Reversing around a corner is one of the more difficult driving techniques<\/a> and a task that is often requested as part of the driving test<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are a few stages to the process and as long as each part is executed correctly the overall task can be accomplished with expert precision.<\/p>\n

The Approach Phase<\/h2>\n

To show other traffic that the intention is to navigate the corner, not make the turn, the indicator should be used directly after the junction has been reached.<\/p>\n

It is useful to check and see what the traffic conditions are like on the road being reversed into. If it is busy extra care will be required when turning<\/a>. Bring the car to a stop half a metre from the kerb and approximately two car lengths after the junction.<\/p>\n

Cancel the indicator. The seat-belt can be released to do full visual check if required.<\/p>\n

Executing The Turn<\/h2>\n

Once it has been established that the road is clear reverse gear should be engaged and the car can move off very slowly.<\/p>\n

No signal is required. Full visual checks on all mirrors should be maintained at this time. When the vehicle<\/a> reaches the apex of the corner the kerb will disappear from the rear view and side mirror.<\/p>\n

As this happens the steering wheel must be turned an appropriate amount to the left. A steady walking pace should be used throughout the manoeuvre.<\/p>\n

Points To Note<\/h2>\n

It is important to remember that the front of the car will swing right so continuous checking on both sides is imperative.<\/p>\n

If any traffic, cyclists or pedestrians appear, either on the road being reversed from, or the one being driven into, then it is essential to stop until the coast is clear.<\/p>\n

If a vehicle stops as it cannot pass then the car must be returned to its original position and the process started again.<\/p>\n

Completing The Turn<\/h2>\n

Once the corner has been successfully navigated straighten the steering before bringing the car to a stop two car lengths from the junction and half a meter from the kerb.<\/p>\n

Continue to check rear view and side mirrors until fully at a standstill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
