Pull up on the right and reverse
Here’s the instruction you will be given while you are driving…(the Examiner will not pull you over to give you this instruction)
“Pull up on the right when it is safe to do so please”.
“I’d like you to reverse back for 2 car lengths please, keeping reasonably close to the kerb”.
If another vehicle pulls up behind the car and stops you reversing back, it will not count as being completed. The Examiner will ask you to drive away and another manoeuvre will be carried out later during the test.
If a vehicle pulls up in front, the manoeuvre will be carried out until completed. If the vehicle blocks your view, the Examiner will help you out and offer advice.
