What should you do if a pupil drives the rear wheels over the kerb when they turn left?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

Tell them that this fault can be avoided by first swinging out to the right

Ask them to explain why they think this happened

Explain that the rear wheels cut in when turning left

Demonstrate how this was caused by turning the steering wheel too late

Show the answer

Ask them to explain why they think this happenedThis was the right answer

Learning is far more effective when a pupil can identify for themselves the reason why something has gone wrong. If they can't work it out, you can help them to understand with an explanation or a diagram. When they understand the problem, the pupil should then practise this manoeuvre.
