There are several techniques that can be used for teaching the bay parking manoeuvre, we have found that this technique is one of the easiest.

Reference points are essentially ‘markers’ that are used throughout the manoeuvre. The bay parking manoeuvre can be difficult, so to make all manoeuvres as easy as possible, it’s important to use reference points. An alternative manoeuvre for the new driving test is forward parking into a bay and reversing out, in which there is a separate tutorial.
