Your end point is a good distance up the side road or, if on your test, continue until the examiner tells you to stop. Remember - your vehicles wheels must not mount the curb or cross the centre road markings. If they do you will fail your practical driving test. |

On Your Driving Test The Examiner Will Expect You To Reverse Round A Corner:
Reversing into a side road can be the safest and most convenient way to turn round. However, great caution is needed when performing this manoeuvre. Remember when reversing into a side road not only are you reversing against traffic emerging from the junction, but as you reverse into the side road the front of your car will swing out into the road. Because of this you must continually observe the environment - what's happening to the front, back and sides. |
