My driving test is coming up soon, what are the most common manouveres?

Question

I just want to pass my test on the first time without no worries.

The only problem is I need to just brush up a little bit on my manouveres and that's all.

I am good on the parallel parking and the reverse also, but turning in the road, I find that a bit hard to do.

Answer 1

Safe driving tips to help pass your road test:

STEERING Steer smoothly whether you are driving straight ahead, turning or backing up.

ACCELERATION Accelerate smoothly and moderately. Don't race the engine or cause it to stall.

BRAKING Bring the vehicle to a stop gently. Start braking well before your stopping position to avoid "jerky" stops. Make sure you stop your vehicle in the proper position of the lane.

CLUTCH/GEAR Always be sure your vehicle is in the correct gear. With either an automatic or a manual transmission, shift into the proper gear at the right time without "grinding" the gears.

SPEED Obey the posted speed limit, of course, but also adjust your speed properly due to weather, road, visibility and traffic conditions.

FOLLOWING DISTANCE Keep an adequate space "cushion" between your vehicle and those you are following. Use the "two second rule" described in the Driver's Manual. Be sure to increase your following distance in poor weather or visibility.

TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES Know the meanings of signs, signals and pavement markings, and obey them consistently.

STOPPING POSITION If a stop is required, stop your vehicle before it reaches an intersecting street. If stop lines or crosswalks are present, stop before crossing them. If your view is blocked after stopping behind the crosswalk, move up until you can clearly see your way, then stop again if necessary.

LANE SELECTION AND POSITION Keep your vehicle in the proper traffic lane, especially when preparing to make turns. Don't allow room for another vehicle to pass you on the side that you are turning toward.

COMMUNICATION Let other drivers and pedestrians know which way you want to go. Use your directional signals or horn consistently and at the proper times.

OBSERVATION Look for and identify potential problems or hazards in the traffic around you - not just straight ahead, but behind you and on either side. Check your mirrors frequently, but be sure to look over your shoulder behind you when changing lanes or backing up.

ANTICIPATE & REACT TO OTHERS Anticipate possible driving errors by others and be ready to react safely to make up for their mistakes.

Answer 2

2 from reversing around a corner, reverse parking and turning in the road.

I'd practice turning in the road as it's the one that you will use the most after you pass your test.

Answer 3

i failed mine last week so ican say reverse round corner and bay parking and PLEASE dont forget to check your mirrors

Answer 4

Presuming you're in the UK you can do the following:

Turn in the road

Left reverse

Reverse parking either on the road or in a car park - depending on whether your test centre has a car park or not.

There's not really one that's more common than the others and its not really worth taking a risk like that anyway - you would be far better off practising and getting up to standard before going for your test - ask your instructor to go thru the turn in the road if you're worried :)

Answer 5

All manouvres are set so that you can handle the vehicle in which you are taking your test. A hill start, reverse round corner. Parking, turning in the road without hitting the kerb stones. All driving/parking manouvres will be considered in your test. Good luck

Answer 6

Turn in the road.

EITHER Parallel park or bay park depending on test centre layout, how busy it is etc.

EITHER reverse around a corner to the left OR the right. Very rare they choose right.

Answer 7

You'll be tested on all the manoeuvres that you have learnt in your lessons. If you know that you are weak on some but ok on others just ask your instructor to practise the things that you need to work on. He or she should be able advise you on this.

Answer 8

Don't play games - practise them ALL - be honest, you're going to need to know how to do them all when you've passed and you're out on your own ! ! !

Answer 9

Ask your parents / other family members to take you out each night until your test to practice the manouvers that you are not completely confident with. Thats what I did and I passed first time!
