The Secret of Reversing Around a Corner for a Learner Driver

November 29th, 2010

Reversing around a sharp corner on your near-side has to be one of the most difficult things to master as a learner driver wishing to pass their driving test. But it need not be! Here is a tip for you.

Begin the manoeuver by positioning your car about a steering’s distance (up to about one metre) from the footpath. Now start to slowly reverse. The operative word here is SLOWLY.

Don’t be tempted to rush. Make sure you are constantly looking out the rear window, because that is the direction in which you are travelling.

Frequent check for cyclist and pedestrians especially as the front of the car swings out as you begin to enter the corner. Wait until the kerb appears in the rear door window. Count to three. Now is the time to put on a full lock. As the footpath appears in the side mirror, straighten up and slowly move back to the nearest lamppost. That’s all there is to it.

So to recap: Carry out the manoeuver SLOWLY.

Keep a constant watch all around you for pedestrians and cyclists

Always be prepared to stop.

Wait for the footpath to appear in the rear door window.

Look in your side mirror for the footpath to reappear.

Straighten up and move back a couple of car lengths.

You must remain calm at all times. Remember to look out the rear window. Constantly be on the look out for pedestrians, cyclists and other cars. Do everything slowly and practice whenever you can. You’ll be amazed just how easy this can become. So keep practicing and good luck with you driving test. By Brian McHugh

Using An Auto Transport Company

November 28th, 2010

More people are switching towards hiring an auto transport company now than ever before – and for good reason. As it turns out, when you are faced with moving or relocating to a different area for a job, hiring an auto transport company can actually save you money in the long run. Think about all of the unnecessary miles that you would have to put on your vehicle if you were to drive it long distances over unfamiliar roadways. When you hire an auto transport company, the car carriers are skilled professionals who know how to move multiple vehicles across the rough roads that criss-cross throughout the United States.

Once you have done your research and narrowed your choices down to just a few auto transport companies, it is recommended that you give each one a call and speak with their customer care representative. When you do this, make sure you are prepared with a list of questions and concerns. For instance, you should know how many vehicles you can ship at one time as well as what sorts of credentials the company has. Are they registered with the Better Business Bureau? What do their testimonials look like? What have others been saying about that particular company?

It is difficult to hand your car keys over to a total stranger. This is why when you hire a car transporter, you should feel one hundred percent confident that they will take your vehicle and treat it with the care and attention that they would give their own vehicle if it was being shipped. In some cases, companies will even go so far as to provide customers with the personal cell phone numbers of their car carriers- this way you always know where your vehicle is at all times.

Whatever you wind up deciding, do your research ahead of time, look at other companies that people have used; and compare, compare, compare! By Brenda Williams
