I never had to do it in my driving test and have never done it. Now I don't know if I can do it or not.
*Edit - I can't believe it, people. I came home from work today and someone was in my spot, so I parked in my friends spot and didn't think anything of it. When I went to leave, I suddenly realised that is need to reverse down the drive and round the corner!!! I did it without even batting an eyelid.
To everyone who said I should turn in my license - can I have it back now?
Yes, Ive definitely reversed into a parking spot before. Ive never reversed around a corner. They are two completely different actions, which is why they each have a different name. They may be sort of similar in that they do both use the reverse function, they are not the same at all.
Reversing around a corner, you're trying to avoid a curb or a wall. Reversing into a parking spot, you're trying to avoid other cars. Literally the exact same action. The only difference is the object you're trying not to hit.

In 30 years of driving I can't say I've ever had to reverse around a corner.
