Make sure you can swerve at least a metre. It's the old "push the right
hand forward to swerve right" stuff. It's the only thing that peep failed
on the day I did my test.

The course varies depending on which state you're in.

yeah im not to bad at the u-turn but i will give that and otehr things a
go... but as for dodging conts i haven't done much of that because i don't
have any cones lol.... closest thing would ahve to be lane splitting
(naughty i know)

need more emergency braking practise. although i'd had a few cars pull out
on me... enough to make it so i setup on the brakes more then i need to just
incase the car pulls out . better safe then sorry i feel.

Mate, you keep chucking 'em over the fence, I can't help
