Preparing for the UK driving test parking manoeuvre? Our reverse bay parking simulator gives you hands-on reverse bay parking practice online. Learn key reference points, steering angles, and vehicle alignment with real-time coaching prompts before you get behind the wheel.
Built around the exact skills driving examiners grade you on.
Learn reverse bay parking reference points in real time. Know exactly when to start turning, when to straighten, and when to stop.
See your car's position relative to the bay lines in real time, making reverse parking practice highly visual and intuitive.
Count every line crossing and boundary contact, building precision for your driving test parking manoeuvre.
Control the simulator using your preferred device. Fully supports standard keyboard inputs, touchscreen overlays, and gamepads.
Three steps from approach to parked.
The simulator positions you alongside the target bay. Align your mirror with the reference point and prepare to reverse.
Real-time prompts guide your steering angle, tell you when to straighten, and alert you to line proximity.
Repeat until you're centered in the bay with no line crossings. Track your time and corrections each attempt.
Learn the 45-degree angle technique and 90-degree reference method for driving tests.
Reversing into a parking bay (commonly known as perpendicular or bay parking) is a core component of driver licensing examinations worldwide. Reversing into a space is significantly safer than driving in head-first because it provides maximum visibility when pulling out into traffic later.
During a driving test, the examiner assesses whether you finish cleanly within the bay lines without crossing over neighboring bays, whether you maintain effective 360-degree observations throughout the maneuver, and whether you control your speed with clutch balance or smooth accelerator input.
Drive past the target bay, stop when your side mirror aligns with the bay's boundary line, then reverse while turning the steering wheel fully toward the bay. Watch your mirrors to straighten once the car is aligned with the bay lines, then reverse slowly until fully inside. Our simulator coaches you through each step.
Key reference points include your side mirror aligned with the bay boundary line (start point), the bay corner visible in your wing mirror (when to straighten), and the rear bay line in your back window (when to stop). The simulator highlights these in real time.
Once you see the far bay line appear in your wing mirror, begin straightening the wheel. Check both mirrors to ensure equal spacing on each side. If the car is angled, make small corrections before fully entering the bay.
