's clear move off slowly steering full right lock

If you think that you might touch the curb on the third part repeat steps B and C. if you have other vehicles waiting while you are carrying out the turn in the road , when in position B or C they may drive through if there is enough room .

Left reverse

From the start position A move off as normal , as you pass the junction you intend to reverse into { position B }check the side road for any hazards and use the MSM routine to stop about two car lengths past the side road { position C } 

Position C

Turn in your seat slightly to get a good view through the rear window , before you start to reverse obs,if it's clear , using the left door mirror to occasionally  check your position , reverse back slowly to position D  trying to keep the car about half a meter from the curb . before you start to steer obs , if there are any road users let them pass before you start to steer as the front of the car will swing out,.at position E check again to see if any other road users want to drive pass , as you round the corner , position F straiten the steering up as you start to run parallel with the curb in the new road , continue to reverse for about 10 meters , position G

Bay park

There are many differant ways to carry out the bay park manoeuver , but because of the size of my local test center car park i tend to favor the left reverse

Position along side bay line 3 , position A  , obs steer full left lock ., as you enter the bay obs and check the left door mirror and as you start to run parallel with the bay lines straiten up the steering .
