Who is still watching this even after they have passed their test ?say aye!! Love u ash!

[@kevinirlen3539]

Aye .. still :D

[@jakerockznoodles]

Me too! I'm curious to try this because I only learned the 90 degree method but my parents usually use this one!

[@sleptbeforewoke2142]

just passed my test but i never really learned how to park in the bay - your video made the concept very easy and had to practice a few times in the evening at parking spots, slowly getting the hang of it thanks :)

[@ashley_neal]

That's brilliant! Glad the video's helped a bit. Ashley

[@jak3y369]

Gonna practice this all day tomorrow before driving to work for the first time on Monday haha

[@S3r53]

Ahahahaa that's exactly what i did too ^_^

[@politicalminds]

Hahaha.. Same. I'll use the parking lot in front of my house as reverse bay parking is quite challenging.

[@reddeadbret4218]

Much better explanation than I have been getting. Too many instructors think learners can gauge where to put the car on mirrors alone without a reference - that is a nightmare when you're only starting out. Thank you sir!

[@lindaajide2115]

Best video I’ve seen so far on revers parking !

[@toothlessnightfury1820]

I believe that for whatever reason you need to steer while reversing you better rotate the car on forward drive to the required direction and reverse straight to it, unless parallel parking cause it's the only way.

[@lumierdusoleil]

Thank you sir ! Very slowly explained..and with details. The best explanation!

[@tylerwester6588]

I liked how you said it in the video thank you

[@HouseofPrado]

Great video! Thanks so much!

[@arlenecordner6696]

Thank you this is really good 👍

[@MrNeeds]

I've been watching a lot of your videos recently Ashley, very helpful, but I do have a few questions that might work for me, I'm a qualified Forklift driver for reach and counter-balance trucks and obviously there's a little crossover with driving road vehicles and industrial vehicles, one way I learned in a forklift to navigate turns is to use "pivot points", this is where the fulcrum area is used to measure the turning circle of the vehicle to assess where your vehicle will end up 100% of the time. Now obviously it'll vary because the turning circle in a forklift is much more than that of a road going vehicle, but seeing this video, I can't help but think if the same technique could be used here, if you need more information on pivot point use in turning, there's plenty of documentation online regarding it.

[@izzaismail8420]

i wish these tutorial videos were filmed with actual cars parked both sides so i can see how the mirrors will look like

[@annajames8122]

Ashley, Just wondering, if I want to park at bay 185, can I turn so that front of my car stops in front of bay 404 instead of 405 before reversing.

[@w1i2l3m4a56r]

Great. I have my driving test on tuesday the 28th. ;)..

[@ashley_neal]

Good Luck :)

The spots differ from 4:00 to 4:02, 😂😂

[@The_Tactical_Taco]

Just a little hint for anyone with a small(ish) car: if the front of the car is roughty in line with the cars next to you or you can see it is in the bay, just park there. Don't park all the way in the back of the space. I've seen drivers get infuriated when they think they spot an empty bay, but there is just a small car in the back. Even once seen a near accident, because the driver wanted to front park in the bay at speed, only to find a smart car in the back of the bay.

[@jony6107]

Good lesson. In my town,for some reason, the reverse parking is not possible during the test so i never learned that with my instructor. Funny thing is,afther i passed, i tried that manuver based only on my senses in between two parked cars. I was amazed how easy that is when you have a point of referince on the sides. Tried the same thing without cars and i ended up in 2 parking spots 😂😂 practice makes perfect in the end. The lines don't help much if it's night and you can't realy see them.

[@DirigiblePlum69]

This is true! I can do it when there is vehicles or a wall in between but when it comes to me doing it with empty spaces I get it all wrong.

[@politicalminds]

Very accurate! I totally lose my spatial awareness without a point of reference.

[@maracotan6498]

Clear and precise and to the point. Thank you! I like how you even show what the side mirrors should display to the driver and also the driver’s perspective of the parking spot should look like before reversing. Thank you very much!

[@El_Smeghead]

Ashley, genuine question after finding this old video on your channel for some research I'm doing... Why is reversing into a parking bay preferential to, and promoted more, than parking forwards into a bay? I work at an airport car park where we strongly recommend that customers park forwards into a parking bay. This is due to the increased amount of collisions that occur when people try to reverse into a bay and misjudge (especially the offside) distance of the rear of their vehicle to the one parked beside it. When we approach customers and ask them to please park in forwards, we're usually met with, "I don't know how to park forwards" or "That isn't what I was taught". I've lost count of the amount of cars I've had to park for people as they themselves just don't have the skills or spacial awareness to park in a standard 5m x 2.4m parking bay. The other reason "forward parking" is beneficial, is that they are going to be removing and returning luggage (or in the case of a supermarket car park) groceries, into their boot. Obviously, this is made much easier with the boot accessible and less likely to cause damage to surrounding vehicles, as they won't have to drag or carry large heavy bags the whole length of their vehicle. Imagine when bays 580, 582, 558, 559 & 560 (in your video if you're reversing into 581) are all occupied when you get back to your own car with 15 bags of shopping... how will you load them into the boot? You'd have to either pull out into the lane, blocking it so you can load up or drag the bags down the side of the car. Also, when people do try to forward park, they either attempt it in 1 go and end up sideswiping the rear of the adjacent car with the side of theirs or just spend a lot of time edging back and forth at the wrong angle with little success. Surely, entering a parking bay forwards gives you much better vision too, as you're naturally looking forwards anyway and can see both the left and right front end of your own vehicle in one view using peripheral vision, rather than switching your view from left to right in your mirrors and over your shoulder. I'm going to be making my own video on this, similarly with the aerial view, showing my technique of how to easily forward park and would be interested in your thoughts on it. Thanks, Andy.

[@KS-df1cp]

My god!! Finally someone with suv style vehicle showing the correct reference point. Im learning on CRV and NONE of the sedan tutorials work! Nobody has shown where to stop while turning left and how the alignment will look like in the right mirror! Thank you so much!!

[@hannacrick225]

Thank you, Ashley! This is the best video on reverse bay parking on You Tube. My instructor taught me the "three lines" method but I wanted to to learn this method as it's more useful in real life situations. I watched some videos from different channels before but that just resulted in frustration until I found your tutorial. Thank you for you excellent teaching style, your videos are the best. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@jacob1121]

If you do this on your test, try to park next a car as it is MUCH easier to gauge where you are.

[@YuukitheMighty1]

This is actually really helpful. I've been having a lot of trouble with 45 degree parking and I have a test scheduled for July 9th.

[@cherrybellemilagrosa3438]

in my city where always parking space are almost full and busy. this one is great to use so that other drivers could hardly steal space from u is just a matter of a second while manuevering to park

[@eternalending8807]

I feel like looking behind u is easier than using the rear mirrors.

[@lexsoft3969]

Good reference points. I have already known it from other sources. But you give for different sides of parking space. Thanks.

[@malounavarro3499]

This is my favorite parking method. The first parking method ive learned during my driving lessons. I had more trouble parking using forward and parallel parking method.

[@HumTum78611]

Great! this is the only method that works for bay parking..

[@princesshabesha332]

Hi, when on parking on the right do we let the line fully disappear the same way we do the park to left? or are we turning full lock when the line starts to disappear? many thanks

[@migueladdison8854]

Good tips parking 🙏😊👍

[@jftechdrones]

I used the 90 degree method before passing my test a few months back, however since than I have been using this method and have found it to be much more straightforward. With this in mind, any idea as to why almost all other instructors (on YT at least) recommend the 90 degree method?

[@ludditedred]

Good tips here! I passed my test 2 years ago but I'm still bad at reverse parking even after having rear sensors fitted. It was easy in the tiny car I learned in, but not so easy in a 2 litre Ford estate, hah.

[@topsecia765]

Hi! What is the reference point for Toyota innova

[@recleev]

I failed my first practical driving test because I could not do a proper 45 degree parking. This video helped me a lot pass my practical driving test and get my driver's license. I am have not perfected it yet, but I will keep practicing and reviewing this video until I am near perfect doing it. Thanks!

So, full lock to the left, full lock to the right and straighten wheel for parking on bay.

No, full luck first, straight, full lock again, then straight

2:03 he dont make sense can someone tell me what he means

[@storm9100]

demiru i think he meant until the line closest to you disappears into your mirror

[@TheLondonCyclist]

He meant the line closest to you. The first white line.

[@WaldoBC]

No, He is looking out the right mirror. You are parking in between 2 lines. The left line is closer to you as a driver than the right. Your parking bay far line (on the right) JUST disappeared in the right mirror.

[@gg14971]

can you also provide a tutorial on bay parking using the 90 degree method? and which parking method is best to use? It would be greatly appreciated thank you!

[@ashley_neal]

Have a look. Thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5nJfKumg66toNE

[@ashley_neal]

I would advise knowing both methods so you can choose which suits the situation you are in. Thanks, Ashley.

[@lexsoft3969]

Based on my experience : - If the traffic behind is quiet, you can use 90 degree method - In a busy traffic, use 45 degree. Many drivers are accustomed to using it. So if you use the 90 degree in this situation which requires you to move forward further, drivers behind may think you just want to continue moving forward, hence they could block your way to reverse. I have found other advantages in learning the 90 degree method. I had used it for reversing around a corner when I entered a wrong lane in a closed parking area as well as for turning my direction. So mastering both methods can be useful for you.

[@sadiakhalid1322]

If we are in busy car park and doing forward parking and a car come in our front bay or if a car coming from our right side or left side so in these both cases we will continue our menuver special during our driving test

[@believer051]

I have my test on Monday and 45 degree is not acceptable they say.. Is it true?

[@WaldoBC]

I've had a student do the 90-degree method. Examiner talked to me after... suggested I teach the 45-degree method to my students. I mentioned that I just started as I personally, I find it simpler, quicker and easier. It also avoids having the person behind you block your spot if he was too close.

[@harrislondon]

My issue with people is forward bay parking. Lazy poor line of sight and dangerous to pull out of. Anyone whom bay parks forward should retake their test.

[@jakerockznoodles]

Except Forward Bay Parking is actually IN the test. That's why it gets taught. 😂 Don't blame the drivers, blame the system.
