Reverse Bay Parking Manoeuvre, Using The 45 Degree Method From Think Driving School

This is the best video ive seen on bay parking quick simple and informative why didnt my instructor teach me this easy two step manoeuvre so gutted.

This is THE video that made me go from absolutely dreading reverse parking to actually PREFERRING it in real life. I just passed my driving test, by the way! I learned sooo much from these Think Driving School videos. I now always look out for "Bob and Tom" haha. Brilliant!

"...constantly looking around like a nervous pigeon..." hahaha

The trick of looking at the line below the mirror is great, I didn't know how to have a point of reference

Thank you! It was always my weakest part parking like this! This video was so helpful. Because no ever told me how to do proper way. Most people would say so simple! So a big thank you! No more panic attacks 😃

When I began to learn how to do bay parking nearly two years ago, I searched videos of this method because most drivers used this one in my country. But then most videos taught 90 degree aka 3 line method; very few taught 45 degree method. With limited sources of this method I finally could do it and always used it. But then I thought I needed to learn 3 line method as well and began to practice it. I found that the traditional 3 line method had additional advantage, not only for parking, but also for reversing around a corner. A few months ago, I got bored in using 45 degree, especially when there was only 1 car next to my car. Besides, I just intentionally want to show people a different method they probably have never known or used before. I found the traditional 3 line method was fun to use, because it gave me more time for swinging in reverse. However, it depends on situation to determine which method I will use : - if traffic behind me is quiet, I will use the traditional method - in a busy traffic, I will use 45 degree method Imo, every driver should learn both methods so they will be prepared to deal with situations in which one method is more suitable than the other one and vice versa.

This video is excellent. Thank you for including all the reference points, wheel positions, car paths and corrections. This is the most helpful reverse bay parking video I've seen.

Passed my test in dec 2016 at 34 weeks pregnant. Didnt drive much after that. My instructors never taught me how to bay park, because the test centre that i used don't have parking bays so they just never bothered. Upon returning to work, i have been using your videos on bay parking and learnt so much.I start work at 7am,but i get there at 6 am and use your videos to practice my reverse parking. This morning i did all my reverse parking in one go, without having to do more than one correction. It really boosted my confidence. Thank you. Will be using your videos again tomorrow morning and until i feel 100% confident in reversing between two cars.

i passed my test firsr try and this video helped me dont stress guys its easier than u think u will try extra hard on the exam without even knowing

THIS VIDEO HELPED ME PASS MY PRACTICAL EXAMINATION DRIVING TEST. THANK YOU THINK DRIVING SCHOOL AND GOD BLESS ALL BEGINNERS LIKE ME! YOU CAN AND WILL DO IT🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

awesome vid how did you do the high up shot....a drone? nice best instruction videos on YouTube

The most useful and clearcut tutorial I've seen. Tried it and worked like a charm!

Very clear and easy to follow. Love the birds eye view plus the demonstration of the wheel. Great video many thanks

Oh, I remembered this method was actually what I learned and used to do in Japan. In these days I was practicing again but was influenced too much by driving videos from US and forgot the first slight turn before backing up, and I was wondering why my rear tires went too far away from the spot I aimed at.

Love it! I already passed my test but always found reverse bay park stressful. You made it sound so easy ! I think I can try it now :)

WOW! I've never heard of this method, I'll deffinetly bring it up on my next lesson. Might work out better for me this way. Also brllilliant camera shots!👌

Omg this video is by far the most helpful! I've been doing the move forward 2 lots and reverse back method for awhile, its been working for wide open space lots only. However this method works for narrow parking lots with pillars(alot of carparks in my country is like this) which i have had difficulty parking although i have had my license for 4 years already 🤣🤣 thanks alot!!

I suffered so much with the 90° method because I found it too confusing and my instructor didn't want to teach me the 45° because he said it was harder, but I found it easier. Thanks a lot for your video!! Now I easily park in reverse!!! :)

Finally I found someone who explain the 45 degrees method perfectly. Thanks a lot very helpful 😊

Finally I've found the "secret trick" my neighbors are using. Also, this is THE best video I've seen on parking, thank you from the Netherlands!
