Practice parallel parking online, the way it's assessed on the UK driving test. The car drives the textbook reverse park — you make every decision: gap choice, observations, and steering-lock timing.
Launch Simulator FreeFocus on decisions, not pedals. Your car drives the textbook manoeuvre automatically.
Choose the gap, signal, check all round, and time each steering lock. Every choice is scored.
See which decisions were right, with DVSA assessment notes and Highway Code references.
Pick a gap about two car lengths long, signal left, and stop parallel to the car in front of the space with your rear bumpers level, about a metre out. Make a full all-round check, reverse until your rear wheels are level with their rear bumper, then steer full left lock. At about 45° to the kerb take the lock off, and once your front clears the parked car steer full right lock to bring the nose in. Straighten up and stop reasonably close to the kerb.
Aim for about 30cm. The examiner expects you to park reasonably close to the kerb — finishing well over 50cm out can be marked as a fault, while touching the kerb gently is usually a minor and mounting it is a serious fault.
Yes. The reverse park (road) is one of the four possible manoeuvres, so there's roughly a one-in-four chance you'll be asked to do it. It's assessed on control, observation, and accuracy, completed within about two car lengths.
