This holds particularly true if the back seat is filled with passengers, or if your view out of the rear window is otherwise impaired. The easiest way to perform the manoeuvre is to enter the bay from an angle of 90 degrees, though some drivers favour coming in from a diagonal.īut why do we do it? Surely it’s easier to drive directly into the bay on a straight line? Probably, but the problem comes later, when you have to reverse back out, without damaging your own car, or those parking in the adjacent bays.
Reverse bay parking should be an essential component of any learner driver’s education, as it is a useful skill for every road user to have.
