Reverse Parking Technique - Difficult Spaces, Driveways and Garages

Many people are taught the third line method when learning how to reverse into a parking space in the UK. This method limits you to easy spaces in only the car you learnt in. It doesn't teach you how to park in more awkward spaces, driveways and garages. On the Driving Test in the UK you can use whatever method you like, as long as it's accurate, you have good control of the car and you make effective observations. Here is a parking technique that requires practise, but once you have the skill you will find parking anywhere easy.

This guy is overwhelmingly hard working on his videos not just to run his channel but truly dedicated to teaching even the tiniest part in brief. Very impressive. I live in canada where driving is on right side, but I watch his videos to learn so much. Sincere thanks

I dont know how this keeps happening, but you upload about exactly the type of problems I'm struggling to find solutions to. I recently passed my exam, all thanks to you! Just know that all of your viewers appreciate the effort you put into your videos

I passed my test in 1997, but struggled recently with a difficult reverse. These tips update my driving knowledge. 🚗 🇬🇧

Reverse bay parking was my absolute nemesis as a learner but now I just won’t drive into spaces, always reverse in everywhere as it’s so much easier! I did always wonder how you get in an end space though so thank you🙌🏻

[djsure]

Thank you so so much!!! You’re a life saver! Watched all of your videos which has been of much help. I passed today with 3 minors…thank you so much…God bless you sir..Guys the test is not as scary as some instructors make it look, no examiner is out to fail you, just drive, observe and plan and you’ll be fine and also watch and practice CONQUER DRIVING videos…the best out there!!!

I find this so helpful! I can confidently drive on routes, highways and busy roads, but small spaces and parking in reverse are something I always avoid (even asking someone to park for me), so I thank you very much and I'll put this in practice

[gintat]

Thank you so much for your videos!! I can't express how grateful I am to have access to your knowledge. It keeps me sane and helps me a great deal, I really appreciate it.

[clydeweithers]

Have found reversing SUV into spaces a challenge. This video has helped. Just need some practice now.

[TA-_-]

That’s the best detailed video I’ve seen. just looking for these types of videos you present your videos so well thank it’s very useful. 😊

[artemkatelnytskyi]

Reversing into the last space is exactly what I was thinking of recently!

[fliphanson]

Who knew Freddie Mercury was such a good driving instructor

I'm so bad at parking. This video help immensely. I will be watching all your parking videos. Thanks Richard!

[phantomwolf]

Thank you so much for the tips, have been an anxious driver/learner and got my license back in June, still very nervous but getting more comfortable and confidence as more time goes by, from Australia, thank you again x

[optim]

I ve passed my practical and sometimes I like watching this type of content to see what I can improve in my driving and what I can do better. It actually helps even after passing the test as you might not know some methods that would work better for u

[eeka_droid]

Professor, you're the only channel that makes me wish i could give more than one like per video, thanks!

[letswalk]

I passed my test today with only 3 minors without any practical lessons in UK as I was using my international licence and no instructors were ready to give me a couple of lessons. Your videos really helped me to know everything in detail. Thank you for all your videos and your way of explaining.
