Bay parking lessons in Falkirk

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 Grangemouth DVSA Test Centre examiners actually use.

Recovery — straightening after a misaligned first attempt

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.

Grangemouth examiners reuse a small set of routes — most include the Inchyra estate, a section of the A904 and the dock-road industrial stretch.

Who this is for: Pupils preparing for Grangemouth DVSA Test Centre test, post-test drivers wanting tidy parking, refresher returners.
