Drum test

                    2. Drum test

So u r done with the signal test....now its time for drum test.....in this test u will b alone in the car n u have to first go straight ahead between 2 rows of drums(barrels) n then first come from right side in reverse without touching the drums n then doing the very same from the left side.......seems scary? Yeah it did to me as i didnt drive before in my country so reversing n that roo without touching the barrels was a big deal but thanks to my instructor.....it was nothing more then practicing a technique n just replicating it later n alhamdulilah i cleared it in first attempt.....though i practiced it for 10 days before test.......so first we will discussncoming from the left side as its simpler

COMING FROM LEFT SIDE:

                                            When coming from left side make sure ur car is in the centre of single barrels on the left n steering wheel is straight.......now look out of ur left side back window n reverse till the time u see the second drum (full n clear) in the right row of drums  n a lil space behind it......at this point rotate steering wheel full to the left side n reverse looking into left side back view mirror.....when u see the handle of the door has gone in now look from right side back view mirror n see on which side u need to make space......the side u want to make space on, turn the steering full to the opposite side till u r in the middle of the row......straight ur steering(very important) and move a lil in reverse now stop n see both mirrors n look at the last drum on both sides ,r they clear? Do they have enough space with them.....if yes gud.....if no then adjust accordingly(remeber move the steering to side opposite to where u need more space like if u need more space on right move full steering to left n before proceeding back make it starit again)...

Make sure any adjustments should b made before going back

A tip that worked best for me when adjusting according to last drum.....always leave more space on the side on which steering wheel is.....more then the other side......the day u will learn that u wont hit any drum after that

Now u r adjusted.....strait steering n move back slowly till u r out of drums

Change the gear n starit ahead between the drum n now turn to right side

Make sure u dont move steering while coming forward too

As if it hits......it still is a failed test
