Left Reverse

Using reverse gear can be confusing for new drivers. You will notice that the car seems to steers differently. When your driving forward you can actually see the car turning when you steer. But when reversing, you have to wait for the steering to take effect.

The examiner on the driving test will be watching out for the following:

Control - you should have control of the vehicle at all times using you clutch, brake and accelerator correctly

Observations - you are aware of all other road users.

Accuracy - you cannot touch the kerb or swing out too far from the kerb.

Your driving instructor at McNics Driving School will guide you through the step by step routine which you are required to use in this manoeuvre.
