Means you are too slow or taking too long to either: move off, pulling out at road junctions/roundabouts. deciding to overtake/changing lanes. In other words holding up the traffic. The consequences mean you can fail your Driving test.

A tip for doing the left reverse is to get the pupil to turn the left door mirror down slightly so they can see the kerbstones. Tell them to keep the kerbstones about 2 fists away from the kerb as all times and adjust the steering in small amounts each time to keep the distance the same.

By using this measure they can visualise what 2 fists look like and they will be able to keep the car at a reasonable distance from the kerb without touching it. Stress that they should be no closer than 1 fist but no further than 3 fists and that should work.

In theory it is not a serious fault if the manouvre was under control and observations safe. However, if the road was wide enough to undertake the manouvre in 3 points, then it is likely to result in a serious fault. A 7 Point turn may be required if the road is very narrow.

Comment by Trevor Moore:
I always say that the examiner takes into account the width of the road and the size of the car. Some cars have excellant turning circles, others don’t. They don’t call it a three point turn anymore because of this. Quick steering to full lock and very slow movement of the car is the key.

The European Court of Justice ruled that the use of gender to price insurance policies was no longer legal as of December 21, 2012.

Since then, MoneySupermarket has analysed 1.3 million car insurance quotes of women aged between 17 and 19 and have uncovered that young women are experiencing an inflation of 22.1% on their car insurance premiums – or a hike of £231 on average.

You can help reduce your insurance premiums by taking additional driver training, such as Pass Plus in Norwich: http://www.how-2-drive.com/pass-plus-courses.php   and Advanced Driving lessons in Norwich

When are we instructors going to stop putting down lesson prices, or will we carry on until we pay the pupils? Been instructing for the last 13 years. Yesterday at the test centre an instructor with 25 years experience said he’d never know it so bad as in the last 3 years, and is taking early retirement because he can’t afford to drop his prices any more. In our area lessons are costing £9 per hour in some cases while one school is offering first 5 hours £19, no doubt to undercut the one charging £20 for 5 hrs.

Driving test manoeuvres demonstrated by a Grade 6 driving instructor. Watch these short video clips to see what is expected during the DSA driving test in the UK. There are 4 manoeuvres and you could be asked by the examiner to perform any one of them.

There are 3 key skills the examiner will be assessing:
Control – keep the vehicle under control using the clutch and coordinate your steering.
Observation – you must look in the direction of travel and be prepared to give priority to other road users.
Accuracy – complete the manoeuvre with reasonable accuracy, ie if asked to reverse into a bay, you must finish within the bay.

Driving in wet conditions can be hazardous, but you have a better chance of staying safe if you prepare for wet weather.
Even drivers with local knowledge can be caught out during heavy downpours, as even the most modern road surface is still susceptible to standing water. This creates a potential aquaplaning hazard as well as significantly reducing visibility. Take it easy through standing water and if the steering does become unresponsive due to the rain, ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually.
