If you are doing a manoeuvre and you get too close to the kerb, don’t panic! Firstly, stop so you can assess your position better by looking at the door mirrors. The next thing you will need to do is take a shunt forward to create some space, so when you go back into reverse you can adjust the steering sooner. Lastly, don’t forget to keep up all round observations throughout the manoeuvre.
