    I have my second test tomorrow morning and I'm very nervous! I have a question about reversing around a corner.

    If a car comes up behind me as I'm halfway through the attempt (my car is halfway around the corner), do I stop dead on the road? Or do I go forward and start from the very start once the car has passed?

    This is really stressing me out and would love to hear what to do!
    Thanks.

    You stop when the other car approaches. Once it is gone, you restart the procedure from the place that you stopped at. You do not go back to where you started from, unless the tester tells you to. It is unlikely that he will tell you to start over, unless where you are stopped at, is in danger of becoming a hazard to other road users.

    Hi,

    the moment you see the car approaching, you stop. If it immediately overtakes you continue after it clears. However if it stays on its left you MUST clear the junction and return to your starting position.

    If you do not clear the junction you are forcing the other car to overtake approaching a junction which is of course dangerous.

    Thanks for the replies, very helpful.

    Ironically during the test I became the car that drove up from behind when someone was reversing around a corner. It was someone else doing their test and I had chatted to him in the waiting room before the test. Hopefully I didn't put him off and he got on ok!
