The Emergency Stop As part of your practical driving test you may be asked to complete an Emergency Stop .  This is not a manoeuvre , it is an additional task and you have a one in 3 chances of getting it in your test. At 4front Driving School we describe a situation to our students that delivers a senario. Imagine a child had stepped out in-front of your moving vehicle. You would need to react almost instantly to avoid harming the child, bringing the vehicle to an abrupt but safe stop. To represent an emergency situation the examiner will say they will raise his/her hand and call out STOP! At which point you need to react. To do this you are expected to hit the brake pedal as quickly and firmly as possible to bringing the vehicle to a stop as quickly and as safely as possible. Don't be afraid to hit the pedal hard, it is designed to deal with this kind of abuse. You are expected to apply the clutch after the brake pedal and not before to stop the engine stalling or...

Manoeuvres in your Driving Test As part of your driving test you’ll be asked to do one of 4 possible manoeuvres: A parallel park at the side of the road, A forward bay park in a bay in a public car park, A reverse bay park at the test centre car park A pull up on the right -hand side of the road, reverse for 2 car lengths and rejoin the traffic. The emergency stop is not classed as a manoeuvre but is an additional task that could take place in one in 3 tests.   If you are interested in learning to drive then please call Simon at  4front Driving School   on 07905657229 Or visit our website on  http://www.4frontdrivingschool.co.uk You can email 4frontdrivingschool@gmail.com Or visit our Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/4frontdrivingschool

What is inevolved in the pulling up on the right manoeuvre? The pulling up on the right and reversing in a straight line manoeuvre was included in the driving test in 2017. The manoeuvre is pretty straightforward. There are three main parts to this manoeuvre:  ● pulling up on the right-hand side of the road,  ●reversing for 2 or 3 car lengths in a straight line and then, ●pulling away safely to rejoin traffic on the correct side of the road. Whilst the Highway Code advises drivers not to park against the flow of traffic, the DVSA notes that there are many real-life situations in which drivers may have to do so. As such, it's important that learners to understand how to perform the manoeuvre safely and correctly.   If you are asked to pull up on the right, it will sound something like this: “Ahead I want you to find somewhere safe to pull up on the right-hand side of the road giving yourself enough room to reverse back about 2 to 3 car lengths back in a straightl...

Reverse Bay Park You might have to reverse bay park on your driving test which would take place at your local test centre if they have a car park, if they don't have a car park then you will not be asked to complete this manoeuvre. There are several different methods of achieving  a reverse bay park, but at 4front Driving School  we want our students to find a technique that suits them. Most students will choose the 45 degree method as it will work in almost all situations. Here is the 4front Driving School guide to the 45 degree technique. Reversing into a bay has always been described as being the safer option than driving forward into one as you'll have a better view when driving forward out of it, especially if you have vehicles either side of you.  There's not much room for error when parking in between cars but in your driving test you'll probably  be able to do this with empty bays either side. Once you have passe your test you may also wan...

The parallel Park manoeuvre is an important and essential driving skill to learn so that you can park on the street without worrying about curbing your alloys or risking damaging your cars tracking by going in forwards and potentially mounting the curb to get into the space. Most spaces that you come across especially down side roads that don't have drive ways are not big enough to drive forward into a and therefore your only option is to reverse in. At 4front Driving School we want our students to develop a technique that works for them, that they can adapt with confidence and use in everyday life situations. Parallel Parking The parallel park manoeuvre requires you to pull alongside the chosen vehicle you intend to park behind with your left indicator on (if it is on the left) giving your self enough clearance so that you don't come in contact with the vehicle (about half a car door width away). On approach use your MSPSL technique. Try to line up your left door mirro...
