Watched this video this morning and sure enough it was the first thing we did on my test. Happy to say i passed!! Thank you so much for all your videos, they were a great help and eased my nerves. Good luck to all taking tests!
Ok, so the is your shoulder inline advice I think is slightly off, because it depends where your sitting. Should probably be, is the line just behind half way in the window. However the line counting did help me understand why my instructor got me to reverse/turn at that point.
This is the simplest video I’ve ever watched… just watching it alone gave me confidence to understand how I need to reverse May God continue to bless you😭
You helped me pass my test! I’d never done this manoeuvre before in my driving lessons and had to give them up early July as was waiting so long for my test to come round. My partner and I practised the reverse bay park on Tuesday eve but we struggled to get it in the bay in one go as had no reference point. I watched your video that evening but didn’t get a chance to practice before my test which was yesterday afternoon. Low and behold I was asked to do this manoeuvre in my test and had to do it for the the first time from what I’d seen in your video and it worked! I parked into the bay almost perfectly without having to straighten up. I couldn’t believe it! Had it not been for your video I would almost certainly have flunked it. So thank you, thank you, thank you!! Anyone watching this who has a test coming up, trust me, it really does work!
Oh my God!!! I watched this video yesterday and tried it today. It works!!! My driving instructor was surprised when I nailed my parking.. thank you so much
My driving test took 33’ minutes, everything was perfect. At the end the examiner told to make a reverse parking in a bay at the DVSA station, and I failed on reverse parking. This one was really helpful. Thanks
Thank you so much for the clear formula and the visuals! I watched the video, sat to my car, went to the nearest parking, counted 3 lanes, and parked 7 times in different directions and locations without hesitation :) Thank you!
Passed my driving test 4 months ago and havent driven since then and got my car helped just refresh my mind a lil bit can do all other manuvours pefectly 1st time pass 1 fault
idk if the bays are smaller in UK, but i tried this on a somewhat big parking lot and i needed only about 2 bay lines from my destiny spot, but this stuff really do work.. it helps a lot to visualize where you are compared to your chosen spot.. did it on both sides.. and it worked wonderfully
I passed my test last October. My instructor never taught reverse bay parking as my test center would not test it. I paid a lesson in my car to learn. For ages I was scared of getting in my car. Now I am used to very local drives I have a go at the 45 method.
Thank you! This has been the clearest instructional video for figuring out lining up for bay parking. My instructor kept getting me to use reference points on the car which is unhelpful for me as I drive a lot of different hire cars for work. Going to try this tomorrow!
i was struggling with this today in my lesson like i wasn't doing my observations properly because i was too focused on the mechanics/ reversing and steering and this helped a lot. thank you
I just passed my road test in St. John's, Newfoundland😄😄🤩🤩And this video was very helpful! I am grateful to you! I almost failed because I was unfamiliar with reverse bay parking until your video helped me with tips and reminders. Seriously, thank you for helping this college guy pass and finally get his full license!
God bless you, you should be nominated for the driving instructor of all times😄 when my instructor explained reverse parking I was left with the headache and the feeling that I never going to get it😄 Thank you so much 🙏👏
You're a great teacher, I couldn't hold my finger back,I hit the subscribe button with no hesitation. New subie here. My test is due and mastering a lot from your videos.
This is good. Only issue is when someone is literally right behind you the 3 line rule could be an issue. I have a Toyota Yaris which has a poor turning circle when going Forward into a bay so I reverse when possible.
It really help me especially I find it difficult to reverse parking in a bay than next to car so really help me to put the last line with my shoulder, which really makes y day training very easy , Thanks 🙏
I’ve been told that when doing this, I need to match the 3rd line up with the gear stick, and it works, so I’m presuming that there is more then one point to use.
If you look at your side mirrors you will see the bay lines, once it’s parallel to the car, stop and straighten the wheel. Dry steering won’t fail you 😁
Thank you very much for this great video. Will try this technique during my next lesson. But i was wondering whether the reference point will change if you adjust the seat??🤔
the problem with this method is that, if you turn the wheel quicker or slower this will also effect where you end up. as well as if you revers a bit faster or slower.
Yah, only applicable if you are in a pinch at the parking with too many vehicles around, however when ever possible that is not the scenario try to position you vehicle a bit slant opposite from when you will reverse park, your margin of error in bigger due to you are not reversing at a 90 degree angle
I’ll give this a try and see if it works. I’m sceptical when it comes to references. A lot of references I’ve used whilst having driving lessons in my driving instructors car. Well they don’t seem to work in my partners Corsa at all. But I shall give this a go.
Shoulder in line with the third line away from the bay so that you’re looking straight down the line Six point check. Remember down blind spot check. Steer left - no dry steering. Full lock to the left One horizon is parallel to the bonnet straighten the car
how much are you suppose to turn when doing it? a full lock but slowly? or one spin? etc. Want to try this as it looks easy but unsure on how much to do! or do you just have to wing it and judge that during it?
I’m questioning the information my driving instructor. He’s told me multiple times to right lock my steering shell before turning. But isn’t this dry steering as you just said ?
Dry steering will wear down one spot on your tires quicker. By turn while moving you'll spread it over a larger area. Having said that I'd still recommend dry steering since the damage is so minute you won't even notice the difference as long as you don't turn the wheel back and forth a million times in one sitting. I've been driving for 12 years and the last 5 were in a semi truck (lorry) and I still dry steer then correct as I move
I am going to pass my driving test
Me too!
me too!
me too
Me too
Me too, tomorrow ❤️
One of the most chill driving teacher I’ve seen lmao
🙌
Watched this video this morning and sure enough it was the first thing we did on my test. Happy to say i passed!! Thank you so much for all your videos, they were a great help and eased my nerves. Good luck to all taking tests!
Congratulations
Finally, the best reverse parking explanation I've had. I'll give this ago in my next lesson
Glad it helped! Let us know how it goes :)
Ok, so the is your shoulder inline advice I think is slightly off, because it depends where your sitting. Should probably be, is the line just behind half way in the window.
However the line counting did help me understand why my instructor got me to reverse/turn at that point.
Good point
Me toooo omg. And my test is in 4 days
Definitely

I have my test tomorrow and this manouvre was the one one I am panicking the most about. This helped me feel a lot better! Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Update: passed first time 💕💕💕
@@anummorata any tips please? X
Well done!
Which manoeuvre did you get as I’m struggling with reverse bay
Congratulations 👏
Thanks for using the colour pattern to anticipate the parking spot and distance.... it really helps
I couldn't agree more!
Thank you so much for the clear formula and the visuals! I watched the video, sat to my car, went to the nearest parking, counted 3 lanes, and parked 7 times in different directions and locations without hesitation :) Thank you!
I got my driving licence two years ago and this video is still helpful for me
Do you receive your driving licence within 3 weeks of passing your test? Because I haven’t received mine
I passed my test, I’m so grateful to God, thanks for sharing 🙏🏾💜
This is the easiest way to do it omg, how you break it down with the visuals is crazy !
I passed my test today your videos have been so instrumental! Thanks so much! God bless you and your business 🙏
I'm a driving instructor myself from the Netherlands for 9 years, you are great the best instruction video from the uk
Best instructor for me I have learnt something today thumbs up to you man .God bless you
Passed my driving test 4 months ago and havent driven since then and got my car helped just refresh my mind a lil bit can do all other manuvours pefectly 1st time pass 1 fault
honestly this is one of the best videos iv seen explaining! thank you so much! iv struggled with this so much!
Been struggling a lot on how to bay park and reverse bay , your videos really helped ! Really recommend it. Watch it a few times.
I’ve started my lessons and these videos are so helpful for when I do them in my lessons thankyou
We are happy to hear that they help!
idk if the bays are smaller in UK, but i tried this on a somewhat big parking lot and i needed only about 2 bay lines from my destiny spot, but this stuff really do work.. it helps a lot to visualize where you are compared to your chosen spot.. did it on both sides.. and it worked wonderfully
You explained this so perfectly. Can’t wait to practice this technique
The best driving channel I have ever seen in my life
Thank you so much for this, reverse bay parking is something thing I struggle with at the moment
What do you guys prefer? Reverse bay parking or Forwards bay parking? 🙌
I passed my test last October. My instructor never taught reverse bay parking as my test center would not test it. I paid a lesson in my car to learn. For ages I was scared of getting in my car. Now I am used to very local drives I have a go at the 45 method.
Reverse is more advantageous because it is easy to maneuver in case of an emergency
Reverse parking FTW. It's a lot easier to back in than it is to back out
wish 'id seen this before I done my lessons!!!! 25hrs and passed, just about haha, good luck to everyone who is learning!!!
Thank you! This has been the clearest instructional video for figuring out lining up for bay parking. My instructor kept getting me to use reference points on the car which is unhelpful for me as I drive a lot of different hire cars for work. Going to try this tomorrow!
This is definitely the hardest one the animation made it very clear of what to do! Awesome formula thanks!
Thank you!
I am going to pass my driving test on Tuesday!! I believe it I claim it
i was struggling with this today in my lesson like i wasn't doing my observations properly because i was too focused on the mechanics/ reversing and steering and this helped a lot. thank you
dont worry about it i passed my test before and was driving for years then got banned and now im taking my test again and i am the same lmao
That happens to me too 😭 I'm going to learn maneovers tomorrow but there's so much other controls to focus on I forget observation
So clear and easy to follow, the animation helped. Thanks again
I just passed my road test in St. John's, Newfoundland😄😄🤩🤩And this video was very helpful! I am grateful to you! I almost failed because I was unfamiliar with reverse bay parking until your video helped me with tips and reminders. Seriously, thank you for helping this college guy pass and finally get his full license!
This is manoeuvre I used to dread bot practice is key! Not only that but make it simple. It’s not as scary if you break it into steps.
This is such a good tutorial, honestly.
God bless you, you should be nominated for the driving instructor of all times😄 when my instructor explained reverse parking I was left with the headache and the feeling that I never going to get it😄 Thank you so much 🙏👏
Am really finding your videos useful will try practice this on my next lesson
You're a great teacher, I couldn't hold my finger back,I hit the subscribe button with no hesitation. New subie here. My test is due and mastering a lot from your videos.
Thank you Francis. Watched your videos severally and I passed my test at Liverpool this morning.
God bless you ❤️
Thank you!!! This might sound silly but i have struggled with counting these damn lines!
This is good. Only issue is when someone is literally right behind you the 3 line rule could be an issue. I have a Toyota Yaris which has a poor turning circle when going Forward into a bay so I reverse when possible.
It really help me especially I find it difficult to reverse parking in a bay than next to car so really help me to put the last line with my shoulder, which really makes y day training very easy , Thanks 🙏
I love all of francis videos, he explains so well and his videos are so helpful for learners like myself
The cartoons and highlighted edits really help. Thanks! Best video
Hope u passed ?😊🤞
Thanks for all your detailed explanations in all your videos I passed today
I’ve been told that when doing this, I need to match the 3rd line up with the gear stick, and it works, so I’m presuming that there is more then one point to use.
Thank you! Nice explanation!
Thank you so much for your videos, especially the parking ones, I passed first time🎉🎉🎉
I’m going to pass my mock test! Amen 🙏
Thanku we will not spending to much money because of your videos best instructor
This is such a simple demonstration of reverse bay parking. Thank you Francis, I will definitely practice using this technique.
couple lessons from a mock test I’m excited
Thank you so much for these videos! I kept on messing up the manoeuvres but your explanations were so simple.
thank you very much ,grate tips
Amazing video thank you. Line is same level with your shoulder.mmmm. i keep practicing my test is next months,xxx
I have learnt reverse parallel and bay parking from your videos and I also found your method is the best, well done keep it up🍰
When do you know when to straighten the wheel because i really dont get the horizontal technique
If you look at your side mirrors you will see the bay lines, once it’s parallel to the car, stop and straighten the wheel. Dry steering won’t fail you 😁
Thats true. The bay lines that’s parallel to your car are your marker. Please don’t rush or get panic. Take your time n you’ll get it.
Thank you!!! This video is SO HELPFUL!!!
Very good overall and very safe
Thank you for this video has been helpful am I been struggling with this
Thank you very much for this great video. Will try this technique during my next lesson. But i was wondering whether the reference point will change if you adjust the seat??🤔
the problem with this method is that, if you turn the wheel quicker or slower this will also effect where you end up. as well as if you revers a bit faster or slower.

also it can take a bit long to keep lining yourself up when there are cars behind you
Its risky to start steering while reversing. You might go off the line
Its really helped me. Thanks for that video😚
I wish I had seen this method before my exam tomorrow it's very easy thank you
nice work mate, thank u
It worked actuality on my first attempt 🎉❤
This worked perfectly today thanks
Thank you for the helpful tutorial.Very well explained and demonstrated.
thank u sooo much this is helping me get confident
Thanks I'll do this saw another video doing this too
Marcus is good and smart learner keep going 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🙌🙌🙌
Will let you know how I get on Francis with my test.I struggled with reverse parking but now I see it
This is so helpful. Thank you for making this video
Your just the best Francis 👌
Thanks for this. Just had a minor for reverse parking.... I was taught how to do it but never told a reference point. So I'm hoping this helps xxx
Im going to take my exam tomorrow praying I can pass it thank you now I have an idea
This makes me feel hopeful I can do this & maybe pass in 3 tries or less 😊
This was sooo helpful I was straggling with this parking I think now I get it what on about thanks 🙏🏻
I am going to pass my test next week speaking it into existence
I tried today, It was wonderful
this was logically explained!
I really like your video's Very helpful and understanding
Glad to hear that!
My god I really want to thank you how you make it easy to me love u
You are so clear 👏
I’ll give this a try and see if it works. I’m sceptical when it comes to references. A lot of references I’ve used whilst having driving lessons in my driving instructors car. Well they don’t seem to work in my partners Corsa at all. But I shall give this a go.
Thank you
Having my lesson on manoeuvres tomorrow
very nice video. appreciate the way of teaching.
Shoulder in line with the third line away from the bay so that you’re looking straight down the line
Six point check. Remember down blind spot check.
Steer left - no dry steering. Full lock to the left
One horizon is parallel to the bonnet straighten the car
I saw other videos saying if you are reverse on the left you have to be on the right . But yours is different. Can you explain why
I have my lesson Monday again am going to try this hope it works
Thanks very much sir, you made it so easy for me. May I ask you a question? Does the shoulder reference point work for any car? Thanks in advance
Brilliant lesson.
Brilliant video, very well explained!
Thanks for your hard work on making this video! It's really helpful and very clear too.
how much are you suppose to turn when doing it? a full lock but slowly? or one spin? etc. Want to try this as it looks easy but unsure on how much to do! or do you just have to wing it and judge that during it?
I am going to pass my test!
Great video mate. Thanks for the help. Top man...
I’m questioning the information my driving instructor. He’s told me multiple times to right lock my steering shell before turning. But isn’t this dry steering as you just said ?
Nothing wrong with dry steering. It’s often easier
Dry steering is completely fine 👌🏼
Dry steering will wear down one spot on your tires quicker. By turn while moving you'll spread it over a larger area. Having said that I'd still recommend dry steering since the damage is so minute you won't even notice the difference as long as you don't turn the wheel back and forth a million times in one sitting. I've been driving for 12 years and the last 5 were in a semi truck (lorry) and I still dry steer then correct as I move
Such a good video on this manovere 👍
Thank you!
