    Observation Turning Right. This would arise from not looking into your turn and making sure the way is clear before you turn in. Can also arise from not checking the mirror before you turn the wheel.

    Road Positioning Turning Right    . This would arise from turning in too soon to a turn and skimming the stop line or driving on the wrong side of the road on the approach. Also swannecking into a turn.

    Reacting to a hazard. Does exactly what it says on the tin. This for me can fall into a number of things. Hitting a speed ramp too hard. Getting to close to a parked car and not leaving enough room to get out. Hitting a pothole you could have avoided in good time. Car infront is signalling and you dont react and stay on the gas. Approching a stale green traffic light and not being prepaired to stop.

    This looks like a very helpful idea for a thread!
    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but I was wondering how quick should you be at reversing round the corner?

    This is my weakest aspect, mostly cuz I've barely practiced it enough times. A lot of times I completely cock it up (even ended up hitting the curb once). But when I concentrate and do it very slowly taking my time at every move, its then I get it right.
    So was wondering if I could be penalised for being too slow/taking too much time at reversing round the corner?

    And also how big a fault would it be if you somehow managed to stall the engine while taking off from traffic lights or doing a hill start?

    Thanks.
