  • 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.

    To all the teen drivers here in the comments, I was like you guys too when I was first started learning to drive but don’t be afraid. Just gain confidence and stay calm. Being nervous or stressing about your driving exam will make your driving skills worse. You guys got this!

    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.

      @@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.

    Reverse parking into a spot is objectively the better way to park in most situations.

I've been backing up into spots for quite a few years now and I'm glad to see somebody showing newer drivers how to do it because it makes it a lot safer for everyone involved.

    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 🚗😎

    I practised this so much before my license test - and then - I was asked to parallel park, which my instructor for whatever reason, did NOT teach me. It went smoothly though. Just except someone's dog suddenly decided to run between the cars, and "sit" in my spot, just as I was about to manouver the car into place. I mumbled: "yeah doggie, you can sit there until your owner gets to you, we'll keep you safe until then". Got my license in first try, after a very short (and hilarious) test. :) It's all about staying calm, and keeping an eye on what is going on around your vehicle.

Wish me luck tomorrow I hope I don’t make a fool of myself😭

      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.

    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.

Then I moved to HI, on the Hilo side of the Big Island. Most of the locals backs into the parking spot. Never seen anything like that before. My reverse skills got better but still needed a lot of work because my point of reference is never the same lol. Now I’m in Texas and like to continue backing in. Gotta keep practicing until I get it in one shot.

      Glad to hear it helped! I’ve heard that it’s pretty common in several European countries that most drivers back in to park. It’s much less common in the United States, but personally, I prefer to back in to park whenever possible. It’s safer to be able to pull directly out from your parking spot than backing out into possible oncoming traffic. Keep practicing and it’ll keep getting easier - you can do it!

      I never had to do reverse parking in Alberta and I got a Class 4 last year. What province is this?

    Thank you!! I passed today! I was most worried about this as i find the cones distracting but can park regularly on the street :'') the rear window seat trick was perfect!

      I'm the same way...if I can see it demonstrated, there's a lot better chance I'll grasp the concept. Thanks a lot for watching!
