Practice and feedback
It can take concentration to manage steering, braking and, in a manual, changing gears. Your instructor can break the task into manageable steps while helping you continue to observe the road and other people around you.
As control becomes more familiar, practise preparing earlier for turns and intersections. Review whether you had enough time to choose a suitable speed and position rather than rushing the final part of the task.
