  • Many people are taught the third line method when learning how to reverse into a parking space in the UK. This method limits you to easy spaces in only the car you learnt in. It doesn't teach you how to park in more awkward spaces, driveways and garages. On the Driving Test in the UK you can use whatever method you like, as long as it's accurate, you have good control of the car and you make effective observations. Here is a parking technique that requires practise, but once you have the skill you will find parking anywhere easy.

      If you look at the videos through a mirror it seems more ‘natural’ for left hand drives. Just think left when he says right and vice versa.

  • @lu4632

    wow this video is so timely. I commute to my campus daily and since returning to school over a month ago, I have only reverse parked once (out of fear of hitting other cars), but I don't like that since I usually park forward, when I am leaving I have to reverse out on a relatively busy road. Ive been forcing myself to reverse park in my driveway when I get home to build my skill but I do it by trial and error and I think not knowing how to use my mirrors properly make it harder. Will go to a parking lot and try learning to use the mirrors and hopefully build the confidence to reverse park in my university lot for safety. thanks for the video!

    My instructor taught me to use the clutch 1st and I did use that method in my instructor's car for the practical test but in my car, using gas then clutch is definitely much better. Haven't stall once since being used to setting the gas first then clutch.

    I learned the 3 line technique just to help pass my test. Then when i bought my first car it was a little shorter and when doing the 3 line technique in the carpark at work i ended up turning too shallow and cutting the line everytime. So after some confidence i scapped it and started to use the 45 degree method with using the mirrors to see the lines when reversing. So much easier.

It was a mistake i would usually never do and have never done before, but my instructor would always get angry at me when i didnt do it, so i think i chose the wrong time to try doing it under pressure so the examinar had to stop me. It hit me hard because i could have easily avoided it and possibly passed.

    Thank you for your advice.

And yes I agree different cars different feel especially in manoeuvring

    Thanks for this video, it’s fantastic so helpful I followed your instructions and I parked my car from the first time just a question do I need to signal while parking this way?

      I'm happy to hear that, only signal if you feel it's helpful czcams.com/video/n9u_hqfpj9k/video.html

    That tip for the steering direction when reversing is so useful, I used to always get confused when I wanted to reverse.
    Thank you for all of your great guides!

    Love your videos. Have learned a lot. Thank you. I have one question. Isn't it bad for the tires if I move the steering wheel all the way in either direction whilst the car is at a standstill? My tires make a squeaking sound when I do it. How do I go about this?

      Thank you, my car has 176,000 mile on it now, dry steering doesn't seem to affect it. I recommend this video czcams.com/video/BCEgIlgjS_8/video.html
