How to drive slowly in reverse?
Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 5:31 am
I’m having trouble with the left reverse turn. I’ve read dozens of articles on the net about how to execute this turn but none tell you how to do it SLOWLY.
I feel I’m executing the turn too fast. How do I do it more slowly and with more control? I doubt it can be a good idea to have my foot on the brake throughout the turn.
Also I tend to get nervous while turning and I hit the brakes before I have completely straightened the car because I always fear I’m going to crash into something like a wall or more likely run over into the stony muddy area beside the lane/road. But I suppose getting that right will come with practice. We have few pavements in India, so I can't check out the kerb through the window but just try to use my judgment as to when the road curves.
