      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.

    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

    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!

    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

    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.

    • @rdu239
      @rdu239 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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

    How would I do this when driving a truck? When perpendicular to the parking spaces would I need to be somewhat further a way? Also someone commented that your shoulder should be a little behind the line before reversing because you could hit a parked car that is parked right before your spot. I just need to know if any reverence points change for a truck verses a compact car

  • @seabassmcgee3367

    Hi I liked your video. But I have a little doubt: If there is a parked car on the left side, is supposed to be a bit more reversed the car before entering the park box space. From the air view camera I can see the left rear tyre touching the intersection lines, is like the rear bumper bar will touch any parked car on the left side!
