Parking is one of the most important practical driving skills, yet can also be a challenge for some drivers.
Whether you are learning to drive at the moment, or you are looking to improve your accuracy, knowing the correct techniques can help to make a big difference.
This guide covers parallel parking, forward bay parking, and reverse bay parking.
Along with some safety rules, common mistakes, and easy steps to help you park with confidence.
Types Of Car Parking
Most driving situations involve three main parking methods:
- Parallel parking (often done at the side of the road)
- Forward bay parking (when you drive into a space)
- Reverse bay parking (when you reverse into a space)
Crucually, each of these methods requires different understanding of your vehicle’s positioning and the required steering techniques.
One thing they all have in common though is the need for good observations, a slow approach and accurate judgement.
