I passed my test today and wanted to say a huge thanks as parallel parking was an area I really struggled with as I never knew when to turn the wheel right and I struggled with the angle, but by watching this video I understood that I needed to wait for the curb to disappear in the left mirror. I didn’t get parallel park in my test, but this really helped!

Needed to refresh myself after 4 years and turns out I do it correctly still 👌🏻 just sometimes go in at too much of a angle

[@ArminThapa]

i have been driving for year and half now bt i cant remember the last time i did this parking cuz i really didn't had to. so i decided to practice it on my own n most of the time i ended up too far away from the kerb or too far away from the car in-front which is not gonna work if u have a small space so here i am watching it again and again.

Be sure to look all around the vehicle when conducting this manoeuvre, especially the back window!

[@Eleniaax]

This is so helpful as I forgotten how to do this

[@myblog2259]

Very good information

[@T.K.9]

Man I remember my first instructor who probably made me hate maneuvers. We used the same technique. And through the course of my lessons. We focused on mostly driving and left maneuver training for last. When we eventually started doing maneuvers, he just get cranky like in a fit of rage when I mess up. Pretty much what made me go hiatus on my driving lessons. And went for a different instructor. Some instructors just do not get that some suffer more anxiety more than the other.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It’s good to remember that making mistakes is all part of learning! There is never any need to get angry - just stay calm and keep trying your best. 👍🏼

[@bernicebalfour-asare4628]

Very good

[@nanabuah5483]

When I did the 1st and 2nd try of the reverse parking I didn't do it properly and I was that close .

[@L3TH4L1TY]

learnt via the same method, but don't understand why I was taught odd references that are fairly height specific, meaning most for parallel and bay parking didn't work as I'm quite tall

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Reference points often have to be adjusted to suit the individual, as everyones driving position is different. On this manoeuvre we generally need to fine-tune the position of the left mirror to suit each driver. Once the correct position is found, the manoeuvre is then quite reliable.

[@michael43567]

1-2-1 method seems so simple. Wonder why my instructor didn't teach me it

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Good question!

[@mdnyeemhossain5684]

Thank you.

[@vickywhitelaw4321]

my son passed 2 yrs ago and wasn't asked to do this it's now reversing into a parking bay

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There are 4 official test manoeuvres, but the examiner will only ask for one to be completed on each test. They can choose from Forward Bay Parking, Reverse Bay Parking, Parallel sparking, or the Right Reverse. We have made separate videos for each of these 👍🏼

[@whenraindropsfall]

1:30 in a real situation, I would've crashed into the car behind me by now

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

This method is optimised for the driving test, where we are allowed two car lengths of space to park in. In real life we park a little differently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYW5oHyFpJKUZ7s

[@laaganuk3812]

i have peugote 107 , still looking how to reverse park for my test

[@mimikasahun6195]

Thank you it's helpful

[@stevenv484]

I am unsure what to do, whether to look for the 45 degrees or for when the kerb disappears? Should I look for both or just one when deciding to steer right?

[@PhearMyWrath]

I seem to struggle with when to turn right. When I do I either end up too far from the kerb or I am too close. What am I doing wrong? Can't figure out a reference point

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We like to use the kerb disappearing from the left mirror as a reference point, but you might need to find your own. Of course, all reference points are a little inaccurate, as there are so many variables - such as the exact speed of the car, the speed we turn the steering wheel, or even our seating and mirror position. This is why we like to do everything slowly, so that we are more precise with our car control. Keep practising and you'll get it eventually!

[@stokeyone]

my driving test the guy asked me to do a reverse parallel park between two cars and it was on around a 20% incline aswell, i failed :( looking to re take my test soon

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Between 2 cars? I assume you aren’t in the U.K. then? Better luck next time 👍🏼

[@stokeyone]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool yeah it was in the UK,why do you ask? i forgot to add it was a reverse parallel parking in between two cars on a hill thanks

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

That's really unusual - as they should normally ask you to park behind a single car, as in the video. Anyway, keep practicing so you are ready if they ask you to do the same manoeuvre again!

[@stokeyone]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool Thanks, as i'm aware tests aren't allowed to be booked right now? i'm a carer for my disabled partner so am i classed as a carer under the critical workers? tyia

[@liamdocherty5857]

You know you mentioned how you might want to steer whilst not moving, won't I get a driving fault? Thanks and great vid!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If you’re in a tight spot, then it’s ok to steer without moving. It’s unlikely that you would get a fault, but even if you did that’s better than scraping something!

[@liliannehaddassah6362]

Thank you for your videos they have been great help to me.I have a test next week , my instructor thinks am ok but we have been fighting over me drifting too close to the curb or parked cars on my left. What reference point would you suggest?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

When driving along normal roads I often suggest lining the centre of the road with the bottom right corner of the windscreen, as it generally puts the car into a good road position. When passing parked cars there is no reference, but we should leave a 'doors width' gap whenever possible, incase someone opens their car door unexpectedly. If you need help judging this why not stop alongside a parked car with this gap and get used to how it looks, before practising at low speed. HTH

[@misstangshan95]

When you say at the end steering while stationary can help, how does it help if you're not moving and therefor can't tell what directional effect it has on the wheels?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If you steer fully right (or left) whilst stationary, then you know that as soon as the car moves it will turn hard right (or left!) - which can be helpful when it a tight spot.

[@Lefty7788tinkatolli]

Who else is here years after passing their test because they forgot how to do this manoeuvre and got themselves into a tight spot?
