Often during the parallel park, we use the door mirror so much that we risk not looking all around and making effective observations. If you ensure you look over your right shoulder at least twice and out of the back of the window at least 6 times, then that should be just enough to satisfy the examiner. These are only guidelines though - in some cases you will need to look around even more during busy times.

When approaching a no entry sign, expect the examiner to say nothing unless there is more than one option on where to go. As you approach the no entry, the examiner will be ready to brake you if you aren’t slowing down and look as though you will miss the no entry. If you notice their foot or leg moving slightly, you possibly have 1-2 seconds to go in the correct direction before they use the dual controls.
