This could either be the parallel parking exercise or the examiner may ask you to up on the right side of the road, reverse back for two car lengths before driving off again. Alternatively, the driving examiner may take you into a supermarket car park and request the bay park exercise.

Manual or Automatic Intensive Driving Lessons

It’s easier to pass your driving test in a week by taking an automatic car compared to a manual. This is because you don’t have the extra task of changing gears, especially on approach to junctions such as roundabouts. This, in turn, means that you will have more time to focus on the speed and observations on the approach to such junctions. Once you’ve passed your driving test in an automatic, you will be restricted to driving only automatics. However, you are most welcome to upgrade to a manual license by retaking and passing another test.
