  • HOW TO REVERSE PARK - Easy Basic Steps For How To Back Safely Into A Stall Or Bay Parking Spot
    Parking in reverse is a driving skill that comes in handy in many real-world situations. It's a useful thing to learn, because it's definitely safer to pull out from a parking spot when you're leaving, than it is to back out of it. I always reverse park at a big event, such as a concert or baseball game. When the event ends and everybody's trying to leave the parking lot at the same time, it's a lot easier and safer to pull straight out into the traffic than it is to back out into it.
    This procedure is known by several different names: reverse parking, 90-degree reverse parking, reverse stall parking, or reverse bay parking. But they all just really describe how to back into a parking space. In this video, I'll show you how to find the reference point that you can start backing from in order to safely and easily reverse into any parking spot. I'll show you how to go out and practice this until you're confident that you're ready to try it in an actual reverse parking situation. Knowing how to reverse park will make you a better driver, and may even come in handy to help you pass the road test for your driver's license.

    me and my aunt went to a parking lot that had practice cones. I tried to do a back-in for like 30 minutes and kept messing it up so she got in the drivers and said she'd show me how then she backed in and ran over the cone. I felt a little better about not being able to back in after that.

    • @kafka0015
      @kafka0015 Рік тому

      @@Ace_boy318 If you have powered side mirrors, you can adjust the left (or right) mirror pointing downward which shows you the line. It may be cumbersome at first, but you'll soon learn to back into spaces without having to adjust the mirrors. In case that tech isn't available to you, then the good old fashion is to literally step out of the vehicle and judge how much adjustment you need to make.

      As a driving instructor we have different size cars with obviously different reference points. When we teach we get the car thats available for us at that time. Instead of remembering different reference points for different car what would you say is a standard method for any car when backing into a parking space?

    Thank you for sharing both left and right sides. I'd never been shown how to reserve park, although I've been driving for decades. I recently bought my first car and started using our condo's parking garage. However, the spots are quite narrow, and mine is against a wall. I had to go back and forth 20 times to make it work every time I parked, which was not only embarrassing, but took too much time. I finally found your video this morning and was able to park so easily that a woman stopped me afterwards to remark on how impressive my parking is! hahaha! Thank you.

    This is one the better reverse parking videos that I’ve seen.
    To those working on parking skills, The four steps to good reverse parking are (1} Signal (2) Setup (3) Scan 4) Back in. ( As shown in the video). Keep the dry steering to a minimum.
    It’s not that hard with a little practice , also practice backing into driveways can be a good way to learn back in parking. The steps are nearly identical to bay parking. Good luck / good video. Thanks 🚗😎

      Sorry, I know it can be frustrating. It does help to take a break from it, and after hours of doing it, I bet you really needed one. The next time you try it, everything might just click for you. It’s often little things we’re doing that throw us off when we’re learning something like this. And remember to try slightly different reference points to see what works best, and be sure you’re turning your steering wheel all the way when you start your backing turn. Best of luck…you really can do this.

    Great thank you! Also, when we’re backing up are we suppose to look behind ( like turning our head to the back) or as we suppose to use our mirrors? I’m curious because people told me that if you turn your head then you’re going to lose points in the on the road exam

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills  3 роки тому +5

      Yes, definitely look behind you out the rear window if your vehicle has one. Mirrors do not give you a full view. To see as much as possible, turn your body and head to the right and look through the rear window. You can glance at your mirrors also, but mainly look out the rear window. You’ll definitely lose points on your Road Test if you have a rear window and don’t use it when backing. On the other hand, vehicles without a rear window like some trucks or delivery vans must rely solely on their mirrors and backup cameras.
