This is a good method for passing your test in an empty car park but i think the 45 degree method is more sensical for parking between cars in a busy car park which is what happens in real life
@@DGNDrivingyeah that’s the discussion I had with my tutor a couple of months ago. they taught me both 90 degree and 45 degree. just to give me more of an understanding of the difference between what your expected to do on a test and to what’s more practical after I’ve passed my test.
as an instructor myself, i hate that so many people teach this way. How do these people reverse onto their drive, into their garage, or if the only bay they can use doesn't have room for 3 lines after? Says it all when there's stickers all over the window and edge of the car. It's not teaching people to park their car. This is why so many people can't parallel park, they were taught a way to get them through their test and that's it
Passed my driving test today on first attempt. Didn't hire any driving instructor for any lesson, went with my own car. Though I've been driving for the past 12years before I came to the UK in October 2022. My driving pattern was totally different after I watched so many UA-cam videos. Then I began to adjust and learned so many tricks to pass UK driving test. Today, I want to say a big thank you to all the youtubers doing this great job to help people pass their test. I wouldn't have passed my test if not for this videos. Kudos guys👍
@@Worms_Pro She said she had been driving for 12 years before she came to the UK. If it was taking her 12 years to learn i think she wouldve called it quits🤣🤣
Hi everyone!Brilliant job Phoebe!Experienced driver here from Germany(10+years of experience)but I still watched it and learnt from it!Thank you!As a little advice for people just like me, never become overcomfident, always check your blind spots and not only the mirrors!Ialmost had an accident the other day with an old lady on her bike, overtaking from the wrong side while I was parking.Of course she shouldn't do that after the rules here, but it's still not an excuse for anyone to hurt her just because she was a bit confused.Saw it in the last second.Check your blind spots girls and boys!
I’ve always thought this 45 degree method is the most efficient way (for me personally) you don’t get bogged down with reference points! My instructor showed me two methods for reverse bay parking and I decided this was the best way to do it. Passed my test two weeks ago 😊
@@Brumie-qq4dc Doing it from 90 deg also requires you to go onto the wrong side because the front will swing out over the line. In principle it requires a bit less space, but not by much. Pulling a bit further past and putting at least some angle on (even just 10deg or so) is still better though, and will typically require less space than starting from 90 deg. It doesn't need to be one or the other.
Just passed my own test today, thank you so much for your videos they were a life saver!! Good luck to everyone doing their own tests. I will still continue to watch occasionally because your videos are very entertaining. Keep it up!
Personally i think the 45 degree method is better and more transferrable seen as you don't have to rely on stickers for where to go. Thats just what I find thp
I would remember that I've got 1.5 turns to play with to get it equidistant and parallel. So if you're too near the inner line, give it half a turn to put the car on a less tight turning circle, then you know when it goes parallel you've got 1 full turn to do get the wheels straight. If you are too near the outer line, you would wanna just pull forward and then reverse in again.
Absolute legend Pin. You too Phoebe, well done! Personally, i prefer using the 45 degree method for bay parking but 90 is good too. Your a superb driver and your doing really well, please keep it up! Remember, nervous pigeon. Keep those observations up. Great video, thanks so much for all that you do Pin. Its brilliant! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your useful information video. I’m glad to say I did my test last Tuesday I’m past. I did Lessons with my husband and your video no Instructor . Thanks again
Reference point i would always use my shoulder or the B pillar. Then you have a starting point in any vehicle. I personally just do off the mirrors and will generally hsve the bsck of the vehicle in the center psst the space i want then aim the vehicle the inside of the corner of the entrance to the space. At this point the vehicle should be at 45 to the line on the inside and is really a case of being slow good clutch control and and adjusting steering to suit. Depending on tightness you might need to pull forward as the angle is too shallow of entry plus things can be tight. Then with the mirrors watch the back wheels.
OMG this brings back horrible memories. My driving instructor had a set of coloured stickers on the windows for reversing around a corner, another set of coloured stickers on the windows for parallel parking, and another set of coloured stickers on the windows for bay parking. It was the most confusing thing I've ever seen. I kept making mistakes because I had to remember what each sticker meant and which colours to look at in any given situation as well as looking out the windows and mirrors. One day, I said to my instructor "look, these stickers aren't working for me. Please can I ignore them and reverse into a space like a normal person?" the instructor said sure, so I just revered straight into a space perfectly. The instructor was speechless. Reversing is easier than driving forward in my opinion, that's why people don't drive forward into a tight space.
I learned this exact method and glad I did because sometimes you need to do such a maneuver in tight parking lots. However, I wish I was told that I should drive while looking and steering through the back window. So I twist my body so I can see the back but I can still rotate my head to look at all mirrors.
Even in tight spaces it is typically advantageous to apply some angle before reversing, even just 10deg or so. This makes it easier to judge as well as actually requiring less space opposite. It doesn't need to be 90 or 45.
my instructer says when u i have the reference point i should instantly full lock to the left. ive seen you didnt do that is that a issue if i full lock straight away ? i cant find anyone that does that other than me ? pls help haha
I understand that this method is purely to enable the learner to pass the test, however, when driving in "real life," there aren't going to be sticker markers plastered all over any future cars she may drive. My point is, has she realllly learnt how to reverse park? Seeing this helped me to understand why many "just passed" drivers struggle with this manoeuvre.
I've been driving for a year only doing 1 hourly lessons wasn't very confident so I've only just starting to do manoeuvres now I've done forward bay parking a few times not to bad I just forget either the brake or the clutch so I'm either to fast or to slow
@@wrightwoodwork I get in the bay good I just sometimes forget what my feet are doing on my lesson doing the bay park wasn't very good with the clutch then the next time was the brake it's just for me to get better at it
@@wrightwoodwork yeah it is so much to learn I've already passed my theory last August I'm hoping to pass this year I shocked myself passing that first time
@@Sharon-cl6rs I never needed to do all the theory test and hazard perception. Saying that you didn't have things like UA-cam to help you understand things. It was just your instructor and parents knowledge you had to learn from . Most of the tasks is breaking it down into 3 part so the beginning thinking about where you want to start and to be . The middle part where you carry out the main part. Then end when you finish it off . So parking once past you are thinking I want to park you are simply looking see the space as as you are approaching you are checking what's happening around you whilst you stop and setting up how you want to . Middle part entering the space whilst keeping an eye on what's happening. Then the end everything all good or do you need to readjust. Its much easier to break the task down then you don't get confused. Same with roundabouts thinking about your approach to and what's happening on it. Middle part joining and end exiting.
For me it's the bay reverse, especially since in my country you must fit EVERY part of your car inside the lines, not just "oh, the guys next to me have enough door space :)"
@@BritishBiblioholic You can when you start off. Then fix your eye in the middle of the bay and aim to put the middle of your back window in the middle of the bay.
I stuggled alot when learning to reverse bay park as i always got my reference point messed up lucky i got parallel park on my test as i did it perfectly and passed if i got reverse bay park it would have been a nightmare i would have to re adjust a few time if i had got it on my test
I had my test in September 2022 and my driving instructor had never taught me reverse bay park. I assumed that maybe it wasn’t done in tests anymore. But leading up to my test (I’d stopped having professional lessons in July due to waiting so long for my test date post covid, and affordability) I tried learning it in a car park two days before my test with my partner in my own car and we both really struggled. So I watched a few videos, just on the off chance and learned a technique but didn’t get to practice it. I just hoped that I’d get parallel parking as was pretty good at it. However, less than 10 minutes into my test he took me to a car park and asked me to reverse bay park. All I could do was try the way I’d watched in the videos and bam! It worked. I couldn’t believe it. Had I not watched those videos I would have failed, but I passed my test first time aged 48. To say I was happy and relieved was an understatement 😁
@@healfdeane welldone i just use the youtube video to help me do the bay parking i think it be much easier then doing it with my instructor as my instructor only wanted me to do the 3 line method which is ok but i just don't like the method
But the car crossed the lines on all occassions. I know this is acceptable in the test, but in reality that is bound to take someone's bumper off if you consider parking between two parked vehicles on either side of you.
Reference points are actual cringe, doesn't teach how to park at all. It's so much easier to just look out window towards the back of the car, you can very easily see where it's going
I think it's fine to teach based on parts of the car like the wing mirrors, pillars, and so on. Those are just useful things to help judge positioning with the caveat they might be different on other cars. But putting stickers everywhere other than just to help people get started is taking it too far I think. Not many people are going to put stickers on their car after they have passed.
On a test, they check based on where the wheels are - if your bumpers are overhanging or its a big car, they don't mark you for that. I think you can somehow pass with two wheels ON the line, but I really wouldn't go for a test if that's the level you're at
Man. In my country, they do. The cars are all able to fit inside a typical space, so I get judged for front bumpers, rear bumpers, side mirrors, all must be within the confines of a parking space :/
@@BichaelStevens If you're getting ready to do your test, I wish you luck - people talk about a "45 degree method" which is actually just how most people (including myself) reverse park once they're not a learner. If you're in a small hatchback, it really does get easy with practice. The problem in the UK is that people like to buy big SUVs and they barely fit within the lines anymore
Your videos helped me. That was me. I started well and made a mistake just 1 minute or so into the test at a complex roundabout. The rest well but that one mistake failed me. It was as serious oh.

Reverse Parallel parking is going to be the worst, that's a nightmare to master.

@@TaxingIsThieving Who are you saying this to?
IRL someone else nips into the space in the meantime 😊
The best reverse bay parking hack is to just LOOK OUTSIDE THE BACK WINDOW. You don't need to worry about lining up anything with anything.
Can't see the lines out of the back window. Especially if short. Use your mirrors 🙃
