Women drivers - a puzzle for you to try and solve

My ex-wife had been ex- for a long time before this snippet came to me by way of our daughter, gladly, but this means that I couldn't ask her how she managed it - and I just can't work it out.

Just to give you a bit of background on the lady's driving skills, she once made such a hash of pulling out into traffic on a double-parked road that she blocked all traffic movement and had to get out of the car and have a little cry until a man wandered over and saved the day.

Anyway: your car is in your drive. Your gate entry is a double-width one, wide enough to allow two cars to pass at the same time. A little way down the road and to the right when exiting the drive are some roadworks. Because of these, the council have placed a Roadworks sign just to the right of your gate as you exit, and for good measure they've also placed another similar sign on the opposite side of the road, but further up, so it's to the left as you exit.

What manoeuvre/s must you perform so as to hit BOTH signs? If it helps, the road you're pulling onto is a moderate hill, downhill to the right.
