In Saskatchewan, you have to do s-turns for your test. I just wondered if it was the same for the rest of canada.
You have to move into the curb on the approach to a right turn then move back out so your trailer stops anything from coming up the inside while you're turning.

Like that in Melbourne Australia

We call it Sharp right hand turn to the left :rofl:

You use the clutch to move out of the gear and tickle it into the next:eek: Hopefully without removing any bits of gear teeth, if you do it right the instructor won't say OUCH!:eek: Once you get used to them it's not too bad, just don't rush the change!

Whats weird is once you release the park brake you don't touch it again unless your parking!:ohmy: Even if your waiting at the lights! You can also cross your hands while steering, if he see's you feed it through your hands you get a bollocking! :unsure:

And remember you can turn right on red lights!

its alright kev had a tickle box on ma foden i used to drive, still say they are CRASH BOXES ,so when you expect to hit the road kev.
