​Mastering Reverse Parking

Reverse parking is an essential skill in urban areas where parking spaces are at a premium. Here's a quick guide:

1. Position your car parallel to the space, about a meter away from the parked cars.
2. Reverse slowly until your rear wheels are in line with the rear bumper of the car you're parking behind.
3. Turn the steering wheel fully towards the curb and reverse slowly.
4. Straighten your wheels when you're at a 45-degree angle to the curb.
5. Reverse slowly, turning the wheel away from the curb to straighten your car into the space
   
   

Our instructors at Pass Mee will help you perfect this technique, ensuring you can park confidently in even the tightest spaces

West London's roundabouts can be intimidating, but with the right approach, they're manageable:

• Give Way to the Right: Remember, traffic already on the roundabout has priority.
• Stay in Your Lane: Maintain your lane position until you're ready to exit.
• Signal Clearly: Always indicate when leaving the roundabout.

Our lessons include practical experience with various types of roundabouts, from mini-roundabouts to multi-lane systems in West London areas.
