Can I just say thank you. I wish I saw this before I parked in the multi story. I didn't do terribly my first park was bad but my colleagues said they had seen worse and I was in the bay just parked diagonal . My colleague said she would help me if I could not get out but did fine. Very reluctant to drive theses days though.

They can be a bit scary. Thank you for your comment

Tanks for teaching us useful information, most driving instructors leave students high and dry without giving them advice on everyday situations. I passed my test a month ago and would never have known how to park in these correctly, thanks very much

Hey thank you ever so much for your advice on second test nerves , really helped as I managed to pass my test yesterday with 2 minors so thank you ever so much 😊

A lot of modern multi-storeys run on a timed ticket on entry. Paying for parking often at "Pay Stations" in the shopping mall or at the different parking levels in the car park. Often the first 30 mins is free parking mainly in case there are no spaces. Ground floor is always popular as you can go down the High Street without using lifts or stairs. In large mall multi-storeys it might say Shops Level 5 in which case that level will be popular. It will have disabled and family spaces there and if they operate a "Shopmobility" electric scooter hire place the HQ will be near the shops entrance at that level. Checking on line for Shopmobility for where you are travelling to is prudent. Excellent video.

Sounds like a future video

Really good video. You can be quite nervous when entering a car park. Useful video

When looking for spaces you typically follow a route which keeps leading you to the next highest level. There are usually spaces if you turn off and go up a side "street" as fewer people go down there.

If you drive to the top deck on a multi-storey car park your forward/reverse bay park is not that different from more usual car parks. The main difference is parking on an intermediate storey. You seem to feel it is a bit odd bay parking "indoors". To some extent driving around inside a building seems strange and closed in. In reality they are never spacious.

Goodness yes! First channel i came across for "post passing practice" I'm going to dig deep in your channel. Thanks for the helpful advise! :-)

Thank you so much! I passed test several years ago but never had to use a multi story car park until recently. I freaked out, I couldn't reach the barrier so had to get out of the car for the ticket. Then every space was full so I had to drive right up to the top. Also it was so dark inside I could barely see (daytime). My instructor never covered multi stories

I really wish I saw this video before I went into my first multi storage car park. I had my first accident yesterday because I went up the ramp in 2nd gear, then quickly changed to 1st because the engine was struggling and then I rolled back into another car behind me. Luckily nobody was harmed but there was a massive crack on the back of my car which will cost me a fortune to repair. I have also lost all of my confidence in driving and I really don't like it anymore.

I passed in October. My work car park is multistorey. I drove up the ramp and had to put my hand break on. Its scarey.

10:47 Milton Keynes Centre:mk (advanced) Salford New Bailey (split-rods) Salford Stanley Street (split-rods) Bolton Deane Road (split-rods & single rod) Bolton Topp Way (split-rods) Manchester Central (single rod) Leeds Victoria Gate (split-rods) Bolton Octagon Theatre (split-rods) Warrington Time Square (split-rods) Leeds The Markets (split-rods) Nottingham Mount Street (single rods)

5 months later and a scratch in my car and I still brick it but much better. The multi story is the only place we can park at the moment as the wider ones are having some work done during lock down😲. During the week day I can use a nice flat level. And see my car from the fourth floor.

I am newly passed my driving test but very scared of using multi-storey car parks due to several reasons. I don’t know how to use those ticket machines in entry and exits. Can you please do a video on how to use different entries, exits and paying machines. Basically I am avoiding driving in city centres. 😢

You put the ticket in the payment machine and pay. Then go to your car and present the ticket on the way out. Other car parks have different ways. Hope that helps

Hi, the second car park was a modern build. I parked up the car at 13.20 and paid for the ticket just before I left car park. The camera recognition system on this car park raised the exit barriers as I approach the exit. Hope that helps

@@JamesTravis So....you take a ticket from a machine at the entrance barrier....then you park the car and walk off, keeping the ticket in your pocket....then you return to the car park and put your ticket in a machine of some kind? And it tells you how much to pay? And then you pay and get given your ticket back? And then you drive home? (I've never used a multi-storey car park, so I don't have the first clue about all this, see. )
