    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    @keith6400 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      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

And it tells you how much to pay? And then you pay and get given your ticket back? And then you drive home?

I have to do this next Saturday, a week before Christmas and I am dreading the first time. Going the right way, the narrow turns and paying for the ticket, do you need the right change? These are all concerns of mine but you have helped me loads. It seems the moral of the story is go S L O W L Y. Thanks
