Parallel parking is not something you'll just be doing when learning to drive and getting prepared for the driving test but in every day life afterwards. In this video we'll be having a look at the most common driving test mistakes people make when reverse parking/parallel parking. Driving test faults include: reverse parking too far from the kerb, mounting the kerb, parallel parking further back than the required two car lengths and not observing whilst carrying out this exercise.
