🙌

[@theoneandonlyzulu3342]

Finally, the best reverse parking explanation I've had. I'll give this ago in my next lesson

[@GetDriving]

Glad it helped! Let us know how it goes :)

[@theoneandonlyzulu3342]

Ok, so the is your shoulder inline advice I think is slightly off, because it depends where your sitting. Should probably be, is the line just behind half way in the window. However the line counting did help me understand why my instructor got me to reverse/turn at that point.

[@aliatabassum6126]

Good point

[@dalia5156]

Me toooo omg. And my test is in 4 days

[@kwazyb]

Definitely

[@oliviazuu2171]

Watched this video this morning and sure enough it was the first thing we did on my test. Happy to say i passed!! Thank you so much for all your videos, they were a great help and eased my nerves. Good luck to all taking tests!

[@lindaalero7399]

Congratulations

[@blessingmichael2602]

This is the simplest video I’ve ever watched… just watching it alone gave me confidence to understand how I need to reverse May God continue to bless you😭

[@anummorata]

I have my test tomorrow and this manouvre was the one one I am panicking the most about. This helped me feel a lot better! Thanks so much ❤️❤️

[@anummorata]

Update: passed first time 💕💕💕

[@filmstoenjoy1543]

@@anummorata any tips please? X

[@ellierobb5250]

Well done!

[@reubenkirby3835]

Which manoeuvre did you get as I’m struggling with reverse bay

[@munisamade]

Congratulations 👏

[@healfdeane]

You helped me pass my test! I’d never done this manoeuvre before in my driving lessons and had to give them up early July as was waiting so long for my test to come round. My partner and I practised the reverse bay park on Tuesday eve but we struggled to get it in the bay in one go as had no reference point. I watched your video that evening but didn’t get a chance to practice before my test which was yesterday afternoon. Low and behold I was asked to do this manoeuvre in my test and had to do it for the the first time from what I’d seen in your video and it worked! I parked into the bay almost perfectly without having to straighten up. I couldn’t believe it! Had it not been for your video I would almost certainly have flunked it. So thank you, thank you, thank you!! Anyone watching this who has a test coming up, trust me, it really does work!

[@a.5682]

My driving test took 33’ minutes, everything was perfect. At the end the examiner told to make a reverse parking in a bay at the DVSA station, and I failed on reverse parking. This one was really helpful. Thanks

[@e.v.a7087]

I got my driving licence two years ago and this video is still helpful for me

[@youman5079]

Do you receive your driving licence within 3 weeks of passing your test? Because I haven’t received mine

[@foyrita3073]

Oh my God!!! I watched this video yesterday and tried it today. It works!!! My driving instructor was surprised when I nailed my parking.. thank you so much

[@zl3778]

Thanks for using the colour pattern to anticipate the parking spot and distance.... it really helps

[@munisamade]

I couldn't agree more!

[@fizaahmed9758]

Been struggling a lot on how to bay park and reverse bay , your videos really helped ! Really recommend it. Watch it a few times.

[@dianagrace8998]

I passed my test, I’m so grateful to God, thanks for sharing 🙏🏾💜

[@shaunig6716]

Thank you so much for this, reverse bay parking is something thing I struggle with at the moment

[@aks1175]

Thank you so much for these videos! I kept on messing up the manoeuvres but your explanations were so simple.

[@007JJulijevna]

Thank you so much for the clear formula and the visuals! I watched the video, sat to my car, went to the nearest parking, counted 3 lanes, and parked 7 times in different directions and locations without hesitation :) Thank you!

[@phionahnanyonga2569]

Best instructor for me I have learnt something today thumbs up to you man .God bless you

[@roelbergfeld2413]

I'm a driving instructor myself from the Netherlands for 9 years, you are great the best instruction video from the uk

[@graceb970]

So clear and easy to follow, the animation helped. Thanks again

[@Growth5025]

I passed my test today your videos have been so instrumental! Thanks so much! God bless you and your business 🙏

[@charchar4957]

I love all of francis videos, he explains so well and his videos are so helpful for learners like myself

[@yasminakhtarkhan5104]

Thank you for the helpful tutorial.Very well explained and demonstrated.

[@moboluwadurooshodi6083]

Thank you Francis. Watched your videos severally and I passed my test at Liverpool this morning. God bless you ❤️

[@Catzvibing]

You explained this so perfectly. Can’t wait to practice this technique

[@scouseness]

wish 'id seen this before I done my lessons!!!! 25hrs and passed, just about haha, good luck to everyone who is learning!!!

[@chanelrees6699]

honestly this is one of the best videos iv seen explaining! thank you so much! iv struggled with this so much!

[@xabelngandwe9000]

Am really finding your videos useful will try practice this on my next lesson

[@aliciacb8284747274]

Thank you! This has been the clearest instructional video for figuring out lining up for bay parking. My instructor kept getting me to use reference points on the car which is unhelpful for me as I drive a lot of different hire cars for work. Going to try this tomorrow!

[@mathsandenglishwithj6794]

I have learnt reverse parallel and bay parking from your videos and I also found your method is the best, well done keep it up🍰

[@munisamade]

Thanks for your hard work on making this video! It's really helpful and very clear too.

[@sng3939]

This is manoeuvre I used to dread bot practice is key! Not only that but make it simple. It’s not as scary if you break it into steps.

[@anmedia7747]

This is definitely the hardest one the animation made it very clear of what to do! Awesome formula thanks!

[@GetDriving]

Thank you!

[@thehomebird999]

This is so helpful. Thank you for making this video

[@mariamjackson2994]

You're a great teacher, I couldn't hold my finger back,I hit the subscribe button with no hesitation. New subie here. My test is due and mastering a lot from your videos.

[@natashas857]

God bless you, you should be nominated for the driving instructor of all times😄 when my instructor explained reverse parking I was left with the headache and the feeling that I never going to get it😄 Thank you so much 🙏👏

[@therealist2000]

This is the easiest way to do it omg, how you break it down with the visuals is crazy !

[@cameronholmes1899]

I’ve started my lessons and these videos are so helpful for when I do them in my lessons thankyou

[@GetDriving]

[@jakewhittle4392]

Brilliant video, very well explained!

[@orboakin8074]

I just passed my road test in St. John's, Newfoundland😄😄🤩🤩And this video was very helpful! I am grateful to you! I almost failed because I was unfamiliar with reverse bay parking until your video helped me with tips and reminders. Seriously, thank you for helping this college guy pass and finally get his full license!

[@mercetajs]

idk if the bays are smaller in UK, but i tried this on a somewhat big parking lot and i needed only about 2 bay lines from my destiny spot, but this stuff really do work.. it helps a lot to visualize where you are compared to your chosen spot.. did it on both sides.. and it worked wonderfully

[@Jamie-js3qw]

this was logically explained!

[@salmamullen8938]

Brilliant lesson.

[@ben.p.c9560]

Great video mate. Thanks for the help. Top man...

[@ben.p.c9560]

nice work mate, thank u

[@juliem1674]

Thank you!!! This might sound silly but i have struggled with counting these damn lines!

[@cn5233]

Thank you!!! This video is SO HELPFUL!!!

[@candiaconnell6087]

This is such a simple demonstration of reverse bay parking. Thank you Francis, I will definitely practice using this technique.

[@NargizTagieva]

Thank you! Nice explanation!

[@Hasel_on_paws-]

Really helpful video! thank you :)

[@ranginijeyatharan6665]

Thank you

[@RC56036]

Its really helped me. Thanks for that video😚

[@NelTwins]

loved this! Thank you

[@stopmotion_cool3692]

This was sooo helpful I was straggling with this parking I think now I get it what on about thanks 🙏🏻

[@josephdasho7277]

This is such a good tutorial, honestly.

[@workaccount1991]

It really help me especially I find it difficult to reverse parking in a bay than next to car so really help me to put the last line with my shoulder, which really makes y day training very easy , Thanks 🙏

[@baharAbdullah-ln8rf]

Thanku we will not spending to much money because of your videos best instructor

[@chloew2571]

i was struggling with this today in my lesson like i wasn't doing my observations properly because i was too focused on the mechanics/ reversing and steering and this helped a lot. thank you

[@jigsy1179]

dont worry about it i passed my test before and was driving for years then got banned and now im taking my test again and i am the same lmao

[@hafizahb1315]

That happens to me too 😭 I'm going to learn maneovers tomorrow but there's so much other controls to focus on I forget observation

[@nanamuluba8286]

Your just the best Francis 👌

[@aminacisse507]

I really like your video's Very helpful and understanding

[@GetDriving]

Glad to hear that!

[@rtk3454]

thank u sooo much this is helping me get confident

[@relaxwithnature6532]

This worked perfectly today thanks

[@Arjon878]

You are so clear 👏

[@ramadimetselekgau8861]

Thank you so much for your videos, especially the parking ones, I passed first time🎉🎉🎉

[@tobyhancock449]

don't understand why they dont teach the 45 method, this is so much more difficult and unusable in a real life situation

[@asiadavid8584]

I wish I had seen this method before my exam tomorrow it's very easy thank you

[@Adesolaa_]

I’m going to pass my mock test! Amen 🙏

[@tomlodge1329]

This is good. Only issue is when someone is literally right behind you the 3 line rule could be an issue. I have a Toyota Yaris which has a poor turning circle when going Forward into a bay so I reverse when possible.

[@dmqed7425]

YOU VERY GOOD AND I HAD LEARNT ALOT FROM YOU THAN FROM MY INSTRUCTOR.

[@ajeeshscaria9567]

I tried today, It was wonderful

[@brownayy]

Thanks for the help!

[@GetDriving]

Happy to help!

[@kadimetsamagi6417]

Amazing video thank you. Line is same level with your shoulder.mmmm. i keep practicing my test is next months,xxx

[@aimeemerton5604]

Thanks for this. Just had a minor for reverse parking.... I was taught how to do it but never told a reference point. So I'm hoping this helps xxx

[@sanjojain3648]

It worked actuality on my first attempt 🎉❤

[@farihaaditi5692]

Excellent explanation

[@thelegend3965]

I’ve been told that when doing this, I need to match the 3rd line up with the gear stick, and it works, so I’m presuming that there is more then one point to use.

[@rhysburris4468]

I’ve got a lesson at 5pm tonight so it’s gonna be very dark, hopefully I can still do it well 😂

[@sarahusman6123]

This guys is amazing

[@xenne.]

couple lessons from a mock test I’m excited

[@181VICKSTER]

Such a good video on this manovere 👍

[@GetDriving]

Thank you!

[@thickaz4705]

[@EGood-lh5rs]

You really good!!!

[@jessicaluc9338]

Thank you for this video has been helpful am I been struggling with this

[@tylerwester6588]

Thanks I'll do this saw another video doing this too

[@targettmark88]

thank you

[@hussainmahdi702]

My god I really want to thank you how you make it easy to me love u

[@mogs9999]

the problem with this method is that, if you turn the wheel quicker or slower this will also effect where you end up. as well as if you revers a bit faster or slower.

[@rdu239]

Yah, only applicable if you are in a pinch at the parking with too many vehicles around, however when ever possible that is not the scenario try to position you vehicle a bit slant opposite from when you will reverse park, your margin of error in bigger due to you are not reversing at a 90 degree angle

[@gamesmaster1060]

also it can take a bit long to keep lining yourself up when there are cars behind you

[@Prodemestudio]

Its risky to start steering while reversing. You might go off the line

[@a.856]

Thanks alot

[@monisamujawar2232]

Thank you very much for this great video. Will try this technique during my next lesson. But i was wondering whether the reference point will change if you adjust the seat??🤔

[@leneprincess3329]

Im going to take my exam tomorrow praying I can pass it thank you now I have an idea

[@kjc2243]

I am going to pass my test!

[@gurlfiend76]

This makes me feel hopeful I can do this & maybe pass in 3 tries or less 😊

[@boomslang2681]

Easy to understand

[@hafizahb1315]

Having my lesson on manoeuvres tomorrow

[@maxsteelMountainLover]

nice!
