In order to learn and practise the various manoeuvres the practice area must provide for the following:
Light Motor Vehicles
- For the three-point turn in the road – A road 9m wide and 12m long with a vertical kerb on both sides.
- For the incline start – A gradient of at least 1 in 15 but not steeper than 1 in 10, with a Stop sign and a Stop line on the gradient.
- For Alley Docking (from left and right) – A road 2.5m wide with a curse into a 6m deep alley, and obstacles.
- For parallel parking – A parking bay 7m long and 2.6m wide with a vertical kerb on one side and obstacles.
Example:
A car parallel parking
Heavy Motor Vehicles or Trailer
- For Alley Docking (from left only) – A level road with a curve into an alley.
- For a left turn – A level road with a curve.
- For reversing in a straight line – An area 40m long and 4m wide.
- For the incline start – A gradient of at least 1 in 15 but not steeper than 1 in 10, with a Stop sign and a Stop line on the gradient.
Example:
A truck reversing in a straight line
