But learning your driving test manouevres now will make your life so much easier after you\u2019ve passed. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Zipping into a titchy space right outside Tesco, nabbing the last spot in the high street on a Saturday morning... Trust me, you need this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>What are the manoeuvres in the driving test?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>The 3 manoeuvres that could come up on your driving test:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ingenie.com\/young-drivers-guide\/how-to-bay-park\">Bay park forward and reverse out or reverse bay park and drive out<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ingenie.com\/young-drivers-guide\/how-to-parallel-park\">Parallel park<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ingenie.com\/young-drivers-guide\/pulling-up-on-the-right-hand-side-manoeuvre\">Pull up on the right, reverse for 2 car lengths and rejoin the road<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>During your test, you\u2019ll be asked to do one manoeuvre. It could be any one, so spend plenty time getting to grips with each. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your driving instructor will spend time teaching you the right technique, but practice makes perfect so spend a lot of time on these in your private practice too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Remember that this isn\u2019t like the algebra that you learn in school and never use again. You\u2019ll use your manoeuvres all the time, so you need to know them well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>While not technically a manoeuvre (it's a <strong>simulated event<\/strong>), you may also be asked to do an emergency stop in your driving test. Your examiner might call this a 'controlled stop'.<\/blockquote>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h2>The key to acing your manoeuvres<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019ve heard it over and over by now and it applies to everything from <a href=\"\/young-drivers-guide\/how-to-move-off-in-a-car\/\">moving off<\/a> to turning right at a junction. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>Mirror - Signal - Manoeuvre (Position, Speed and Look) <\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>In your test, the examiner chooses the location of the manoeuvre for you. All of your manoeuvres make you a potential hazard to other road users. That means that you need to make sure:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>You have enough space to perform your manoeuvre<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Other people know what you\u2019re doing<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Your manoeuvre won\u2019t put you or others in danger<\/li>\r\n\t<li>You\u2019re aware of everything around you as you perform your manoeuvre<\/li>\r\n<li>You won't make anyone have to <strong>S<\/strong>top, <strong>S<\/strong>low, <strong>S<\/strong>werve or <strong>S<\/strong>wear<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"container-border text-center\"><h4>Ready to take your test?
