Bay parking lessons in East Kilbride
Bay parking is the easiest of the three test manoeuvres if you have reliable reference points. We drill both forward bay (drive in, reverse out) and reverse bay (reverse in, drive out) in the kind of car parks Hamilton (used for EK pupils) examiners actually use.

What we focus on for bay parking in East Kilbride
Forward bay is easier on the way in but trickier on the way out — the reverse out is where most marks are lost, because pupils relax once 'parked' and forget to do a 6-point observation.
Because EK pupils test at Hamilton, lessons split between EK roundabout drilling and Hamilton route familiarisation. Expect the last 4–6 hours of an intensive course to focus exclusively on Hamilton routes.
Who this is for: Pupils preparing for Hamilton (used for EK pupils) test, post-test drivers wanting tidy parking, refresher returners.
