Pulling Away

 

Get ready to go, check the internal and door mirrors, indicate, and the last thing you do before you move is check your right shoulder blind-spot.

Uphill use the biting point against the handbrake:

Downhill apply footbrake, release the handbrake, then release the foot-brake to move.

 

Stopping normally

Try to pull up close to the kerb (within 30 cm) and pull in over a distance. The more suddenly you pull in the more difficult it is. Try not to wiggle the steering to make last minute adjustments -  it doesn’t work. The best way to line up parallel to the kerb is to look at a parked car in front of you and try to be centrally behind it.
