If you would like to make yourself comfortable in your car now please, I will join you in a moment.

Emergency stop

Pull up on the left please (either specify location or use normal stop wordings) Shortly I shall ask you to

carry out an emergency stop.

When I give this signal, (simultaneously demonstrate, and say) ‘Stop’, I’d like you to stop as quickly and as safely as possible. Before giving the signal I shall look round to make sure it is safe, but please wait for my signal before doing the exercise.

Do you understand the instructions?

Thank you. I will not ask you to do that exercise again. Drive on when you are ready.

Body of the test

Pull up on the right (Right hand reverse)

Pull up on the right when it is safe to do so please.

I would now like you to reverse back for about two car lengths, keeping reasonably close to the kerb

 

Would you pull up on the left well before you get to the next parked car, please. This is the reverse parking exercise.

 

Would you drive forward and stop alongside the car ahead. Then reverse in and park reasonably close to and parallel with the kerb. Try to complete the exercise within about two car lengths.

 

Reverse Parking - car park (This can be carried out at the beginning or the end of the test).

Beginning of the test

Would you pull forward either to the left or the right so that your wheels are straight, then reverse into a convenient parking bay. Finish within one of the bays.

End of the test

I should like you to reverse park in the car park. Drive forward into the car park, then reverse into a convenient parking bay. Finish within one of the bays.

Forward park

I would like you to drive forward into a convenient

parking bay finishing within the lines, either to the left or the right (if car park allows).

Now I would like to reverse out either to the left or the right. (Direct candidate if arrows indicate a one way system in the car park
