Test Tips – Position

POSITION

When driving straight keep the car reasonably close to the LEFT when possible.

Take up the correct road positioning turning right, just left of the centre of the road and just behind the white line.

When turning left a common fault is approaching the junction too wide

Your car should be positioned reasonably close to the left.

Listen carefully to the directions the tester gives on approach to a ROUNDABOUT, and ensure you approach in the correct lane.

DO NOT encroach the road markings ie. Keep in your lane, even if there is nobody in the other lane.
