In this picture you can see that the view of the kerb is in line with the edge of the windscreen wiper.  This point becomes your reference point.  At this moment the car is at the starting point. We are about 3 to4 car lengths from the corner and about 30cms from the kerb.

 The actual reference will point will need to be found to suit each driver, as this will vary. Park your car around 30cms from the kerb. ensure that you are parallel and then look to see where the kerb goes out of view.  This point becomes your reference point.

Initially I am following the line of the kerb to ensure I stay a uniform distance from the kerb.

At this point the view of the kerb has dropped below my ref point.  You can see the view of the kerb moving to the right in the rear wind screen.  You must be careful not to follow the kerb at this point. 

As you can see I am following the white line as it crosses the road.  If you follow the kerb at this point you will get too close to the kerb before you are ready to start your turn.

I am now at my point of turn. Through trial and error I have decided that this is the point at which I will begin to turn left.  Notice that my reference point is now on the kerb the other side of the junction.  The point at which the kerb is going out of sight in the side window is now used as a second reference point. This tells me I am at my point of turn.

Use this moment! You have to pause a moment to look around so think to yourself “I now need to start turning the wheel as I begin to move again”.  Do not rush!

 I’m now looking into the new road and the view of the kerb is travelling from the right towards the centre of my window.  My reference point is now pointing about 2 metres into the road.  I’ve not finished steering back to straight ahead yet.  By the time my wheels are pointing ahead I want my reference point to be pointing at the kerb.

At this point I have completed the manoeuvre.  My reference point is on the kerb and in the mirror; you can see how far I am from the kerb.
