Tips for additional practice
– You can gradually increase your en-
try speed (to no more than 13 to
19 km/h (8 to 12 MPH)) and try some
variations. For example, approach
faster and slow before entering the
exercise, pull in the clutch and apply
brakes during the swerve, etc.
– Practice checking your mirrors and
blind spot before you swerve.
10) Operating in Reverse
Purpose
– Become familiar with the vehicle’s
handling and turning radius in re-
verse.
Directions
– Shift into reverse. See
OPERATING
IN REVERSE (p.23)
.
– Check that the area behind you is
clear, and continue to look back-
wards while you ease out the clutch.
Be careful not to strike anything
with your front wheels as you back
up. Slow and stop using clutch and
brake, just like when operating nor-
mally.
– Back for a few feet at time, stopping
in between.
– Keep your speed low and do not
back up for long distances.
– After you are comfortable with re-
verse, back into a parking space as
