Well, my reversing got a bit better today
Anyway, got to Lee on Solent a bit early today, as I had nipped into town to get something and decided it wasnt worth going back home to only go out again 5 minutes later - I enjoyed my ice cream sat on the sea front
I had a different instructor again today, it was Stu and explained the reversing again and it seemed to click into place
In fact my very last reverse I managed to get into the box area in one hit, Stu asked if I wanted to do another one before finishing but I decided against it - finish on a high and all thatā¦
I got a few uncouple/couple excersises in - just got to remember BLACK then KCALBā¦
On the reversing front, it suddenly dawned on me that when the middle wheel of the trailer gets the first cone of the box area thats when you start bending the trailer in and if in doubt ādont be a tnuc, take a shuntā

That is called the āpivot pointā and if doing it that way works for you - great
New way of getting the reverse to āclickā - eat ice cream

Yup, that would work for me!
Have you added it to the training guide, then, Rog?
Sitting by the seafront in this weather - bliss! That would work for me too! How youāve suffered, DAF95XF!
Good luck on the test tomorrow!
