Pulling Up on the Right

Sometimes you’ll need to stop on the right-hand side of the road, for example when parking or turning around. Here’s how:

Steps

1. Check Mirrors and Signal

   • Check your rear and right mirrors.

   • Glance over your right shoulder.

   • Signal right.

2. Pick a Safe Spot

   • Avoid driveways, junctions, or busy spots.

   • Make sure there’s room for other vehicles to pass.

3. Slow Down

   • Brake gently.

   • Press the clutch (manual cars) as you slow.

4. Steer Right

   • Move carefully to the curb.

   • Keep a safe gap — don’t get too close or swing too wide.

5. Straighten Up

   • Line up parallel with the curb.

6. Secure the Car

   • Handbrake on.

   • Neutral (or park if automatic).

   • Cancel the signal.

7. Check and Adjust

   • Make small moves forward or back if needed.

Tips

• Clutch control helps you stay smooth and precise.

• Stay alert — watch for oncoming traffic and cyclists.

• Practice on quiet roads before trying it in busier areas.
