What maneuvers are required on a driving exam?

The specific maneuvers required on a driving exam vary by location (state, province, country). There's no universal standard. However, common maneuvers frequently tested include:

* Three-point turn (K-turn): Turning the vehicle around using a three-point turn in a limited space.

* Parallel parking: Parking parallel to the curb between two other parked cars.

* Angle parking: Parking at an angle to the curb, often in a designated parking space.

* Reverse parking: Backing into a parking space, either parallel or angled.

* Emergency stop: Performing a safe and controlled stop in response to a simulated emergency. This might involve a specific braking technique and check of surroundings.

* Turning: Executing safe and proper turns, including right turns, left turns, and potentially U-turns (depending on the location and specific test). This often includes signaling correctly, checking blind spots, and yielding appropriately.

* Hill starts: Starting on an incline without rolling backward. Techniques may vary depending on the vehicle (manual or automatic transmission).

Some tests may also include:

* Driving in traffic: Navigating roads with other vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic signals.

* Following directions: Successfully following the examiner's instructions and navigating a specified route.

* Use of mirrors and blind spot checks: Demonstrating proper use of mirrors and blind spot checks before changing lanes or making turns.

It's crucial to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or equivalent agency for the *exact* maneuvers required in your area. The requirements, and even the scoring criteria, can vary significantly. The driver's manual provided by your DMV will be the definitive source of information.
