Today, I went to the Makro car park again to practice my turn in the road and bay parking manoeuvres. This was the first time I did bay parking!
I pulled this off with my mum’s supervision (in her car) 
I drove around for a while hitting 25mph around the car park then I positioned myself at the far end of the car park ready to do the turn in the road. There were plenty of cones around because learners go there all the time to practice this so there were cones everywhere. I moved some to try and simulate the road scenario
My mums clutch is quite stiff so the fact I managed to pull this manoeuvre off first time stalling once is remarkable. I did this again and managed to execute it successfully coming close to the kerbs though!
Bay parking was to prove more difficult then this but I managed to pull this off by placing a marker cone behind the bay I was reversing into. My mum gave me instruction on this. I manage to park in it perfectly. No wheels over the lines.
I enjoyed it this week but prefer just driving then having to get all these stupid manoeuvres correct. More to come on my driving soon

Good feeling getting your manoeuvres right. I remember learning them, I found the turn in the road easy to do, but that difficulty with the bay park.
