Must watch the video after 6 mins. It's a wonderful parking tip n can avoid any failure in forward parking even with less driving practice. Excellent information for the new drivers!

Honestly, I am really grateful for your guidance in this. I was really struggling with the manoeuvres in forward bay parking because my driving instructor would constantly yell at me for getting it wrong. I was losing my motivation for driving as he kept saying I should drive like a man and not a woman, constantly comparing me to his other students and telling me the opposite of the road rules e.g. speed in moderation but will tell you you're going slow when he tells you it's fast when it's the speed limit. I'm hoping I pass tomorrow thanks to your videos. I learnt more driving from this channel than my countless hours of driving lessons. Thank you for helping me and so many others. I appreciate it very much.

As a mechanic of many years, the extra strain on the components is completely negligible and not even worth mentioning, definitely not to the degree that people say it does. I've never had a car fail an mot based on dry steering component wear. It's just not a thing.

Very useful video with great real-life practice and supporting virtual visuals! Thanks. I would like to ask how to benefit from additional mirrors while front parking. Is there any special mirror that can make front parking easier? I am very good at reverse parking however my front parking always needs minor adjustment so I want to make at one-go with the help of mirrors, sensors or any useful tools.
@ConquerDriving
4 жыл бұрын
I'm afraid the mirrors aren't much help when you're going in forwards as you can't see the lines until you're in. Sometimes you can't see the lines at all.

Will Try this tomorrow but the spoke thing looks hard
The difficulty of exiting a forward park is what determines me to 99% of the time park in the reverse way. Because it might be easy to forward park but is difficult and dangerous to exit. So I prefer to reverse park and then when I have to leave is very easy for me to do so. And also personally I consider reverse park a lot easier than forward park
@ConquerDriving
2 жыл бұрын
I also find reverse park much easier.
I don't understand why parking forward into a bay is even considered, reverse in drive out, should be the norm, it is easier, and safer, to drive out than it is to reverse out. People who say they can't reverse in will surely have difficulty reversing out as you have to watch not only for other cars on the car park but also all four corners of your car too.
@ConquerDriving
4 жыл бұрын
They included forwards into a bay on the test as it allowed them to drop the two old manuoevres: 3 point turn and reverse round the corner. The reason for this decision was to allow more test routes to include country roads as this has the highest number of casualties yet manoeuvres rarely result in casualties. Also, there are times when driving forwards into a bay is more appropriate, I do this at supermarkets as it's easier to put things in the boot. However if I don't need to access the boot I will reverse in.
@ivanhowlett4907

@@ConquerDriving thank you for your response to my comment. I realise the two manoeuvres you refer to have been dropped from the test, I have always considered them potentially risky manoeuvres to carry out, parallel and bay parking much more sensible to include. However, I stick by my original comment reverse in drive out, you only have to see the number of people that drive into their driveway then have to reverse out, sometimes on to a busy main road. I have never in 60 years of driving had a problem loading my boot, a tad inconvenient at times, but never a problem.
Great video, but the thumbnail is a bit misleading in regards to the turn distance. You said we need to be as far away as possible and it looks like the car is close to the bay it’s going in to. Anyway, thanks for your help :)

Hi, thank you again for this great video. I was just wondering that if you did get into the bay wonkey and wanted to correct your position, are you allowed to reverse back out and come back in? Also, does this same rule apply for all manoeuvres ( ie correcting mistakes)?
@ConquerDriving
2 жыл бұрын
You don't have to do it in one movement. I don't even see it as a correction, it's just part of manoeuvring.
My instructor said that you can’t correct a forward bay park(like you can’t reverse or anything), but from your video we can reverse if we mess up by turning too late?
Could you do a video on how to forward parking where there's no parking lines especially between two cars?

Would be the same, just use them cars instead of the lines. It's easier because you can see the cars far more easily than the lines.
