45° Reverse Bay Parking | 2024 UK Driving Test Manoeuvres

The UK Driving Test includes the option of the reverse bay parking manoeuvre, but it’s also a really useful skill for use in real life. Most new drivers are taught to do the 90° method for their test, but there is another way - the 45° method. In this video, we’ll show how to do the 45° reverse bay park safely - with an overview of the manoeuvre from outside the car, and then a more detailed view from inside the car. We also have a few tips for when you need to park between two other vehicles, or what to do if it goes wrong. If you have any questions about the video then please leave a comment and we will do our best to reply.

I've just passed my driving test first time with only 3 minors....aged 73 ! Your video's have been brilliant...I've watched them every evening and would recommend them to learners of any age group. Thank's for your help !

[DianeNaman-fcux]

Just to add...thanks to you I can parallel park and reverse bay park with no worries....doing them in lessons you can easily forget but your video's reinforce what you've learnt. Thanks.

I just learned about the 90 degree method and found it wasn't the easiest to do. Found it easier to go in between 2 cars as I could use them as a reference point and helps guide me in. The 45 degree looks a lot easier and will ask my instructor to teach me this one too! You're videos help me a lot on these Maneuvers.

You should give reference points especially when to know our car reach 45 degree angle. It can be helpful guide for learners before they can find their own ways which are more convenient and suitable for their cars. A video by Ashley Neal on the same topic provide very good reference points.

Big Thanks for sharing sir
Your amazing videos really helpful for new learner .

My driving instructor only taught me the 90 degree method and I have been really struggling because when going so far away from my target bay, I would lose sight of it and forget which one I chose so would mess up. This way seems so much simplier and with more real world applications because I feel like if you are driving three bays ahead of the bay you intend to park in, it gives another driver chance to drive in and take that spot. At least with this method you are across from the bay you are taking and it never leaves your eyeline for my poor little brain (in my defense, in an empty car park it is easy to forget which bay you have selected since they all look exactly the same!)

I learnt this today it's brilliant thankyou for this video 👍

[amaruf]

Reference point not clear. Please show clearly where to stop on the next to the target bay and steer. Frame changes quickly and I cannot get it. Thanks

[krishnakharoja]

Hi,
I have been watching most of the videos, and I have learnt so many driving techniques from your channel. My driving test will be on Thursday 19th of November and hoping to pass on first time. Thanks

[johnriley]

I just wanted to say, thanks to your brilliant videos I passed my driving test! Thank you so much!

[cutiedizzle]

Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling since getting my car.

[paibababava]

Thank you for your video! It helps me a lot.It is much more practical than the acrobatics driving skills I learned in China driving school.

[Zen_Zen_Zense]

Thank you so much, i attempted my first reverse bay park last week and the technique my driving instructor told me confused me a tad bit, imma try the 90° and 45° reverse park today and see how it goes.

I passed my test a year ago but only got a car a few days ago and I'm absoloutly terrified of parking! I can drive fine it's just parking that worries me. Especially bay parking and that's what is located at my house I always need my partner to help me. Hopefully soon enough I have enough confidence to do it on my own :(
