I want to thank you for your efforts and the videos. I had a test at kelmscott, was my third attempt and passed. It was a rainy day but phew I managed it. Your videos helped a lot. Thanks a ton😀
Hi, I just wanted to make sure that during a PDA when it comes to parking, will they fail you or take marks off if your car is not in the centre of the parking? What if ur abit towards the left/right but still in the bay is that okay? Thank you!
Hi Marie, it will depend on the degree of the error whether or not they take points off. We always suggest checking after you park by opening your door if you are unsure how well you aligned your vehicle. Don't hesitate to correct if necessary according to your judgement. The majority of assessors will not penalise you. If you look at parked cars around you in any carpark, not many of them are aligned perfectly. Do your best!
@@DrivingSchoolWA Thanks for replying and I've noted what you've stated above! I just had another question, when It comes to left something behind exercise and there was chance of me of using a intersection to go back to the house but I didn't and decided to use a drive way instead is that okay ? Thank you again for replying and keep up with your videos!
@@marieal-sayad4701 You are most welcome. RE Exercise Left Something Behind, try to take the first available opportunity, but if you miss the intersection don't go too far before you turn around. With any reasonable assessor, the worst-case scenario would be loss of points for the flow
4:32 I notice in that example the car reversing has cut the line and got very close. I was always taught to not cut the line when reversing at all costs, because they will fail or mark you down because of cutting the lines. Is this true and if there are no cars in the parking bays beside the ones you chose is it ok to cut lines?
Can you use the 45 degree method for the PDA, i find it a lot faster and more efficient and easier to line the bay up. Also with the 45 parking right hand side should I mirror check/ head check indicate right for the bay then indicate left to swing out on the 45 a angle or just indicate left ? Thanks
Hi there, where should i look during reverse parking? I thought it was just side mirrors and rear, but had an instructor saying i needed to check blind spots 3-5 times in the procedure, which doesnt let me park properly because i cant focus on aligning the car
Yes, if you don't interfere with any traffic it's fine. By the way, it's easier for learner drivers doing the test because if they steer while going backwards it's higher possibility they will end up on an angle again. So the best advice is, make corrections forward and drive straight back in without delay. 99 percent of assessors will not even take points for it. Thank you for watching
@@DrivingSchoolWA Would I have to check all mirrors and blind spots after I've made my corrections forward and before I drive straight back into the bay?
Hi! Do I have to use this specific method for the test? Because I've also been taught to turn 45 degrees before reversing and then reversing in that way, without having to reverse over several bays, but it does block the other side of the road too, even if for a few seconds. It's a much, much easier way, but is this method of reverse parking allowed for the test?
Rules in Western Australia since October 2017 are following: Indicate left before you position your car to reverse, then switch of the indicator and proceed reversing
As long as you recover quickly they are not going to fail you on the spot. Less corrections the better because you don't want to pile up too many errors for path and flow and fail as a result. Thank you for watching!
im good with maths and angles, so i think id be good at reverse parking i actually gave my auntie good instructions on how to park coz she's still bad at reverse parking she's the one who hyped me up i thought it was just basic instructions i gave her
They mark you down for angling a vehicle on a 45-degree. In every day life it's okay as long as you don't take too long while blocking both sides before you start the manouevre
@@DrivingSchoolWA Oh, just asked this, sorry, you don't have to reply to that comment then. Bummer. Why do they mark you down though? I don't get it, is it breaking a traffic rule or something?

Hi!!
Can you adjust side mirrors before attempting a reverse park in the PDA?
In order to see the park lines properly
It's best to have them possitioned properly all the time. That way you should see the lines

Fantastic video
Thank you 🙏

You have to cut the line to park without deviating too much. None of the assessors will take points for that
It's funny how many people cut through the entire carpark and they are fully licensed drivers. Thank you for the video!
Yeah, it happens a lot, especially in quiet carparks. Carparks are private property, so not even cops can do much about it. Thanks for watching!

I have the same question!
Are you allow to angle your car about 45 degree to other side of road when traffic is clear , and reverse back to parking bay or not ?
Not in the driving test
Hi there, where should i look during reverse parking? I thought it was just side mirrors and rear, but had an instructor saying i needed to check blind spots 3-5 times in the procedure, which doesnt let me park properly because i cant focus on aligning the car
Are you actualy allowed to drive forward by the whole lenght of the car to make the correction without losing points?
Yes, if you don't interfere with any traffic it's fine. By the way, it's easier for learner drivers doing the test because if they steer while going backwards it's higher possibility they will end up on an angle again.

@@DrivingSchoolWA Thank you. That makes sense!
@@lindaberking6618 Yes. You are most welcome!

danke aus Austria👍
You are most welcome!
Would I indicate to the bay I’m going in?

Thanks mate, such a great video!
You are most welcome. Glad you liked it!
How many of minor corrections in reverse parking are acceptable to pass the test?
As long as the assessor doesn't touch controls I think you should be ok
As long as you recover quickly they are not going to fail you on the spot. Less corrections the better because you don't want to pile up too many errors for path and flow and fail as a result. Thank you for watching!
@@lianab2416 Yes, and also less hesitation to fix your path, the better
Hi do you have to indicator when pulling out of a drive way. Like when reversing out? i never see anyone do it
No, you don't
im good with maths and angles, so i think id be good at reverse parking
i actually gave my auntie good instructions on how to park coz she's still bad at reverse parking
she's the one who hyped me up
i thought it was just basic instructions i gave her
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Is this the only correct way to reverse park for the PDA test? Can you use the 45° instead?
They mark you down for angling a vehicle on a 45-degree. In every day life it's okay as long as you don't take too long while blocking both sides before you start the manouevre
@@DrivingSchoolWA Oh, just asked this, sorry, you don't have to reply to that comment then. Bummer. Why do they mark you down though? I don't get it, is it breaking a traffic rule or something?
@@elaine428 i think its because its blocking the other side
If you fail this do you fail the test because I hate this and can't do it.
You should complete it to pass the test. Just practice. You can do it!
People count lines and stuff? Just park the damn thing...
😂
