UK Driving Test Manoeuvres

In this video we will have a look at the four driving test manoeuvres, the forward bay park, the reverse bay park, the parallel park and the pull up on the right and reverse back.
The video will take each driving test manoeuvre individually and examine what the driving examiner will be looking out for and how to avoid failing your driving test due to the manoeuvre.

Just passed my test first time today with 2 minors!! Can’t stress enough how much this video has helped me with any misconceptions and confusion with the driving test manoeuvres. Thank you so much! And good luck to everyone’s future driving tests!

Thanks for the great feedback. You can absolutely choose the method you use to reverse bay park. You can apply that to all the manoeuvres! As long as you complete the manoeuvre safely do it how you prefer

[@shirazdaradia4987]

Thank you for funtastic video

[@marcusmurray9764]

I am very sceptical about using reference points as you describe. The reason is simple, not all vehicles are the same, regardless of your experience only driving vehicles that do match. My child could not manover any of my vehicles using the same methods you teach as the proportions are different. A pickup, Defender 110 and a Ducato LWB are the vehicles they have to drive but I had to teach them after they passed their test. Teaching spacial awareness of any vehicle is far better and far more transferrable than a "driving by numbers" technique that only teaches how to pass a test or on a very similar vehicle. We found a different instructor for the next child who was able to then drive all the vehicles with minimal help and practice in the Defender before the test.

Thanks for the video. You did not use the indicators to indicate which way you are driving. I believe this is mandatory so that the cars behind you know what you will be doing. Isn’t it mandatory? Or is it optional to use the blinkers or indicators?

I had ideas of how to manoeuvre but I need more lessons of how to do the reverse of a car properly aswell

[@janetatumanya2895]

You are a brilliant instructor, keep it up. I have learnt a lot. What is the right way to hold a steering wheel while driving?

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

Hi Janet, many thanks for your very nice comment. I guess there’s no ‘right way’. It’s more to do with having car control at all times. In terms of the test, the examiner marks on how well you are controlling the car during the drive and manoeuvre

[@biggiesmallz7987]

Let’s say your approaching a T junction and your turning right and there’s not car coming from the right but there’s a car coming from your left side, so you processed to go forward into the middle of the road and then wait till the car on your left pass before joining or do you stay exactly where you are until there’s no car coming from either ways

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

Stay where you are until the road is clear both ways

[@vinayhanspal6034]

While bay parking, can we park as we like as long as its safe and car well parked. I use 3 point turn method to park perfectly. Or do i have to reverse park in one move.

[@outspoken3297]

I couldn't get it when you reverse parked as you were in the middle of the road what if there is white line between the road can you still be in the middle of the road when reversing.

[@desimalanginscotland]

Hi can you please tell me during the driving test. For reverse bay parking can we park the car with 45° technique ? Because for 45° degree technique we need to move forward before reverse tue car in parking.

[@laurenMegan]

Aa the pull over to the right and reverse 2 car lengths isn't classed as parking does that mean once we pull over and stop we don't put our car into park and wait for duther instructions before reversing back or do we still do that while waiting for the examiner to tell us that?

Hi, thanks for your message. Blind spot checks need to be done prior to moving off from a parked position and also following an emergency stop. You may want to do a right blind spot check when joining dual carriageways and eventually motorways. Hope this helps!

Do we have to use indicators while parallel parking?

[@donnadark237]

Can you just confirm as I have been told that I have to leave a gap when Parallel parking so that no car can park inbetween me and the car I'm doing the parallel park with? As you have said you reverse back roughly 2 car lengths did I get that right?

[@drivinglessonswithdamo3085]

Hi, just to confirm, the examiner will give you the instruction that you can leave up to 2 car lengths between you and the target car you are reversing around. You don’t need to leave that much space but you want to leave enough room that when the manoeuvre is completed it’s easy for you to move off. Does that answer your question?

Should you have your indicater on the whole time whilst doing the manoeuvres?

Hi, generally if the manoeuvre means going backwards then your reverse light is sufficient. However, when you are driving forward into a bay it’s beneficial to indicate to confirm your intentions

You will be asked to park on the left on a few occasions but this isn’t classed as your manoeuvre. If you are asked to park on the right this is your only manoeuvre and won’t be asked to do a parallel or forward/reverse park. Does that answer your question?

Sorry, yes generally you get the option which side to reverse into. It does sometimes depend on how busy the car park is though so I would get confident doing both
