Manoeuvres aren’t about perfection — they’re about control, observation, and finishing safely.

Slow control is everything

Move at walking pace. In an automatic, control speed mainly with the brake. The slower you go, the more time you have to steer accurately.

Observations (what examiners want)

Check around you before moving off and regularly while reversing. If someone walks behind you, stop. Safety first.

Bay parking basics

Use reference points, watch both mirrors, and correct if needed. A safe correction is better than forcing a bad position.

Parallel parking basics

Aim to park close to the kerb without touching it. Use mirrors to judge distance and straighten up carefully.
