Driving test  Reverse Bay Park

On the Driving test manoeuvre Reverse bay park, the key is to think to yourself “How do i actually do this?”, as to pass your driving test, you will need to be able to do this without any help

The key with this and every driving test manoeuvre is focal points.

A focal point is a definite point

So when doing the reverse bay park, the easiest way of getting a pupil to do this, is to pick the bay you want, ignore both lines of the bay (green lines)

Count 2 lines past it – (2nd red line) match it up to a point on the passenger door – Full left lock and you will end up in the bay each time
