    Hi Beth

    I passed 8 months ago and the thing that freaked me out the most was parking! They dont teach you how to park forwards, which probably sounds ridiculous to experienced drivers but to a newbie it can be scary lol well was for me.

    Just remember when reversing out you turn the wheel in the opposite direction to the way you want to eventually be facing. You will get the feel with practise, and will know how much to turn your wheel and when to start taking off the lock to go into first gear and pull away. It is practise and just remember how you did your other maneourves, just go slow release on the clutch so you have more control and can feel the movement of your car and adjust your wheel accordingly.

    I know I will just get shot down in a hail of bullets, so I am going to put on my tin hat and body armour first.

    Do I really have to guess at what gender the OP (and the others who find parking difficult) is?


    This is my point ~LOL~ :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I am of the (fairer) sex but really don't want to be such a "Girl" about it LMAO. I want to be able to do it like a dude hehehe!
    It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice!!

    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
