Road test tips (passed mine a week ago)
Mirrors Mirrors and mirrors
Check back when passing parked cars, pedestrians or cars turning.

I would have booked some training unless you have done it before.
My first few attempts during training I messed up but then got the hang of it.

ok thanks for that. Never done it before and I’m doing car to C+E, I thought they would have provided all training necessary! It seems odd to give 1 day to learn reverse!

Heads up from when I did my test... probs won't happen but if the examiner warns you that a junction or roundabout entry is a bit tight, that's a cue to say they're expecting you to take up more of the road/ both lanes! Good luck mate
