There are several “basic manoeuvres” which form part and parcel of the QSAFE Practical Driving Assessment. The “basic manoeuvres” consist of:
- U-Turns – at a right-hand T intersection; a standard T intersection; a crossroad; and a standard U turn in a cul-de-sac or general open space;
- The Turnaround Manoeuvre – formerly known as a 3 Point Turn;
- Reversing Exercise or Straight Reverse;
- A Parallel Reverse Park; and
- Hill Starts
The following are a set of videos designed to help new drivers understand how to perform the basic manoeuvres.
