Basically, the key is nice and steady and don\u2019t panic.<br>    Examiners refer to this as reverse parking manoeuvres so don\u2019t get confused and don\u2019t worry. They will also tell you to parallel park.<br>    The space you need to do this manoeuvre is about one and half times the size of your car the examiner will be picking a space that\u2019s at least two car lengths and actually going to pick a car on his own and move out along sided and reverse back. If you can practice this in 1.5 car lengths you are easily going to do it in 2.<br>Sometimes we need reference points and they do work for some people, but they don\u2019t work for everybody so have a chat with your instructor and have a plan B.<br>     We have modern day cars with camera\u2019s for reversing and using mirrors. Don\u2019t overuse them. A glance into the mirror and a glance into the camera is useful but don\u2019t rely on it. You must make effective and good observations. There\u2019s lots of blind spots on this vehicle to easily move a young child or a cyclist. To make sure you\u2019re looking into the directions and travel and never be afraid to have a little stop and an extra check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second video in our Test Tips series is now live.
