- 45 Degree Reverse Bay Parking - How To Back Into A Parking Spot The Easy Way With Reference Points
You might choose to back into a parking space just because it's easier to exit the spot when you drive away. Or you might not have a choice because you're required to as part of a road test/driver's exam. But whatever reason you have for wanting to back into a parking spot, there are two basic methods that are used: 90 & 45 degree reverse parking. This video focuses on the 45 degree method, and I have a video on the 90 degree method as well. Which one do I normally use? Almost every time, I go with the 45 degree method, and I'll tell you why you probably should too. I'll show you how to locate reference points on your vehicle and match them up with areas of the parking space to make it easier to back in and park. I hope this helps someone, whether they're a new or an experienced driver.

Hi Stan!
I hope this message finds you safe and healthy. I just wanted to reach out to say that your driving videos are so appreciated by us new drivers out there. I have struggled so much with learning how to parallel and reverse park and watching your videos and following your advice was honestly the biggest turning point in me growing my skills and confidence. I remember the driving practice after I watched all of your parking tutorial videos my dad was completely astonished at the progress I made seemingly overnight; “you have to write that man a thank you note!” he said... and I agreed!
So, thank you! I’m happy to say that after nearly 6 years having my learners license, I was able to pass my class 7 N test on the first try today.
Thanks so much for all the effort you put in. From seeing the comments and experiencing the help myself, I know a lot of people benefit from what you’re doing.
All the best,
Abby
Thank you very much for taking the time to write to me! All the credit for your improvement goes to you for caring enough about this to watch RUclips videos and then practicing in order to get better...you put in the work. Congratulations on passing your 7 N test ...that's awesome!
Hi Stan how do you this is you have. 350 ford truck , what would be the reference point ?
Another question , how do you know that you are straight , sometimes I get lost in the moment and I keep turning the wheel both ways,
@@samsamson3623 To know if your vehicle is straight , use the car dashboard as a guide. When it "straightens" in your view , then you know your vehicle is straightened. Also for a .350 ford truck, i believe he said reference point varies for each car. Maybe the parking slot line needs to be below your side mirror , or inline with your shoulder? Try to practice and see what works for you.
This is my favorite way to park. I don't like the 123 thing, too confusing for me . Thank you!
It's my favorite way to park, too! I use it all the time...easier, and makes it less likely for someone to slip in behind you and take your spot.
Me too, this is what I am doing always
@@HowSkills I watch tons of videos and still can't get it !!! Every time I try this method my car is crooked and sometimes it be outside the lanes. It's I tried looking back but there's barely any vision.
@@Ace_boy318i have the same problem. 😭
Many thanks! Clearly showed the advantage of 45° reverse parking. The instructions how to adjust own car are simple and understandable. You are gifted with teaching talent. Keep going with your helpful videos. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you very much for the kind comment, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video.
I find your videos to be the best for what I seen so far. Your instructions are very clear and you even show outside of the car view how things look and finding a reference point to line up your car. I find that very helpful. 👍👍👍
I'm glad to hear the videos have been of some help to you. Thank you for the comment and for watching!
Much easier than the 1-2-3 thing we get taught here in the Netherlands, just got my license and appreciate this video a lot :)
thanks for the video. i've had my license for a while now but haven't drove as of lately - we've gotten a new vehicle in the household (a very long van) compared to a small car i normally drove with. so it's definitely been scaring me to try reverse parking on something so much bigger, but this was a great reminder - especially ensuring to lock the wheel on both parts of the turn to adjust yourself. thanks :)
You're welcome. It's definitely more of a challenge to park a bigger vehicle, but take it slow and apply the same general principles, and you'll be okay!
This is my way of reversing, quick and easy, You are the best sir! All the best !
I can’t wait to test this method tomorrow.
Great content 👏👏👏 now I have confidence to drive and park easily when needed. Thanks!!
Great to hear that, and thank you very much for watching the video!
Good job
could repeat this video with parking lot full with cars
U r a blessing for new drivers 👍👍
Thank you. I appreciate your taking the time to watch.
Thank you so much for sharing this, I passed the test only by watching this. Thank you
Mary, I’m really glad to hear you passed the test…you’re awesome!
Guess what. Now I do it perfectly every time. Thank you Sir!
Glad to hear that...that was all you and the practice you put into learning this!
Good job !!!
Superb tips and nice steering view camera angle👏👏✅👍 keep going 🙏
Thanks.
I’m going to practice this. I have a driveway in a urban city that shared with the my block and the block in front of me. The space is tight so reverse parking is easier to see when trying to get out the spot
This is so helpful and easy to follow. Do you have a video on pulling into a parking space on the right or how to do a 3 point turn?
Great ideas! I don't have those currently but I'll be working on them in the future. And thank you for watching!
My dad says he does something similar to your technique. You explained the method better than my own dad haha.
Thanks a lot for watching, and shoutout to dads teaching their kids to drive!
Just started subscribed since I'm going to driving test the end of next month
Thanks for subscribing, and I wish you the best of luck on your test! It's a good sign that you're taking the time to watch videos on driving...I'm sure you'll do well!
thanks for sharing. it helped
Glad it helped, and thank you for watching!
This only worked for me in a flat parking lot. I tried it in a parking lot that has a really hilly/curved ground and I kept going way over the line.
Thank.ubig help..god bless
Happy to help...thanks for watching!
Wish I knew this technique before I failed my road test. My examiner told me he hates the 123 method and said to swear at my instructor for teaching this method. Super apologetic about having to fail me.
Much better suited for more parking scenarios, the 123 method is tough in a busy parking lot, or if there's any sort of angle.
Great video.
Thank you...I hope it helped!
Bout to try this 😜🤞🏼
Good luck…you can do it!
hi..good video!Can you also add getting out of the parking tutorial
Best method 💯
Yes, I agree that 45 degree reverse parking is the best method, and this is how I normally park whenever I can. Thank you for watching!
It sucks for me when I tend to have a lot of groceries I just bought and the trunk is harder to get in.
Sooooo nice please make video to change lane in traffic how to understand mirrors how to understand how far is car behind
Fantastic
Thank you, and I hope it helped.
Stan. I fucking love you. I went out driving after watching this and realized how easy this shit is. If I ought to kiss you on your forehead. Thanks dad
Haha! Glad I could help, but it probably has more to do with you than me...you’re just good at it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
Been licensed for 2 years and never really got to practice this bcuz my parents never really took me out when i got my permit but i got my car now so i can definitely practice this and stop being an amateur
4:13 I find that backing out of a parking space is easier than backing into one.
Is there a way I can see my parking spot when im getting into the 45 angle as shown at 1:33? I cant seem to tell and I dont know if its a easy error I can fix.
Can you meak a video about parallel park
Don't mind me, im just binging this and the other videos you made about driving
Well, then I thank you for doing that, and I hope some of them help!
Hello good sir Stan, do you by chance still use the SAE adjustment method for side view mirrors?
Hello TryZen, and yes, I certainly do still use the SAE method, and it has worked well for me.
@@HowSkills Thank you for responding sir, I have been using it this week, and it’s been a little weird to me, but now I’m getting used to it and it’s life changing. Only downside when reversing and trying to see where your car is/where it’s going, you have to lean a good bit more haha.
when we drive next to the vehicles that are already parked in the bays on the same side as our parking spot. Should we maintain some distance b/w our car and those cars before we swing out; to avoid hitting them?
I normally make sure I’m about three feet out from the other vehicles before I swing out.
Thank u very much sir easily understood please give us more easier lessons in 3 r 4 easiest steps by showing g refer points with arrow mark as accent is a bit difficult and information about parallel parking please happy diwali from indians
Thank you for the comment, and you gave me some very good advice!
I do not know why is so difficult for me to understand. Basically I can never be correct at the line. I go parallel to one line and I either step to the other line or the other line is between the tires of my car. What I can not get?
Hey great vid. Can I use this during my drivers test ?
You should be able to. If they ask you to back into a parking space, they normally leave how you do that up to you. They’ll be watching to see that you check your mirrors and look over your shoulder as you back, and you should also use your signal to indicate which side you will be backing towards.
@@HowSkills Hey Stan, I have a question. Let's say I have a road test soon (which I actually do by the way), in an actual situation in a parking lot during the road test, how would you signal properly to let others know your true intention when doing this 45° reverse stall parking? I was told that I should signal left when making the 45° angle (which makes sense) but the more I think about it, hypothetically if there was a car behind me and saw me signal to the left without knowing that I'm about to park, wouldn't they just assume that I'm trying to forward park into the left and follow close? With the 90° parking it makes sense. You signal to the right and you should have your car in reverse gear, so people following you should immediately know that you're about to reverse in a parking spot and leave you enough space, but yeah, the 45° angle is confusing me a bit here.
As you’re approaching the parking spot you’ve picked out, you should turn on the signal that would point to the side that your parking spot is on. If you’re moving down a row and see a spot on the right, signal to the right. This is true whether you then back into it from a 45 or 90 degree angle. Even at a 45 degree angle, the right turn signal will still be pointing to the side you intend to park on. It is confusing, and maybe that’s why in the real world, I rarely see anyone signal in a parking lot. But it’s a good practice and should be done.
@@HowSkills Okay, so it's fine if the signal cancels when I'm making the 45° angle because I'm turning to the left and signalling to the right?
Yes, that’s not a problem. The main thing the turn signal is doing in this case is letting someone following behind you or coming at you know which side of the parking lane you intend to park on. Once you’ve signaled that information, then it’s okay if your signal cancels while you’re in the process of backing.
I need to work on this method
You can do it! It's all about practicing.
Can I adjust my rear mirror to see the lines during road test?
Normally you would adjust your mirrors at the start of the road test, and position them in such a way so that they'd give you the most help under normal driving conditions, and also so the driving examiner can check off that you did it. Most examiners probably wouldn't allow you to readjust your mirrors later on just for backing, but you could ask them if they would allow it.
Hi Sir,
So while you are turning left at first, is there any reference point that you could help me with, I always get confused as to when you stop while turning full left and mess up the rest
Try this and see if it helps: before you begin turning left and while your vehicle is still pointed straight ahead, look at the front left roof pillar/support (called the "A pillar") while sitting in your normal driving position. That pillar is usually roughly at a 45 degree angle to the driver. Look for a landmark (a tree, a pole, another vehicle, etc.) that is located approximately directly out from/behind that pillar. Let's say it's a tree. Turn your wheel all the way to the right and start backing up. When your car is pointing directly straight at the tree, you should be roughly at a 45 degree angle. Try this and see if that gets you closer to the angle you want to be at for backing. If you have the time, let me know how it went!
@@HowSkills thank you Sir, will let you know how it went
Hi, does every car have different reference points? In my instructors car, my reference point was just a little past the right side mirror but that same reference point didn’t work in my husbands car and I kept getting it wrong.
It can definitely vary, due to different lengths and sizes of vehicles and how your seat is adjusted. For best results, experiment with different reference points to see what works best with your husband’s car. If his car is bigger than what your instructor’s was, then you might try a reference point that will have you starting your turn sooner. And if his is a smaller vehicle that’s able to turn sharper, then the reference point will likely be one that has you starting your turn later.
@@HowSkills thank you. I’ll try that
what if my car was a bit shorter than this car. I think the reference point is a little different. I have a Nissan car?
Hello! Im quite bad at parking and hopefully this video helps me to park my car properly! Can I request a tutorial of side/parallel parking? 😔🥺
Thanks for the idea! I'm sure that if you keep practicing you will become very good at backing. It takes practice, time, and just believing you can do it. I believe you can do it!
@@HowSkills i legit cried reading your reply 😭 thank you Sir!! Ill try my best to learn and yeah you just got a new subscriber 😆 looking forward for your parallel parking video! Again, thank you Sir and have a nice day 🌤
It's so ironic I used the same car brand that helped me pass my test yesterday.
Haha...that's pretty cool!
is there any way to know when u have reached the 45 degree angle
Before I start to turn my car to get it set to a 45 degree angle, and while I'm basically sideways to my parking spot, I mentally picture my car being the bottom, horizontal part of a 90 degree angle; and also that there is an invisible line coming out from the middle of the parking spot that is the vertical line of the right angle, similar looking to this capital letter "L". Then I turn my vehicle out away from the parking spot until I'm turned pointed halfway between those two lines of the "L". When you've split that angle in half with your car, that puts you at 45 degrees. I know that is a little inexact, and I'm sure there's a better way to arrive at this. I'd appreciate anyone else leaving an answer to this question.
HELLO COULD WE GET HOW TO REVERSE PARK
ONLY BY LOOKING AT THE REARVIEW MIRROR
NOT SIDE MIRROR LEFT OR RIGHT OR BEHIND U AT ALL
ONLY ONLY THE REARVIEW MIRROR
WITH LEFT HAND ON THE STERRING WHEEL
AND UR RIGHT HAND ON BEHIND RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT HEAD
THE REASON I REQUEST THIS IS BEACUSE I HEARD IT VERY VERY DIFFICULT THING TO DO
BUT I WANT TO LEARN IT PLEASE
That’s a good idea! Thank you for the suggestion, and I will do one on that in the future. Take care.
@@HowSkills thank you sir lookong forward to this
@@HowSkills sir iv been waiting for my reqest please sir will u do a vid and upload it soon
Hii is it ok in test if we use 45° parking instead of using 90°
It is normally up to you what method you use, but every examiner is different, and I would ask them if it's okay with them before you start the test.
@@HowSkills ok thanks happy new year
Same to you…hope your 2022 is awesome!
is it me or do these bays look much bigger than the UK ones. XD
Why is it that none of the videos teach you HOW to tell if you're at 45 degrees? What should I see in my sideview mirror when I'm at 45 degrees.
How can i know if im 45 deg angle already?
It's not an exact measurement, but try to visualize it in relation to the parking spot. Say you want to back into a spot that's on the right side of your vehicle. Picture a right angle sitting on the open end of that parking spot, and opening out to the right, like this capital "L". As you approach your spot, your vehicle starts out parallel to the horizontal bottom of that "L", and as you turn to the left to get into the correct position, your vehicle turns closer to the straight up/vertical part of the "L". A 45 degree angle will be formed when your car is pointed halfway between the two lines of the "L". So when it seems to you that you're turned halfway between the invisible horizontal and vertical lines of the "L", that's the angle you need. It's not perfect, but it gets easier with practice. And if someone has a simpler/better explanation of how to judge this, PLEASE comment and help Red Licorice out!
1:02 I didn't get this part.
Could you please elaborate?
I'm pulling forward until the nearest line of my parking spot lines up in that lower right-hand corner of the passenger window. I'm calling it the "nearest line" or "first line" because it's the first line (of the two lines bordering my parking spot) that I'll get to as I'm backing towards the spot to park in it. It becomes the nearest line once I drive past the parking spot to begin my backing maneuver. Hope I didn't just make it more complicated!
@@HowSkills
Gotcha, Thanks!
But what If there's a vehicle parked on the opposite side of my parking spot? My anxiety is already kicking in that I might hit the vehicle in front of me or any of the other vehicles next to me. Haha Kinda overwhelming!
I always wondered why bother doing 90 degrees???
Exactly! I much prefer using 45 degree reverse parking whenever I can...easier and quicker.
@@HowSkills Agreed. Thanks for the video, sir
Do people really struggle, driving in america,
it seems first of all I should take math classes .
Haha! Math isn’t everything, and after some practice, you’ll get the feel for the right angle you’ll need turn to in order to back in correctly.
Looks like your guage clusters about to shit the bed
