In this episode, Kev and Tracey talk about not having control of the vehicle when reversing, one of the top ten reasons people fail their driving test.

We chat about the following:

  • Examples of not being in control while reversing
  • Parallel parking problems
  • Bay parking problems

While listening to this episode, ask yourself:

  • Do you feel in control of the vehicle when reversing?
  • What could you do to practise the skills you need to correct when things go wrong?
  • Is your car parked or dumped when you reverse?

The Ready to Pass campaign has been created to help ensure that you have prepared sufficiently for your driving test in response to the current pass rate, which has a 47% success rate.
