Yeah - you’re ok - you know both but you are more likely to get 4 over 4.
There is nothing wrong with touching the gear lever whilst driving to check what gear you are in.This helps you to decide what gear you are going to choose next just as long as you dont keep yuor hand on the gear lever or take yuor eyes off the road REMEMBER If changing from high to low range make sure that you get your speed down low enough first .This works the same way with a knock over . REMEMBER when you stop put the button back down this helps to select yuor moving off gear GOOD LUCK
I’m surmising that you’re doing your course UK mainland, but if doing it Northern Ireland then the gear change exercise is still included on the test.
