Here are a few pointers for you to consider:

However when entering a busy major road from a minor road it's important to get the power down promptly or a car approaching will be forced to brake heavily if you move off too slowly. Heavy braking will tell the Examiner that you haven't prepared sufficiently in advance for your slow down! Use the right foot gently on both the gas and the brake pedals. . . (1) Right foot .

This will be a lot smoother and will also save fuel and brakes. . . Or stop for say traffic lights or slow moving traffic commence your braking by coming off the gas pedal promptly and THEN using the brake gently. . . (2) When preparing to slow down.

Tight and blind turnings should be taken in first gear for a smoother maneuver and then if the road is clear you can accelerate away in second gear, if not all, most. For a maneuver in good time (mostly second gear) and never change gear during a maneuver--- (your hand is off the wheel) so you are steering with only one hand! . . (3) Select your chosen gear.

However if having stopped to make a left or right turn or to enter a roundabout and you can see that the road is completely clear then you should not use the handbrake and should move away immediately. For example traffic lights and busy junctions, this prevents the car from rolling. In any situation then you should use the handbrake, if you are going to be stopped for ten seconds or more. . . The Ten Second Rule . (4) Handbrake.

Use the pull -push technique and it will improve your positioning. It's important not to cross the hands and arms. . . (5) Steering wheel technique.

This is your turning point and you should not go beyond this mark. And extend it across your path, imagine the centre line of the road into which you are turning. . . (6) When turning Right .

. . . . . . . (7) Reversing around the corner.

(a) Don't go too far past the corner to commence your reverse.

(b) Stop about 14 /16 inches out from the curb.

Making sure that you are not obstructing any gateways, then bring yourself into the curb and pause again to observe and then finally reverse back in a straight line to your chosen stopping point, get around the corner first. Then continue; if not stop and use handbrake until the traffic has gone, continue; if it's clear, (c) Pause at the APEX (half -way through the corner) and look Right and then left.

Then you do not have to stop and should enter with a little acceleration, as you approach your entry point and it is totally clear of traffic, if you can see very clearly. Obviously if this situation pertains but the on coming car is going too fast then it is prudent to wait and give way otherwise you are forcing the other car to brake heavily behind you. It is not yet on the roundabout and therefore you are not obliged to give way, in other words, if you are at your entry point and a car coming from the right still has some way to go before it reaches Its entry point then you may go. . . . (8) Roundabouts.

You have a much better view by staying a good distance back and it's easier to judge whether you should go or are forced to stop by the oncoming traffic; do not go right up to the rear of the obstruction before stopping. . . . (9) Parked Cars .

You should be ready to move off the moment the lights go green otherwise other Drivers will take advantage and cause you difficulty. They are almost always different; you must be thinking and watching carefully the changing sequences of each set of lights. . . (10) Traffic Lights.
