How To Do Forward Bay Parking - Easy Tips - UK Driving Test Manoeuvres

It's safer to reverse into a bay and then drive forward out as you'll have better visibility. But sometimes you might find that driving forward into a bay and then reversing out is more convenient.

In this video, we look at how to do forward bay parking and reversing out, which you might be asked to do on your driving test.

We have a look at how to drive forward into a bay on the left, right, between vehicles and how to correct the bay parking if it goes wrong.

All reference points shown might look different to you as it depends on what car you're driving, seat position and height, but they will be similar.

Good luck with your driving test if you have it coming up soon and thank you very much for watching our video. We REALLY hope it helps with your driving.

Hi from America, and i just wanted to say that i've gotten so used to seeing you drive on the right side of the car, that when my driver instructor came one day, i tried to get in on the passenger side. Most awkward 5 seconds of my life.

[liamjenkins]

Today I passed my test first time with 0 driving faults with 40 hours of lessons. I was surprised at how relaxing the atmosphere was during the test, the examiner was really down to earth and really helped to calm my nerves. Thank you for all your amazing videos which have helped my learning!

[Scoobay]

I had my test last week. Literally the first think I did moving off was lift my foot up off the clutch too quickly and I shot forward, almost hitting another parked car. Thought I had failed already but I tried not to let it affect me and if I wasn’t going to pass I’d at least use the opportunity as practise for the next time. I actually passed with 5 minors!

[THESMAG]

Thanks to your videos, i passed my driving test today!

[PoeticJackson]

Hi Chris, I just wanted to let you know I passed my practical driving test first time today with only 4 minors thanks to your videos! I watched every single one and I watched the mock tests which were helpful! I was confident today on my test because of your calming voice and attention to detail in your videos. I will continue to watch, as they say "The REAL learning starts after you pass the test" Thank you Chris!

I passed my test last month and your videos helped me massively

[kboyle]

I passed my test few days ago, first time with 3 minors, I did a parallel park on my test, didn't have any trouble doing bay park on any of my lessons, only did it about 4 times but was perfect everytime so i thought it was easy enough, first time on own forgot my reference points, glad i seen this video as it's helped refresh my mind, parked perfect next time

[sarahharding]

I passed my test this morning and really have to thank you for all the videos you have done. They have really helped me! 🚗

[AUTubeN]

i'm feeling a lot more confident about my lesson this week even though iv had a few lessons and done bay parking before, sometimes successful and others not. its been a tricky one for me trying to remember the reference points and techniques when theres people around and your instructor is expecting you to nail it this time

[reensays_]

I'm learning in the same car as this one and I struggle a bit with this so to see how it's done in a video has made things easier for me. I've definitely improved when practicing this manoeuvre with my instructor when out on lessons. I can't thank you enough :)

[rhyslister]

Passed my test about 3/4 years ago, and your videos were a huge help! Glad to see you’re still making videos!

[Itsjustglo]

wow, this video is amazing I watched it 10x to understand how to do bay parking because I was struggling with this skill. I am going to surprise my driving instructor today because I now I understand it well!!! Thanks for this video

[imelda]

Without a doubt it was with the help of these videos that i passed my test. What a great tutor.

[healthywealthypositivity]

Excellent. Am still working on my bay parking

[mahamudulhassan]

I have passed my practical test today.
Your Vedio’s are very helpful. I learned a lot from watching your Vedio’s. I really appreciate how easy you made it and wish you good luck for your great work. 🙂
I will always comeback and hit up your new vedio. Keep it up. 🤙

A massive respect and thanks. 🙏

[heenasmiles]

I was waiting for this. Haha this has made me so happy. Since your videos are probably the easiest to understand.

[amaruf]

Hi Chris!! I passed test last year but I still watch your videos to brush up my driving skills.

[roxanaosorio]

Thank you very clear explanation. The voice most of the time without the distracted music in the background is great!!!

[Larry-is-cool]
