The manoeuvre should be commenced from a position parallel to and within 2m of the left road edge or kerb. At the completion of the exercise, the vehicle should be parallel to and within 2m of the edge or kerb.
The applicant should be given two attempts to successfully reverse the vehicle around a corner. In each attempt, two reverse movements and one forward movement is allowed. The forward movement for left and right reverse can be as far as the edge or kerb.
