The Reverse Around The Corner – To The Left
This manoeuvre is compulsory on the Driving Test. In the video clip below the driver will show you one of the ways in which to complete the reverse to the left correctly. The most important aspects of the manoeuvre are explained and on the driving test the tester will be looking for 3 key points.
(1) Competency – your ability to complete the reverse left turn without undo effort or steering while still maintaining the correct distance from the kerb.
(2) Observation – your ability to see all round the car so as to avoid harsh braking or becoming a danger to other road users.
(3) Yield Right Of Way – Stopping if a hazard approaches from any direction and is coming towards you. Remember you do not have the right of way when reversing.
This will also tie in with your Observation. Click on the video clip below once to view it and good luck.

The Turnabout – (or 3 Point Turn – This term is no longer used)
On the driving test you wil be asked to do a turnabout. The turnabout was previously know as the 3 point turn. The difference is the manoeuvre does not have to be completed in 3 turns. Generally it is completed between 3 and 5 turns, depending on the size of the road and vehicle. In the video below the driver explains one way of how to correctly complete the manoeuvre. Observation, comptetancy and yield right of way are the 3 key points the tester will look out for. Like the reverse around the corner practice the turnabout in a quiet area before trying it in an area with traffic. Good Luck.
