MANOEUVRES
The following are VERY BRIEF instructions of your manoeuvres for when you have done them in the Hooter's cars, reminding you, mainly, of your reference points - DO NOT forget everything else you've been taught on your lessons!
Biggest thing people fail on for manoeuvres is OBSERVATIONS!!!!!
REMEMBER - HEADLESS CHICKEN!!
DO NOT STARE IN THE MIRRORS!!
STOP CAR if ANYONE or ANYTHING is going round/coming towards you at ANYTIME!!!
If had to stop the car for any reason, make sure you check round AGAIN before continuing!
REVERSE ROUND A CAR/PARALLEL PARK
Pull next to and slightly infront of target vehicle, so front/back half way down instructors window
In Reverse, check ALL round, slowly go back until the target vehicle disappears behind instructors seat and then stop straight away.
Check RIGHT MIRROR, RIGHT SHOULDER
Steer ONE HOUR LEFT - quickly
KEEP CHECKING ALL WAY ROUND & OUT BACK WINDOW
When KERB UNDER DOOR HANDLE in BIG mirror
(kerb still above the door handle) (kerb now below door handle)
TWO fast HOURS RIGHT
KEEP CHECKING ALL WAY ROUND & OUT BACK WINDOW
When parallel to KERB ONE VERY FAST HOUR LEFT and stop so tyres to tarmac.
Check all way round before move out again.
1-2-1
STOP CAR if ANYONE or ANYTHING is going round/coming towards you at ANYTIME!!!
If had to stop the car for any reason, make sure you check round AGAIN before continuing!
If end up TOO WIDE - whilst in reverse do ANOTHER 1 LEFT, 2 RIGHT, 1 LEFT & then take forwards so tyres to tarmac.
If TOO CLOSE/GOING To HIT - STOP!!! Take forwards and take ONE HOUR quickly back off to the LEFT, in reverse take back and put that ONE HOUR quickly back on to the RIGHT (cos of limited space - steer like a mad woman), when parallel to kerb ONE HOUR back to LEFT & take back so tyres to tarmac.
BAY PARKING
If tight on the 'PEEPING LINE' keep your steering on until back wheels are in the bay, off and over line, then steer like mad the opposite way till the car is straight, then steer back the other way to straighten the wheels.
If tight on opposite line (line next you on a right bay, line on passenger side on left bay) take a very quick ONE HOUR of steering off, keep off till back wheels are in the bay, off and over the line, then put that HOUR back on again, then steer the back other way quick when straight to straighten the wheels.
It'll make sense when you do it!!
DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR MANOEUVRES - EVEN IF ITS GONE WRONG, PULL FORWARD AND TRY AGAIN - FINISH IT!
ANY MANOEUVRE - IF HE ASKES IF YOU'RE FINISHED - YOU'RE NOT!!!
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG/MISSING -
DO NOT LEAVE IT, YOU WILL FAIL - CORRECT IT!!!
