Reverse Bay Parking using the 45 degree method. Permitted on the driving test.

Although the 90-degree method for bay parking can work extremely well for certain cars, there are pitfalls to it and that could be anything from the wheelbase dimension of a car, the turning circle of the car, or more commonly the fact that not every car park has equal and standard sized parking bays. The standard width of a car parking bay should be 2.4 meters, however, if the bay is bigger than 2.4 meters the method of carrying out the 90-degree method can become very unreliable. Therefore learning the 45deg could make life a lot easier for you and also tends to be the preferred method for experienced drivers.

@beatriceng4923 0 秒前 I am preparing my G2 test(Toronto)!!! Turn the steering wheel fully to the right & drive until I see the corner of the parking lot in the side view mirror --> I want to ask✏ 1) When I see the corner of the parking lot in my side view mirror, and then I need to straight the steering wheel before next step (reverse), right??! 2) My foot should fully step on the brake or lightly step on it when straightening the steering wheel?

1. yes straighten or go to full lock in the opposite direction, and then remove steering as required to get you into your bay. For no.2 Be gentle with the brake, you should never need to "step" on the brake pedal unless carrying out an emergency stop.
