Was really struggling with this manoeuvre but then I watch this video and saw exactly what I needed to do . So I bought a McLaren Senna with see-through doors and now it's very easy thank you for the tip 🙏🙌🙌
😂
Haha 😂👍🏻
😂😂
Bro bought a McLaren to help in driving test😂😂
😂
You deserve more recognition. One of the best driving explanations available on the the internet.
Thank you.
@@ConquerDriving do you give lessons in cardiff
Unfortunately I only do Colchester.
Agreed. I'm so glad I came across this channel. Feeling so much more confident. Shame I don't live in Colchester.
@@ConquerDriving can you do lessons in brentwood
Always struggled with reverse bay park and last night spent 40 minutes which just ended in stress and tears. Watched your video a few times last night and today and went out earlier and did it 4 times successfully in a row left and right and in a hill. Thank you!!!
I'm very pleased to hear that 😊
It took months of practice with my dad with his head in his hands for me to learn reverse bay parking. Props for learning so fast
What to do if there’s not enough space in the parking lot when turning to the left or right initially?
@@michaelsmith7397 shuffle
hi there, passed the test 3 weeks ago and still cant really bay park ...so im gonna wach this video a few times and go out and practice this
I passed my test today, first time!. 32 years old and a long time coming. 0 faults. You have a lot to do with that, thank you.
That's really great to hear, thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!
I watch these videos before every lesson. I've waited until my 40s, and the "old dogs, new tricks" seems to apply 😂😂
Finally, I found a place where I can learn properly and get away from a yelling hubby sitting next.
I'm happy to hear I am helping you 😊
Same here, yelling husband😂😂 he’s a super chill person unless he’s sitting next to me when I am driving 😅
Your husband is yelling at you?
I know the feeling 😅 my partner has been teaching me du to not available instructor and I feel like going crazy.
Lols. That's so true. No wife can learn with a hubby sitting next and giving directions.
I was taught with tape on the door and passed my test Monday but honestly feel like I was taught how to pass the test rather than how to drive. Now I'm going to work on the method you have shown, thank you for the videos they have been amazingly helpful.
Congratulations on passing!
Did my first parking a few days ago with my instructor and all he did was just blabbering and impatiently giving me instructions to park without teaching me slowly at all :( Really thankful for your insightful video... really appreciate it!
My teacher told me I shouldn't go online and get any driving tips, because he's the teacher and I should listen to him. He thinks I'm cheating on him with you.
I subscribed 😘
😂
🤭🤭🤣🤣 some cheating is necessary, especially when you are getting free and informative service.
Best wishes on attaining the skill of driving 💫
cheating is a fancy word for winner
0:41 That was very funny, I wasn't expecting for you to go that far with the explanation.
I was thinking maybe I should do it for real then decided an animation was more appropriate. 😄
I had completed all my driving lessons. And I have always ask my instructor, "what am I looking at from the mirror?" "At what angel or how do I know I am at the right direction?". There is no answer to my question. He told me, " is your judgement, is a feeling."
I couldn't get my parking right until this morning, I am so upset and stress, I really have no idea what should I look out for or what am I looking at from the mirror, and my test is happening next Monday!
I was just searching on TH-cam, hoping to find an answer, and YES! I FOUND YOUR VIDEO! After I watched repeatedly a few times. I went to try it out, it works wonderfully, I park it perfectly into the slot!
I really want to say thank you so much for all the effort in making all these videos. You saved me. At this current moment, I am going through all your other videos now.
I'm happy to hear I've helped. Good luck with your test.
Same here
@@ConquerDriving and I did passed 😁 thank you once again. For your videos!
Your parking videos are the best, even though they are not in my native language! Your lessons on learning angles are pure gold. Thank you for your great work!
I passed my driving test last year and started driving recently, forgetting many things my driving instructor told me in the meantime, but your videos and tips helped me so much. I have gained more confidence while driving, and easily learned how to do things I didn't know.
Thank you so much, you're such a legend!
Difference between a good driver and a bad one, is that a good driver seeks to constantly improve and refresh their driving skills to make sure they're driving safely. A bad driver doesn't.
Definitely wanna do sure start especially to get better once i get a car and to reduce insurance too
I passed 4.5 years ago and havent driven since, so having some refresher lessons tomorrow and binging this chap's videos to remember how to do these things lol
Praise the Lord for this video! I have been searching for something like this for ages. You have THE BEST video on this method I have ever seen, I am going to practice this on the weekend, I have always avoided parking this way as I have driving anxiety a bit and get nervous when people don't have patience when you are in a busy car park etc but with this video I feel confident enough to practice and perfect it for my car. Thank you SO MUCH!
This is the best reverse parking tutorial .Thank you very much for your time and efforts, it was very helpful for me as a foreign driver in the UK.
Please keep up the good work. Cheers mate.
You're welcome!
Wish he could give me some car manoeuvres i drive passed my test years ago but let my husband do most of the driving I’m not good at this just find the biggest place possible then panic if there’s a lot of parked cars
You have such a positive energy that motivates a person to drive and learn without having a fear of doing mistakes.
Pls make a video on how to overcome speed fear while driving on dual carriage ways and motorway.
My heart beat starts increasing when I try to drive above 40 miles. Don't know how to cope with it.
I passed my test a week ago and videos like these really do help a huge amount, even now I've passed I'm still watching them to help!
I've been driving for over 40 years and no-one has every explained this technique as well as you have, Richard. Brilliant!
Also, see the reverse parallel parking guide:- another really clear and foolproof method.
I LOVE the way you talk! You emphasize every single word 😄😊
I have noticed that since I've been filming myself. I also say intill instead of until and in this occasion instead of on this occasion.
I passed my test a year ago but only got my first car a few days ago. I got super frustrated that the parking method I was taught didn't work at all despite trying many times. Saw this video that night and tried it the next day. BAM worked perfectly and reliably. Thanks for the help!
I'm so happy to hear this!
Got my drivers license about 2 months ago. These videos help alot
Amazing! Thank you so much for this, I had my first reverse bay parking lesson today and while it wasn't a nightmare, I can see I'm going to need to practise it a lot. Very grateful for this video and all your others... your calm, upbeat, can-do attitude and for sharing your knowledge so freely. You're the best learn to drive channel on TH-cam! :)
Thanks Richard. Last week bought a new car bigger than my old one. I’m approaching 70 and not as confident as when younger. My Dad taught me to drive at 17 (he was a driving instructor in WW11, Tanks, jeeps, cars, trucks). Found you on TH-cam and love your methods. In Austrtalia we drive on right like in UK so your videos are perfect for me. Keep up the good work your followers love you.
Passed my driving test less than a week ago with only 7 minors. Used videos from you and a couple others on TH-cam to help.
Thought I made 2 serious mistakes and failed but carried on driving trying to ignore it and it was marked as 2 minors.
These videos really help, thank you
Well done and you're welcome, I have some videos coming soon for car care and basic maintenance that you may be interested in.
@@ConquerDriving looking forward to it
Conquer Driving yes please that would be so excellent
@thakkumikku I thought I made 2 serious mistakes but they were counted as minors.
One of the mistakes was braking to close to the car infront of me (the car infront braked suddenly).
The second was when I was at a junction deciding if I should go or not. I decided to go but the car stalled and a bus was approaching me from behind. Luckily I moved off without the bus needing to slow down
You are by far the best driving instructor! I love your explanations! Every one of them is very useful!
I used this method today and It worked perfectly. You're an amazing instructor. Congratulations!
Hi Richard, this video has been my north star for reverse parking! I think the crucial thing for me was the 'get there' part, getting the wheels straight and reversing back to get closer to the bay has made the manouvre much more reliable for getting a nice, clean park between the lines.
Amazing videos! I’m a very very nervous driver and you’ve made me feel a lot more at ease and reassured after not driving for 5 years!
Yes
I agree
You explain driving practices and pin point mistakes and find a solution for them on the spot. Your videos are extremely helpful. It boosted my confidence and I can see now where I make mistakes.
Thank you
Regards
I knew if was doing something wrong this whole time, and you've shown me the way. I love my new Mclaren Sena, bit ridiculous that you HAVE to get one of these to bay park but my parents always did say that driving is a big expense. Didn't even have to watch he rest of the vid after that so cheers, very time efficient 👍👍
I'm happy to hear I've help you with your car choice and your parking.
😂😂the see through door part was funny
My instructor has been teaching me the 123 method but yours seems so much better.i failed my test in may and lost my confidence but you are deffinatly changing that through your videos .so thank you
Mate! I'd always struggled with reverse bay parking, even with all the lessons from my instructor...till I watched this video a few hours before my test and learnt this method. It makes reverse bay parking super easy!
Passed! No faults!
You're Genius!
I just had my first driving lesson earlier today. The way you explain things are perfect! You are my go to driving channel now. Keep up the good work dude. ✨✨
Thank you!
Janitra Erlangga he is brilliant
@@devonmoon5016 awww thank youuu ✨, and you too, good luck for the lessons. He is amazing
I passed my test today and watched your video before my test thank you so much because of you I passed thank you
So happy I helped!
Thanks Richard for all the video's you made and Will still be making . It really help me a lot. In Belgium we can drive indepedently after 20 hours of lesson in a known driving school. 20 hours still not enough to learn everything. Because it's very expensive to pay for extra hours, i Just watch tutorial on TH-cam and that's when i came accross your channel. Your explanantion, point of view, tips,positivity, encouragement help me improved a lot 🙂. Please continue to inspire all the new drivers. Cheers to you all!
Have searched which driving license is the most powerful in the world and that is no doubt at all and im not suprised at all when i saw that its the UK !!! Its my ever first driving license to get, and what a pleasure to pass it !! Your vlogs are very clear and so helpful, thank you !!
Ive been waiting for this video! I enjoy your video struture and how well you present the information. Ive only been driving for 8 months and I absolutely hate bay parking, especially in small tight car parks but hopefully I can take this advice on!
Great Video!
Thank you and good luck, remember to lower your mirrors and return them when you're finished. I have an old car where the mirrors don't lower so I have to crane my neck up very high, this is ok when you're experienced as you can do it quickly. When you're a novice you need to take your time and stretching your neck whilst trying to control the car can get exhausting very quickly.
I’m not sure what it was with the way how my driving instructor has been explaining the reverse bay park but I couldn’t grasp the concept of it, BUT after watching your video I have!! Thankyou so much
You're very welcome ☺
You are the BEST teacher/instructor have ever seen! Please, keep it up.
Tried parking in a driving lesson and it was a mess. Randomly clicked on your video before my next lesson and slightly remember things that you taught in this video. Ended up my instructor said everything was spot on. Thank you.
You always describe things in the most detail and make it clear. Other videos just show you the manoeuvre which doesn’t help me.
I’m going to watch this video several times until this sinks in!
I haven’t been taught to park using reverse 45° method.
I passed in Dec and hate parking, mostly because I’m anxious and not confident at doing it. I don’t feel the 90° is practical, although I reverse into my driveway using 90° angle (but it’s not busy like a supermarket carpark!)
I want to be able to teach myself to park but it’s likely I may have to get lessons with an instructor if I can’t do it.
Being anxious about parking ruins the whole driving experience for me as I’m anxious the whole journey thinking about how I’m going to park! This is why I need to crack it.
People tell me it’ll come with time but I’m impatient as I know as soon as I crack this I’ll feel better about driving.
The more you do it the better you will get. It may be wise to reason with the source of the anxiety, I would guess it's more to do with people watching you and waiting for you than the ability to get into the space? People still have to wait for me to park and I will rarely do it in one, I like to go out straight and use the mirrors to make sure I'm central before going back again to finish.
This is my story, and the only part am dreading in my forthcoming test. God help me🙏🙏🙏. Will continue to watch these videos even after passing to develop more
@Conquer Driving thanks alot Richard, You are a rare gem tbh 🤗🤗, you give me so much hope and motivation about this driving.
Hopefully, I pass one day 🙏🙏🙏 cuz have never been this worried about achieving things🤕
I love your videos. I've just started driving again after a long period out. I had a few refresher lessons but your videos have been much better for getting grips with manoeuvres such as this. Please do a video about multi-storey car parks! :D
Thank you. I may do in the future.
MILLION thanks for your time to do these brilliant videos ... clear, informative and covered all points. you are a legend xx
Omg I struggle with correcting bay parks with the 90 degree method and the correction you did at 11:11 literally made it all click! Thank you!!!
Thank you a million, your videos helps to give me the confidence I so needed for my driving test and I am pleased to say I watched your videos even the night before the test.
I am grateful I pass today 💓
Thank you again!!
Congratulations on passing!
@@ConquerDriving God bless your channel
Thank you so much for this video! I have been avoiding bay parking for 8 years because I believed I could never do it but your video explains the steps really well :D I would be grateful if you could do a video on how to deal with emergency vehicles, thanks!
Thank you, good idea!
I passed my test a year ago, but only learnt one way which to be honest had a 50% success rate. And in my car, I have never been that great at reverse parking. I never had anyone explain what I was looking for in my mirrors and I never saw this on a video before. This method has been amazing as you go into this detail! Best video on this on TH-cam. Thanks! Has helped me massively!
I'm so happy to hear that 😊
Why am I watching this even though I am a somewhat experienced driver? I am a driving geek and his explanations are top class! Good work!
Well done, thank you very much, your approach is really interesting 👍🏻
You're welcome.
Richard, you've made this so easy for me, and very soon I have my drive test scheduled here in Ontario. I am more confident than I was ever before. My instructor could not do a better job even with 10 actual in car lessons than you did here.
Good luck with your upcoming test!
@@ConquerDriving thank you!
You've no idea how much your videos have helped me. I've been struggling so much with this, so thank you ❤
This video was extremely helpful probably the best on TH-cam as a new driver I was worried about my reverse bay parking these tips really helps THANK YOU
I was waiting for a video like this which explains this
Did this yesterday (4th lesson) I love these videos, thanks so much!
You're welcome.
⚘❤
Richard, I have watched this video several times and actually managed to reverse into a bay at an empty Tesco’s carpark this morning! I always drive into a space and avoid reversing like the plague. I’ve been driving for a long time and just wanted to thank you for the impossible! Wishing you a happy Easter.
Thank you so much for this very clear explanation. Im from Canada and my instructor only every ever taught me the 123 method which is not good in a busy parking lot, your reverse bay park video has taught me a lot about the mirrors. Thanks for giving me confidence, I will try this soon and provide an update. Your amazing. Stay blessed.
Thank you, I'm happy to hear I'm helping you.
Update?
Perfect explanation and your British accent so classy
Thank you.
Yay can't wait to watch this. You're amazing and deserve to be known more. Thanks so much for uploading this great video :)
Thank you, good words of encouragement for when I'm in a car park being stared at by everyone for filming and talking to a camera :)
@@ConquerDriving I know exactly what you mean! 😄
Got my test tomorrow and just checking over the manoeuvres now! Great video thanks!
Excellent presentation! You are the best Professor of driving!
this is really similar to the method I've been learning with my driving lessons however instead of looking for the gab I was taught to look for the triangle
As long as it works 😉
What triangle?
Thank you so much for this my instructor taught me only 1st method but i parked left well but right side is only problem i struggled 😰😵 .i don't know what the problem with right. But i will trying your method (the half )one on my own car .😊😀
Good luck, the same principle applies for both left and right. Don't give up, keep trying.
@@ConquerDriving Aw thank u so much. 😀
This is the best tutorial on bay parking because it clearly explains how to use the mirrors.
Brilliant explanation....how easily u explain tricky problems... so impressive... everyone can improve his driving skills here...
Wonderful XXXX thankyou amazing video sooo helpful and super easy to learn ,makes so much sense :-) lol so much fun too
Great to hear that!
Best instructor thanks alot
Thank you and you're welcome
This is pure gold. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Hi, I’ve am currently watching all your films for tips, etc as due to take my driving test soon. Find all videos helpful and look forward to seeing ones about buying cars. 👍👍👍
Thank you!
My instructor taught me the first way and I still get it wrong, hopefully I'll be able to try the second method as it makes so much more sense.
I hope so, I really don't agree with the first way as you can't see where you are and will only work in one specific car.
@@ConquerDriving I tried to give it a go and he doesn't agree with dry steering whatsoever - I did nail the parallel park though from your other vid and he couldn't understand how I was doing it :')
@@natashatribe4676 great news, shame he won't accept dry steering, it's not a problem on the test and will make your life a lot easier. I've been doing it for 150,000 miles in my current leaner car with no problems.
Can you do a video with “ the different Show Me” questions that can be asked in the current UK driving test please? There ARE existing “Show me” , and “Tell me” videos on TH-cam , which to a degree have been helpful, but for many questions the video doesn’t pause for long enough or give a clear enough view of , for example, the controls I would need to press inside the car to switch on the rear demister. (There are other examples which I can’t currently remember!) I have tried pausing the video myself but it just doesn’t show the symbols/controls clearly enough for me to be confident that I could answer correctly in the test. Thank you. You have gained a new subscriber by the way! :)
You're welcome, I do plan yo make a good show me tell me video in the future with symbols so you will know what's what on every car.
Conquer Driving Thank you! That’s fab :) :) 👌
Thank you for this , demonstrating all the typical wrongs was VERY HELPFUL
This is the best reverse parking video i have seen. Thank you.
Hi, once again thank you for these extremely helpful videos - I’m watching a lot of these daily in the hope that they will sink into my subconscious before my next lesson! :) I have another question...one thing I feel quite nervous about when doing a reversing manoeuvre is that say for example, a dog or a very young child was directly behind the car , they would probably not be visible in the back window or the mirrors due to their height. An older child, adult or cyclist would obviously know to get out of the way and that this would be a dangerous place to stand so they wouldn’t remain there, but a young child or dog might not move in time. Am I overthinking this? Lol
Thank you for your praise. I would not say you're overthinking this, these thoughts have entered my mind. There is an element of risk in everyday life and this is one of the risks. However it is an unlikely one as if you're aware of your surroundings you would likely see the kid or dog approaching and go out of view behind your car. Also, most animals and children won't let a car run over them, they will move out of the way, that's why it's important to go slowly to give them time to move if you have missed them. But you are right, you can't completely negate risk only reduce it as much as possible. I personally decide not to worry about things that are out of my control.
I just realised I've been to this car park lol
Took a couple of tries to get this but now it works every time. Seriously, thank you!
One of the greatest driving instructors of all time 👏🙌♥️
Is that the back door or front door... used as a reference?
Front door.
Parking on left side
1. stop when you feel like you are sitting outside the middle of the spot you want
2. Turn your side mirrors down *specifically the left one*
3. Steer all the way away from the space you want (all the way to the right)
4. Get the second line to have a small space between you and the car
5. Get close to the bay (get the line to be just at the bottom of the mirror)
6. Get angle off (steer all the way to the left)
7. Come back slowly until car is parallel to the line
8. Straighten the wheel and come back slowly until you are in the parking spot fully:)
Parking on right
Do the same except use your right mirror this time
Step 3 changes to steering all the way left
Step 6 changes to steer all the way to the right
Sounds about right. Do you think I should make a shorter more concise video?
@@ConquerDriving IMO this video is just right. It's a bit long but I'm pretty sure some people need the long explanation.
Your driving lessons always exceptional. 👍
Can I just say your better then my driving instructor at parking this has helped me a lot & aswell with confidence thank u✌️
Do forward n parallel next
I have a parallel already. Yes, I need to do a forwards one, got so many to do.
@Sharon Reilly I'll be honest, personally I find forwards harder as I can't see the lines for most of the manouvre.
My father do it so easily, i wish i can learn that from him but sadly he pass away on 55 age
I'm sorry to hear that.
I have been driving for 46 years but I am learning so much from your video. Your explanations are wonderful.
Great to hear! Thank you for watching!
Hi I’ve been searching for videos on parking~ judging distance between cars and foot positions on pedals and I found it on your channel. Your channel been so far the best and very helpful. Just subscribe Thank You!!☺️👍
Booked the test in 3 weeks literally don’t even know how to do this
Good luck 🤞
amazing mate i have my test comming this friday and well, i am watching every video that i can find and yours are the best!! keep it up!
Thank you
Passed my test 5 years ago and I NEVER reverse park, but would love to because getting out looks safer (hate reversing in general)! Asked my husband this method, it looks like the one he uses but he does it 'automatically' and can’t explain it to me and both instructors taught me the 3 car method too but I could never get my head around it and in reality, someone WILL knick my space as I drive pass it, so I can't thank you enough!!!👍
SAME. 3yrs been driving and never had to or chose to do one. Have you accomplished it yet?
He's really good, thank you, I passed by driving test I think as teenager but haven't driven for long time, did have a driving lesson recently but didn't go back after but finding these videos super super helpful,
Thanks buddy. I knew that length of cars would become a problem, thanks for your explanation and a better reference. Kudos and more recognition for you.
This reverse bay parking video is the best, I been looking for video that will explain step by step using the mirror. I'm so happy that I managed to do my parking. Thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Same with me. This video does help
@@funmi5265 I'm glad it helps
Thank you so much for this, I've never been able to do this and was taught with the stickers, just beginning to drive a year after passing my test. Managed to do this twice after watching and going to keep practicing
Thank you so much for this video!!! I just passed but always had reference points for this on my instructors car, but my car is smaller so wasn’t able to park properly but using your method definitely helped me and I’m able to reverse park properly now! 😊
Thank you for this! I've been learning with my aunt for most of the year and then went to a driving instructor to make sure I'd covered everything.
He initially taught me with the sticker method which is all good and well but like you say I'm not going to have that on the day,
Today, I tried the angle on, get there method when parking up and returning the car. I didn't have full space to angle out but I managed to successfully reverse park between 2 bay parked cars! Previously I was terrified of this, but I was able to do it after watching this video!
Amazing thank you! I have my test on Wednesday! So going to be catching up with the videos that will help me. I will update!
i love these videos!!! by far my favourite driving channel on here!!!
Thank you so much for your video. I am struggling in parking. It really gives me a clearer mind.
I love your videos! I was struggling with reverse bay parking, but your brilliant explanation and humour have helped me so much! 😂😀
My test is on Thursday and now I feel more confident about this manouvre. Thank you Richard! 🙏
How did it go?
Fun fact.
I watched a different video from another youtuber/instructor. And he thought the 3 lane forward method like you showed.
Honestly I tried it and yes it does work. But 100% of the time, the reference won't work on all cars due to different car dimensions. But it does work.
So I went with my brother and tested it myself and it did work.
Then my brother brought up that it might not work always. Then he pointed a single lone separate parking bay in front of Wren's Kitchen store and told me how can I park if it did not have 3 lanes as reference. I said I dunno.
We switched up, and he showed me the same method you are showing in the video ! And I learned how to reverse that way.
I didn't necessarily have to do the full lock to Angle On as I did not wanna enter the bays in front/there are cars in the bay in front. But still did the angle (shallow at times), and followed the same steps and making sure I am going into the bay. Just keep looking at the mirror while still observing.
Honestly your maneuver videos are really good.
Simply because you actually show what you see in the mirrors.
Thank you so much for the great explanation mate big fan and supporter from Morocco 🇲🇦 xx
I learnt this method on my last lesson and is so much better than the 90° method this video is perfect thankyou ☺️👍
Finally what I needed! I need to reverse park in a tight parking space next to my house, walls on both sides. Well no bay lines there, really. Thank you.
