My mind has gone blank:(

Can you remind me the correct order for hitching?

Other than knowing speed limits are there are particular highway code rules I need to remember?

Easter egg for all helpful replies :D
 
The B+E test
No medical or theory test required
Read a number plate from a certain distance
VIDEO - Show Me Tell Me Questions - usually 5
The next three can be in any order:-
VIDEO - Reversing Exercise (old measurements) - done in test centre grounds if test conducted from practical test centre - some tests are now being done from training school grounds
VIDEO - Uncouple/couple up - done in test centre grounds if test conducted from practical test centre - some tests are now being done from training school grounds
One hour road drive - includes the independant drive and is done virtually the same as the basic car test

Did I mention looking in the mirrors.....:D

If you have not looked in both mirrors every few seconds then ask yourself - why not?

Click to expand...

Not too often though, or they'll mark you for not watching the road. :o Approximately every 8 seconds is what was recommended I think...

Do you know the length, height and width of the combination of trailer and towing vehicle? I'm assuming the test is similar to what we have to do...
 
Thanks ROG :D

I've been practising looking in my mirrors every few seconds since my lesson, hopefully the examiner will be impressed with my dedication to my mirrors!!

I didn't realise about the "Show Me, Tell Me" questions, I don't know the answer to most of those in my instructor's car. Will ask him in the morning.
