How to Use the 3 Line Method CORRECTLY when Reverse Parking on the Left

How to use a 3-line method correctly when reverse parking using a small hatchback? The example shown in this video will fix your misconception about reverse bay parking and you can master it within minutes if you follow these steps. Also, make sure you coordinate reversing speed and steering if you want this method to work. We have videos on reversing larger vehicles, so be sure to check them out. This 3-line method will work with a small hatchback size every time.

    I like this method and helped me parking 14 years a go when i PASSED MY DRIVING however this method is only useful if you are closer to the parking but when your car is in the middle between left and right parking I would suggest using the side mirror line up with the parking bay

    Often wondered why mirrors aren't made deeper by manufacturers so it's possible to see the lines or kerb without needing to adjust them to do so.

    No Dry Steering Method, the only acceptable way to reverse parallel park in driving test in Western Australia. The following test centres in the Perth metro always ask for parallel parking in Practical Driving Assessment: West Perth, Cannington, Rockingham and Buttler test centres. Mirrabooka, Midland, Mandurah and Kelmscott less often. Check out the Parking Playlist here > kzread.info/head/PLCGQHsRSzJ3KxI3abn4jZArNIVP3QfBSK

    45 degree is easier and better and more realistic (w this method its likely for another car to fill up ur spot). In the real world u usually want to do that if u have the space. But with ur test u gotta do it with the 3 line method, just get it for ur test, u dont have to rely on it after

But once u get the positioning w the 3 lines method that’ll be easy as well, it took me a few hours but it’s pretty simple once it clicks. The exact positioning varies on ur cars size and where u place ur seat but after u get ur lining down it’ll be spot on most of the time

    You have to synchronize steering with movement which requieres repetion to master it. Low speed and high turning ratio works best.

    Жыл бұрын

    Good question! Te referrence point will depend on the size of your vehicle. I always advise people to step out of the car, check the mirror/line alignment and then look from the inside to work out their referrence point. With repetition it will become easy to judge when you line up correctly. I hope this answer helps. Cheers
