Reversing around corner & tyre pressure

Wats_in_a_name

Got my test soon and have 2 questions.

1) While reversing around a corner, a car comes up the road your reversing onto. What do you do? Never happened while practising but with my luck it will happen on my test!

2) Do you need to know what pressure your tyres should be for the test?

Don't know about the test, but in real life I'd be inclined to stop where I am, in (reverse) gear, with my indicator going to see what the other driver decides to do. Most would probably wait till you're finished. Whatever happens, don't get flustered, and remember to recheck all your mirrors and views from all directions once you're ready to continue the manoeuvre.

It's never any harm to know your tyre pressures - they're usually on a label inside the driver's door. Go check them on the way to the test centre, that way you'll know they're OK, and they'll be fresh in your mind if you do get asked.

For the reverse ya stop and wait for them to make a move. Three point turn is the same just ya stop at one of the points nt in the middle of the road.

Stop reversing when you see car approaching. Your reverse lights will be on and tell the driver you are reversing. If they stop and let you finish then finish procedure. If the person doesnt stop and keeps approaching stay stopped and let the driver overtake/pass you.

A reversing vehicle has no right of way. I would stop, see what the other driver does. If you are blocking the other driver from proceeding i would move forward back to where you started.

It depends where you've stopped. If you've gone past the point of no return, which depends on the junction, you're causing more of an obstruction by going forward then completing the reverse.
