The examiner might ask you to drive forward into
any bay on the left or right finishing within the lines. You can choose which bay to drive into,
so to make it easier, pick a bay where there aren't any other vehicles nearby. If you want to
drive into a bay on the right, then if it's safe, position your car to the left so you have more
space to swing into the bay and straighten up. This is the bay I've chosen. Now this is when I need to turn. The first line
of the bay I want disappears into the car here. Make sure it's safe to turn first
by checking the interior mirror, right hand mirror, quick right shoulder check
and signal if there's anyone to benefit. Now I'll steer full lock, maximum to the
right, driving slowly but steering quickly. Once the car is in the bay and almost straight,
straighten the steering back to the left. You know when the car is straight as the dashboard will look like it runs parallel
with something in front of you.
Stop when this line touches
the bottom of the mirror. You might need to stop sooner if
there's something sticking out in front of you like a bush or another
vehicle that's sticking out in your bay. On the driving test, you must stop
before driving into the bay in front. Parking brake on, select neutral. You're allowed
to open your door to check if you're in the bay as long as it's safe.
All reference points shown
may look slightly different to you as it depends on your height, seat position and the car
you're driving but they will be similar. If you're not in the bay then you're allowed to
reverse and readjust it back in. But remember to keep observing to make sure it's safe.
You will probably get a driving fault for correcting the manoeuvre but at least it won't
be a serious fault for not being in the bay. The examiner will now ask you to reverse out to
the left or right. Observe all around including the rear window and if there isn't any vehicles
next to you then you can steer immediately. Reverse slowly and stop if anyone gets near you but continue if it's safe. Straighten the
steering. Make sure it's safe and drive on. If you want a bay on the left, then if it's
safe, start away from the bay to the right. When to turn into the bay is
the same, just on the left side.
Observe, signal if necessary
and if it's safe, turn. Watch this video next to find out how to
parallel park using an imaginary slice of pizza. As always, thanks a lot for watching.
