On the driving test
You may be asked to drive forward into a bay and reverse out, or reverse into a bay and drive out. The examiner will tell you which to do. This usually takes place at the test centre car park.
Reverse Bay Park — Step by Step
1
Pick your bay
The examiner will tell you to park in a bay. Choose one with empty bays on either side if possible.
2
Position your car
Drive past the bay and stop when the bay is roughly level with your rear wheels. Position about 1.5 metres out from the bays.
3
Check all around
Check all mirrors and blind spots before reversing. Look behind over your left shoulder.
4
Steer into the bay
Reverse slowly, steering full lock towards the bay. Keep checking all around.
5
Straighten up
As your car enters the bay, straighten the wheel to end up centred and straight.
6
Adjust if needed
You're allowed to pull forward and readjust once. Use mirrors to check your position between the lines.
