Reverse In A Straight Line

Blue School of Motoring can tailor a driving course that will help you cope with all of the following. Your driving instructor can help you with this.

Using reverse gear is difficult for new drivers. The car steers differently, the front wheels become, in effect, the rear ones. When you drive forward you can see the car turning when you steer. In reverse, you have to wait for the steering to take effect. Your Driving Instructor will expect you to reverse:-

• Safely
• Correctly
• Smoothly
• Under control
• Keeping reasonably close to the kerb
• Without mounting or hitting the kerb
• Without swinging out too wide.

• Check traffic and road conditions
• Look out for traffic and pedestrians
• Stop in a safe position
