Parking Techniques

Here Neil Beeson, a professional driving instructor explains correct parking techniques:

Bay parking:
Drive across the front of your parking space. Steer away from the space to create an angle for reversing in.Reverse slowly into the space.·Keep checking both door mirrors to ensure you have sufficient space either side of your vehicle·Once in the space shunt backwards and forwards as necessary to ensure you park pretty (square and central in bay)

On street parking:
Pull up alongside the vehicle in front of your parking space. Reverse slowly until the back of your car is level with the end of the vehicle alongside you. Turn in to the space, keeping your speed low. When you think you are close enough to the kerb steer the opposite way to bring the front of your car in to the space, keeping your speed low. Shunt as necessary and park pretty.
