There's lots of hazards in car parks including pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers.ĭrive past the target bay slightly and get the car straight. Before that, check your mirrors and over your left shoulder first in case there's someone going past you.Īs with all potentially tricky manoeuvres it's important to drive slowly to make it easier and safer. In this example I'm parking in the bay marked with a white arrow.ĭriving over to the left towards the bay will make it easier to then turn and reverse into it. There's not much room for error when parking in between cars but on your driving test you'll probably do this with empty bays either side.
