Streets Ahead Driver Training

The assessment for each of the five slow speed manoeuvre requires the learner to demonstrate the manoeuvre correctly, without assistance, on two consecutive but separate occasions. The reverse parallel park has a concession for assessment in that two attempts are allowed for each successful demonstration.

The slow speed manoeuvres should be done at no more than walking speed with quick hands on the steering wheel: Slow car, fast hands! This is harder than it sounds, requiring significant co-ordination between the hands for steering and the right foot manipulating the brake and accelerator to control the car's speed. There are also observations, over the right/left shoulder and to the rear, to be carried out as well as the manoeuvring procedure to remember! Follow the links below for helpful hints, guidelines and explanations for each manoeuvre.
