Thanks for this I passed in March and always struggled with this as I was never taught specifically how to pull forward into a bay. I have been using the mirror as a reference point when going into a space already but it is great to know that is how it is meant to be done. Good to see this in the test too because almost everyone uses parking bays.

ritu pandey in most car parks it’s a good idea to signal going forward into a space as it’s almost impossible to know which other cars you may be affecting. When considering any signal in any situation, consider if it would be misleading, if it’s not at all then it’s probably a good idea. Hope this helps

This is an excellent video, have a question though that I think you should really addressed. For example, when turning into the bay the front of the car crosses over to the other bay and would hit a car if it was there. Is it then ok to just do the maneuver in 3 points?

@ThinkDriving

Avinash Singh Thanks, yes it is ok to do a shunt back and forward if needed. Although on the video it looks like it crosses the line it’s just the camera angles where the camera is not directly over the car. On none of the examples does it actually cross the line. Hope this helps, and good luck with your test :)

I passed my driving test more than a month ago but I find myself unlearning everything my instructor taught me. I especially have a hard time in car parks when parking between 2 cars. I usually have to always reverse back a little and go forward again. With all fairness though, most people don't park properly anyways they usually are on side of their bay cramping my space.

@ThinkDriving

some car parks can be narrow which makes it hard, but if try what the video says about getting as far to the other side as possible before turning it gives you more time and space to adjust as you are going in

This might sound really stupid but say I have done a full right lock then when the car is level with the a line or wall in front is it 1 left to straighten up?

Hi, to straighten up, you take off the amount you put on, so if you put full lock on that 1 and a half turn in most cars to take off again. If you are over the line what you said should work in most cases :) Go and practice, and even deliberately park on the line if its safe and practice fixing it. Once you have enough experience you will be able to do all of it without thinking about the amount of steering :)

There can be several reasons. Either you are steering to slow or the car is going to fast. If you are doing both these things right then you need to find a new reference point. The one her gave you may work for some of his students but you may be way taller or shorter then then so you may need to find one that works for you. Hope this helps :)

Is this not just lazy parking? Much easier and more accurate to reverse park once you learn the dimensions of your car.

@ThinkDriving

Carl Duffin This helps people that have zero experience to gain understanding of the dimension of their car. They can then go on and choose how they park. Also most people forward park as it’s easier to put your shopping in the boot if you have a trolly load if your forward in. But you are not wrong it can be safer to reverse into a space as it’s easier to see when leaving the space later
