[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- Pull into a parking spot
- Reverse into a parking spot
- 3 point turn
That's it.

* must use turn signals on everything or you fail
** must do headchecks for everything or you fail
*** can't use backup camera unless you are fully in the spot and are just adjusting 
**** must stop at stop sign (it seems obvious but lots of kids forget = automatic fail)[/quote]

My kid had this question -- do you need to use a turn signal when you are backing out of the parking spot?

I am pretty sure you do. Maybe those are the yellow splotches on the instructions?[/quote]

NP here.  Good call on the splotches!  I was trying to figure those out as well.  I told DS to us the turn signal like crazy and turn head side to side and entire body to back when in reverse (even bough you can’t see squat out the back)![/quote]

OK, but check out page 3.  Am I crazy?

You pull forward -- fine.   [b]Now you have to back in, turning the car towards the right... so you turn on your right side turn signal.[/b] all fine and good.

Now you are in the parking spot.  WHY are the blotches on the LEFT side of the car now?   You aren't going to turn left .. you pull out to the right, then back up again.  Correct?[/quote]

I think when you pull up to the spot, put the right signal on.  While backing into the spot, put on the left signal because the car is actually turning to the left while going backwards?  And then when you pull out put your right signal back on.  This is the only way I could guess the left signal would come into play.  [/quote]
