Also, make sure you coordinate reversing speed and steering if you want this method to work. We have videos on reversing larger vehicles, so be sure to check them out.

I like this method and helped me parking 14 years a go when i PASSED MY DRIVING however this method is only useful if you are closer to the parking but when your car is in the middle between left and right parking I would suggest using the side mirror line up with the parking bay

Often wondered why mirrors aren't made deeper by manufacturers so it's possible to see the lines or kerb without needing to adjust them to do so.

I’ve been practicing this method in the Philippines however here the lines are not clear or most of the time there is no lines and the parking space are not as wide like overseas.

[domantasmackevicius]

But how do i know from my perspective if i lined up the mirror with the line correctly? What are the reference points i should look for?

Hi Steve, i find it easier to reverse park doing the 45degree angle (which was taught by my husband) either with our Outlander or Suzuki swift. But my instructor said Assessors won't allow it.

Say us to do the reverse parking right hand side???? Bcoz doing reverse parking left side is easy but right one is bit difficult for me.. right hand forward parking is easy...

No Dry Steering Method, the only acceptable way to reverse parallel park in driving test in Western Australia. The following test centres in the Perth metro always ask for parallel parking in Practical Driving Assessment: West Perth, Cannington, Rockingham and Buttler test centres. Mirrabooka, Midland, Mandurah and Kelmscott less often.

[gabrielgeorge]

In WA, do you have to use the 3 Line Method in the driving test? Or can you use the 45 degree method?

[d_girl]

May I know how much you charge for lesson? I mainly need reverse parking lesson. Thank you Sir.

You would have failed having entered the neighbouring parking space. Gad there been a vehicle occupying the space you may well have collided with it.
