    Sort of right Tara... They pull you over and give you a route to follow, ie turn left here, then second right then straight on at the roundabout then pull over... And you do that for about 10mins... And you only have to do 1 manouver... But you don't know which manouver... If it's the turn in the road then I have it nailed... If it's the reverse parking then I stand a good chance... If it's the left reverse... Then I'm currently stuffed...

    What is the left reverse? Is that into a parking spot?

    What car do you learn in and can I be of any assistance? I would be happy to take you out for an hour (may not be of help in a different car) or ask my dad if he has any tips (he was a driving instructor for a few years before he retired)

    It's reversing round a corner... I'm learning in a 306... I'm getting there, seem to be a bit better every time... But I just can't get my head round it like I did with the turn in the road...

    Do you have a 'marker' in the back window that you need to keep in line with the kerb? If you see where the kerb 'should be' when you are pulled in, then as you reverse you need to keep the kerb in that same spot in the back window...so you follow the kerb around.

    Does that make any sense?

    Yep - so that is where you need to keep it as you reverse around.




    I learnt to drive so long ago that my driving instructor used to say we could stop for a cigarette if I reversed around a corner well....so I used to do it well and we would stop for a fag!!

    My driving instructor smoked on my lessons! he pretended to his wife that the smoke smell was from his pupils smoking in the car PMSL!

    As for being an extra mum to an adult and her kids you must have the patience of a saint! i have a spare bed and cot if you want to come here to help :D

    Hi Dora how was your trip away xx
