    Ya should just try to find a quiet housing estate, as that's most likely the place where you'll be doing it.

    I have to give another answer you don't want. Practice loads of different places. Use lots of different corners to get a better understanding of the reverse. Remember, the test has very little to do with the turnabout and reverse and a lot to do with stopping, starting, turniging left and right etc. You only do the manouvers once. It is far more important to get the basics 100%.
    Also, if you have a car why do you need to use the instructors car?
