Left Reverse

This manoeuvre is typically used to turn your vehicle around, although in a driving test is not necessarily used for this purpose; it is more about demonstrating safe, careful vehicle control. You will need to demonstrate slow consistent control of your vehicle, keeping reasonably close to the curb throughout, whilst taking due regard of other road users and pedestrians at all times. If another road user appears during your manoeuvre, be prepared to give way, safely move out of their way, or if necessary pull forward and re-start the manoeuvre. 

Common problems: 

poor speed control, resulting in accuracy and observation faults

over-steering, causing you to strike or mount the curb

under-steering, causing you to end up too far from the curb

ineffective observation / not responding to other road users and pedestrians
