    Help!

    Q1: Any tips on remembering to look at your mirrors whilst driving?

    Q2: When about to perform a turnabout, do you indicate out?

    1. The best way to learn is through practice, just remember M.S.M.M (Mirror, Signal, Mirror, Manoeuvre) and you should be fine.
    2. Most definitely yes. You should indicate as you'll be moving from the kerb, remember to look over your right shoulder to check your blind spot also.

    I'm sure some of the regulars around these parts will give more detailed answers to your questions shortly!

    The only advice I'll give is that if you don't look in your mirrors regularly then you won't be aware as you should be of what is happening on the road,

    Additionally, don't rely exclusively on mirrors, as they do have blind spots. When pulling out into traffic, get into the habit of casting a quick glance behind you over your shoulder.

    My instructor gave me a tip, cock your rear view mirror slightly so that you have to tilt your head back in order to see clearly, making it more aparent to the tester that you are looking in it..
