How To Reverse Park (Parallel Parking). Easy Tips - Driving Test Essentials
How to do parallel parking or the reverse parking manoeuvre for the UK driving test www.driving-school-beckenham....
How to do reverse parking step-by-step guide. The object of this parking manoeuvre is to parallel park behind another vehicle within the space of 2 car lengths whilst looking out for other road users. You might have to reverse park on your UK practical driving test.
A lot of people fear parallel parking, but once you have some reliable reference points then it should be easier. These practical driving test tips will hopefully help. There are a lot of different reverse parking techniques. In this video we have a look at the 1-2-1 method of parking a car. But, no method is perfect and actually using your judgement is better than any method.
How to do parallel parking - The 1-2-1 method is:
One whole turn to the left to bring the back of the car in.
Two whole turns to the right to bring the front in.
One whole turn to the left to straighten the wheels.
If you feel that you're getting too close to the kerb, then steer more to right.
Too far from the kerb then steer more to the left.
Observe around continuously, stopping for any approaching road user.
If all else fails, then drive forward and perfect the parking.
We really hope this video helps. If it does, then please give us a 'thumbs up' like and subscribe for our latest videos.

+World Driving Hi, I recently moved to England from the U.S. While I am a great parallel parker back home, I am horrible at it here. First, I'm used to driving on the other side of the road. More importantly, however, the road I live on is very narrow and cars are parked on both sides, which makes it incredibly difficult for me to reverse park in a tight space. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions? I watch with envy when my neighbors do it in one scope, where it literally can take me up to 15-20 tries. So embarrassing. :)

Passed my test almost 2 years ago and have barely driven. It's the only manoeuvre I'm not confident with. Doesn't help that I'm driving a different car to the one that I learned and passed my test in!
🎬 3 different ways to tackle a junction on a hill kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmyAy8txkqiXhs4.html
Nice and clear. I wish I'd had this 40 years ago when I learnt to drive, but on the other hand parallel parking wasn't on the test in those days! Our compulsory elements were reverse around a corner, turn in the road using forward and reverse gears (ie 3 point turn--although you could have as many 'points' as needed), hill start (we had to do it on a railway bridge as we didn't have any hills) and emergency stop (which I didn't need to do as I had successfully demonstrated it by avoiding a suicidal cyclist early in the test). Parking was something you just figured out by yourself (or asked your dad who could always do it perfectly) after passing the test. I still find myself sometimes heading too sharply towards the kerb or stranded too far away but especially at night when I can't see the kerb in the mirror. It probably doesn't help that I am also squeezing into spaces little longer than my car! I don't think I've ever seen a gap two car lengths long that didn't have yellow lines in it!
Got my driving test on the 14 th dec 2017 and I am crapping it but these videos are great , I'm 45 so been putting it off for years but now I am determined to pass , thanks for the great videos !

I had my test today and this was the manoeuvre I was given to do, thanks to help from my driving instructor of course, but also the help of these videos, I managed to pass! I watched all your test tips videos several times before my test and I think they helped calm me for my test.
its difficult when your a new driver and trying to parallel park in a tight parking space and every one starts honking you. you feel really nervous then.

so for everyone watching this i took my driving test monday and passed! yay. i watched so many videos to get it right because sometimes i turn too much being too far from the curb or turn not enough and would hit the curb. but this video pretty much explains how it really is done. just making sure when your turning point is parallel parking is what to focus on and golden. ugh. having my license feels great. sort of. now its time for bills haha.
Thank you for these videos...they have definitely helped me pass my driving test (first time) yesterday, and they are simply excellent. Clear, calm and conscie, an excellent resource....thanks once again!
Literally just passed my driving test and this manoeuvre came up. This video definitely helped a lot!!!

My instructor told me to look for a reference point on the wheel arch but i seem to keep missing it so i'm going to try your way instead on my next lesson! can't wait to try it this is the only thing i'm worried about screwing up on my test!
So simple to understand when you teach. Thanks.

Get the side of your car much close to the car you are parking behind, and rather than reversing when the B pillar is in line with the car do it when the bumpers are in line that will bring you in much tighter than in this video. If needs be go lock to lock with the steering or go forwards if you run out of space. just be careful not to the steer the front back to the kerb too early or you can scrape the car in front.

I have always hated parallel parking but guess what my instructor didn’t give me on me. He made me watch this video. We practiced and practiced as it was my weakness even on my test day! I told him it wouldn’t come on my test but guess what?! That’s exactly what the examiner told me to do!! 😂. I did it without any minor fault at a go!!! I passed my test with 3 minors!!! Thank you so much for this video!
