Safe Turning, Reversing and Parking

Control off-tracking and tail swing during low-speed manoeuvres.

Large vehicles follow different paths

Rear wheels cut inside the front-wheel path, while the rear body can swing outward. Plan enough space for both effects.

Reverse only when necessary

Inspect the area first, use mirrors and cameras correctly and reverse slowly. Sound a warning where appropriate.

Use a guide safely

Agree on signals before moving. If the guide disappears from view, stop immediately until contact is restored.
