Bay Park Reverse. Busy Car Park: 45 Degree Method

Reversing into a parking bay in a busy car park can be tricky. You feel that you haven't got the space or the car behind is trying to take your spot.

Thank you so much!!!

I’ve recently passed and I’m realising some of the driving techniques I learned for the test are not “practical” for the real world.

hi james just got home from passing my driving test with just 2 faults. a big thank you for all your vids they helped me a great deal. at 64 i am no youngster but it is a great feeling to be independent so once again cheers mate and keep making the vids for everyone who needs them

I'm getting used to my car dimensions, and have thrown out the technique my instructor taught me before passing my test. At the moment I prefer to nose in and reverse out on parking bays with the lines equal and straight on both sides. Thanks again Travis, we are still learning.

Haven't tried a reverse park since passing my test, but I think I'll practice at this.

Can you do a tight parallel park in between two cars, thanks

[markday]

[skplaysgaming]

That’s what I’ve been worried about because I know the driver behind me will be confused and could cause a accident and I want to park perfectly too

[aurelijus]

[larrycarter]

[reneea]

So soon u get closer to the bay u want u swing it right? U don't use any reference u just soon u by your bay start to turn?

[devonmoon]

Thank you 🚘👍💖 can I do this method 45' reverse bay park on the test ? It's a bit easier than the other method ? 🚘🚘😘

[nandarani]

For the test, does it have to be 3 lines turn full left or right for reverse park? Is this 45 degree parking?

[tomlodge]

Do you go full lock backing in or just gradually move the steering accordingly?
