(once someone literally backed into the side of my car because they weren't looking)

Someone reversed into my car as well.

Do you have sensors or a rear camera at all?

There are more cars out there withOUT those than with.

So to be clear: I DO NOT HAVE TO ONLY USE THE REAR WINDOW TO REVERSE, i can use mirrors because im more used to it but as long as i look at it before I start reversing and looking at it once during my manouvre, it is fine? (talking about reverse parallel parking here).

ALSO one more thing, For a hill start, is it just a normal start but you leave your parking brake on until you're halfway out of your parking spot? So you leave your hand on the parking brake? Cheers.

This is just how I execute a hill start:

Hand break is up. Traffic lights go green. Press the accelerator. Once I know I'm going up, put that hand break back down ASAP. Drive.

Um, when it comes to reverse parallel I never exactly used the rear window. I used the window that the back left passenger used in conjunction with the left mirror.

Any time you change direction including reversing, you need to check all your mirrors and rear window. You do not need to look at the rear window directly for the entire reverse.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES GUYS! P'S TEST TOMORROW ROUND 2. Wish me luck!

 

[ionlydochest]

Sorry one more thing guys, do i have to indicate left on all roundabouts when leaving the roundabout or only for multi laned ones because it says online 'indicate when practical'. Thank you

 

[anomalousdecay]

Indicate when practical literally means that. If the roundabout is tiny and you have to drive like a race driver with hands at quarter to three in order to indicate left, then it obviously isn't practical and is unnecessary.

So yeah, always indicate out of multi lane roundabouts and only do it for single laned ones that are quite large or where it is practical to indicate out.

 

[ionlydochest]

Thanks, just passed and i aced it, no errors haha.
