Video
footage of a three point turn on a driving lesson
*
You will be asked to " turn the car round to face
the opposite way using forward and reverse gears - try
not to touch the kerb when turning ".
*
When moving off, set the clutch just below biting point
unless on a steep hill, where the clutch would need to
be slightly higher. (small petrol engine cars will require
a steady flow of acceleration) We used a diesel 2 litre
not requiring much revs for this film.
*
Take good all round observations at all times - if you
are not sure whether an approaching driver will stop when
you are on the second or third stage, wait
- but be ready to move off - don't wait until
the driver is so close to you where you have to set the
handbrake, gear and clutch at the last minute.

This exercise is based on a road with a steep camber.
Certain roads you may not require the handbrake. |
