Reversing:

The candidate will be able to safely reverse the combination through a designated course, demonstrating fairly accurate steering and speed control whilst taking effective all round observations.

To complete the exercise the trailer must be positioned within the yellow painted box without striking the barrier to the rear of the trailer.

If the candidate is unsuccessful on the reversing section, the next section will not be completed.
