Reverse Parking



 
Drive forward and stop parallel and not more than one metre away from the blue car. Select reverse gear.
Look to check it's O.K. to move off. Drive back very slowly and watch for the corner of the blue car appearing in the side window.
When you can see the corner of the blue car, turn the wheel to the left one full turn. Check the road ahead and the road behind over your right shoulder. If it's safe, continue reversing until the front of the car alines with the back of the blue car. Turn the wheel fully to the right, watching you clear the blue car. The car will begin to swing in towards the kerb.
Here you will be close to the kerb and the blue car. Still move the car very
slowly and take off some of the right lock so that the front of your car does
not swing in too far. Check your distance from the kerb and from the blue car.
Keep your car within two car lengths from the blue car.
Here you should be close to the kerb. If you need to correct your position you are allowed to move forward and backwards to get it right. But too much will be frowned upon by the Examiner. If you are not in the middle of the road and not on the kerb you should be O.K.
