Is this method for all cars??

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

@@anamnaeem6576 Like any reference point, it might need some adjustment to suit your driving style or type of car.

[@anamnaeem6576]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool thank you so much for yr respond😊😊😊

[@adami3532]

Fantastic use of drones, great channel

[@MedicsMoist]

It's really helpful seeing it from different points of view!

[@PoeticJackson]

I just wanted to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for these videos, today I passed my practical driving test in Bury St Edmunds with only 4 minors FIRST TIME in my own car...your videos are so thorough and most of all detailed with so many camera angles. I just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated and you are helping so many of us out here along side our driving lessons. It would be awesome if you did more mock tests in BSE but with the new Sat Nav as I think that would be helpful for new learners to ease their worries over the new test and what to expect. All in all, great job guys and keep it up! See you on the roads :)

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Wow - thanks very much for the nice comments! Amazingly, we have tomorrows new video ready for release - which is a full replica of a test here in BSE! It includes the sat-nav and everything the examiner would say, so we hope it helps others that have their tests soon. Well done for passing - and good luck on the road!

I studied these videos a lot and they helped me understand the manoeuvres better. Passed today with only 3 minors. Thanks so much for sharing

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Well done! Good luck on the road 👍🏼

[@mariaalvi5537]

How many lessons you have?

[@istriver.]

You're a great teacher Mam. Not every Driving instructor knows the art of teaching and making things easy to understand in an interesting or fun way.

[@Kunjo79]

I’ve watched all your videos many times and on the 6th of December I passed first time. Your videos taught me everything I needed to know before my instructor asked me to do it. So when my instructor asked me to do a reverse bay park for example, I was in perfect every time. I can honestly say if it was for the videos I wouldn’t have learnt so quickly. Thank you all so much :)

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks very much - and well done for passing! Have fun on the road 👍🏼

I was great at this was doing it in a mini during lessons then a month before my test instructor changed cars into a corsa and suddenly I was struggling thankfully I got park on the right during my test!! PASSED with 3 minors!!

good video again. my instructor has randomly asked me to park into a bay at the end of lesson and it's all about when you turn from what i've gathered. i haven't done para or reverse yet.

[@socialskillsplus8620]

Best articulation of instructions of how to park. I am using this as a tutorial for my son who' s a visual learner.

[@soywaz6645]

This is one of the best driving tutorials I’ve ever seen. It’s exactly what I needed. That’s mostly down the brilliant commentary and the perfect camera angles recorded from the drone. Genius!

[@VirgoDoll]

I live in NYC the bay parks are NOT on our road tests nor is it taught in driving school. I have been all over the lines and I damaged someone's car forward bay parking...this video is very very helpful thank you. I spent over 1200 dollars at a driving school and no one taught us bay parking and when i asked they really didnt know how to teach it!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We're glad you find our video useful! If you can find a quiet car park then have a little practice, so you are ready for the next time. We usually prefer to reverse into parking bays though, as the car is more manoeuverable, and its easier to drive forwards out of the bay afterwards (see our other video if needed).

[@RaisingstarShanth]

Awesome… when i was practising, didn’t understand what went wrong… actually i need to position my vehicle on opposite side of road for more turning radius

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That’s right - as we need plenty of room to turn into the bay forwards. 👍🏼

[@abena1681]

I was told to carry out the forward bay parking in my test and I passed my test 🎉🎉

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Great job!

[@RosskillbaneC]

Think this always depends on the size of your car. My vw polo 6n2 I had years ago was brilliant for parking spaces. Straight in. Now my ford focus is a nightmare. Im weirdly so much better at reverse parking. Plus I feel it's better and quicker getting out.

[@sarahcallaghan3117]

You've done everything i needed to learn so my main ones are manoeuvres as a refresher clutch control and msm definitely sank in watching and listening I'll update how i go .😄

[@dontworry4724]

My instructor hasn’t told me to go on other side of the road, looks so much easier to get in like that

[@lynsey4224]

Neither has mine. I'm gonna try that.

[@TheWoodlandpixie]

The last time I failed I was told by the examiner that I would incur a minor if I attempted to straighten up my forward parking manoeuvre, and I did so they must have changed this since you posted this video

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

You might get a minor fault for straightening up, but we wouldn’t worry about that as it is unlikely to affect the outcome of the test. 👍🏼

[@faathee8740]

Dear ones, Thank you very much for the wonderful videos, amazingly explained. They're clear to understand and easy to follow. I passed my test yesterday. 1st go Thank you for all your effort and hard work. Highly appreciated) Love, from Australia.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks very much for your lovely comment! Good luck on the road :-)

[@blueninjanoname7338]

I failed my test for this, the examiner said I didn't check my right mirror before I turned right into the bay. Gutted because this is one of the easier manoeuvre to control and I was just so nervous I rushed it.

[@hamadali-de4xf]

Yeh just make sure you're checking mirrors a lot its a common reason for failures.

[@CourtneyAmberXx]

I failed my test today for this maneuvere as well but for a different reason. I feel your pain. 😭

[@akarshaakarsha6661]

Very clear ,thank you ❤

[@mickeygezae5905]

It's very easy guy make sure the last line in the driver side door hand , and that's much easier than anything but I was struggling to find y reference point and finally it's work for me 😂 and I hope it work for U as well .

[@bees32189v2]

This one is quite a tricky maneuver for me as I can never tell if I'm in the bay correctly. The method my driving instructor said was to turn into the bay when the front wheel hits the first bay line of the target bay as opposed to the video saying it needs to be under the rearview mirror (though judging by that logic it's probably about the same thing anyway.) It definitely helps to be on the opposite side of the road to the bay that you are turning into as you will have more time to correct yourself than if you were to be right next to it. I feel like I wouldn't have to second guess myself if the car had a camera view that shows the bonnet of the car and the road in front of it so I could have a more detailed and precise view if I was going into the bay correctly or not.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Our Nissan Leaf (the red car) actually has 4 cameras, including one on the nose of the car as you describe! We can't rely on the cameras on a test though, and must keep observing all around the car for any danger. Once in the bay we are allowed to open our door or use the blind spot mirrors to check our position, and 'tidy up' if needed.

[@cpouk8285]

Wish I would of watched this first because I had a bay park and my instructor always told me to postion myself in the middle then go into a bay.. and I got a fail for it . 😪 should of stayed on the left . Thank you for uploading

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Sorry to hear that you failed, and better luck next time!

[@hollybabyyy]

Its funny that i can do the other 2 methods but not this. Was practicing this in that exact parking lot yesterday. Think the bay line reference point for me was in the middle of the window/door

[@deanmadnut2614]

This car park doesn't look to bad. I would aim for those lamp posts since they are centre of the bays. I find it alot easier parking with parked cars because you can see where your going. Thanks for the video I'm gonna start using reference points.

Maybe just turn when it feels right, instead of overthinking it. Or sort of mark the centre of the bay (by the kerb) in your mind and just drive towards it

My instructor says that I've to be a car's width before turning into the bay so i have to be more aggressive with the turn into the bay. Your video shows to be on the other side of the road before turning in. That'd be much easier. Wonder why he won't let me go to the opposite side of the road? ☹️

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The more space we have to turn, the easier it is to park. As long as we are careful not to get in other peoples way we prefer to use the whole road for this manoeuvre. 👍🏼

[@KarimKarim-od9tw]

Thank you very much for your nice videos As usual. Quick question where we position ourselves when there is two ways as you have done the exercises on a one way?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We still need to use the same road position, in order to have enough space for the car to turn into the bay - so we must wait until there is no oncoming traffic before moving to the other side of the road.

How to do forward bay parking with Mazda 6 Hatchback? I always find it difficult as it is wide and long. I even had accident causing scratches on the passenger doors

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We always prefer to reverse into parking bays, as the car is more manoeuvrable and less likely to scrape something.

[@Muhammadosama-q9m]

Very helpful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@francescasmith1510]

I passed my test 11 months ago and just got a car. I wasnt really shown how to drive into a parking bay just reverse. Most of the car parks where i live are busy & there isnt time to reverse park. Im really struggling with picking it up the forward way 😭

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Even when it’s busy we always prefer to reverse into parking bays, as it’s much safer to drive out forwards afterwards. We find using the 45° method (see our other video) makes our intended parking position most obvious to following drivers.

[@james7235]

What do I do if the car park is busy and there is a car behind me? Do I indicate and pull into the left to allow that car to pass me before I start this procedure? Thank you for all your very helpful video's

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We would normally indicate towards our parking space, and complete the manoeuvre as soon as it is safe. Cars behind us will normally wait until we have finished, but keep an eye out for anyone impatient! We cover this in this video: Real-Life Bay Parking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYjKfnWhmKyNq6M 👍🏼

[@TheInsignificant]

Much thanks for this video. However, one comment : Reverse to forward direction change- parking brake is not applied to secure the car - Fail ?. I was failed on my test because i did not apply the parking brake even though I was in full control of the car.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

In the UK there is no requirement to use the handbrake at all - except for parking of course! Faults will only be given for a loss of control, you are free to use (or not use) the handbrake whenever you think best.
