Not pulling far enough past
Stop too early and the rear corner cannot swing into the bay; it heads for the neighbouring car.
How you spot it in the gameThe parking sensor shows which side the obstacle is on and beeps faster as it gets closer.
Reverse bay parking simulator
Check your mirrors, back it in.
The instructor car pulls slightly past the bay, stops, shifts to R, turns right and reverses in while watching both sides in the mirrors. In the driver camera the mirrors show the world live, and you can look over your right shoulder while reversing.

Step 1: Hazards on
Switch on your hazard lights as you get ready. Check your mirrors and surroundings.
HazardsStep 2: Pull past the bay
Check your mirrors. Drive slightly past the bay and stop, giving yourself room to swing in from behind.
D · Wheel straightStep 3: Shift to R, turn right
Once fully stopped, select R and turn the wheel right. Watch both sides in the mirrors as you reverse.
R · Full rightStep 4: Straighten and back in
When you are parallel to the lines, centre the wheel and reverse slowly. Brake inside the bay.

Key moments
Three moments decide a reverse bay park.
- 01
The pull-past distance
Drive slightly past the bay and stop. That distance creates the room the back of the car needs to swing into the space.
- 02
Stop fully, then R
Change gear only once the car has stopped. In the game too, a gear change that reverses direction waits for you to stop.
- 03
The parallel moment
When the car is parallel to the lines, centre the wheel and reverse slowly. Brake inside the bay.
Common mistakes
The game tells you where it went wrong.
Not watching the mirrors
Reversing without checking both sides is the most common way to clip the cars beside you.
How you spot it in the gameOn contact both cars turn red and your contact count lowers your score.
Centring the wheel too late
Leave the wheel on right lock after you are parallel and the car goes in at an angle.
How you spot it in the gameIf the car is not aligned the park does not complete.
Driving in nose-first
The reverse parking task requires you to enter the bay tail-first.
How you spot it in the gameDrive in forwards and the task does not complete; pull past and try again in R.
When it counts
Success criteria
- The car is fully inside the dashed bay
- The car is aligned with the lines, not at an angle
- You have stopped completely and are holding the brake, or shifted to P
- You entered the bay in reverse, tail-first
Practice plan
Four steps from easy to traffic.
Your best time is saved separately for every level, so your records show your progress.
- 1
Watch the tutorial first
Watch it in the practice lot on Easy. If you get lost, pause, step back or replay it at 2×.
- 2
Try it in the same spot
Hit “Ben deneyeyim” (let me try). Same bay, same start. The bird’s-eye camera shows your alignment most clearly.
- 3
Tighten the bay
On Medium and Hard the bay gets tighter. Stay on a level until you can park without contact.
- 4
Add traffic, race the clock
Traffic mode brings two-way traffic. Then chase your own best time with the timer.
FAQ
Reverse bay parking questions
Is this the “reverse parking” in the Turkish driving test?
No. The Turkish test’s reverse parking means reversing between cones and parking parallel to the kerb, which matches Parallel parking in the game. This page covers backing into a bay. See the Turkish driving test guide for the test rules.
Why do you pull past the bay first?
The back of the car needs room to swing into the space. Pulling slightly past and stopping creates that turning room for the reverse.
How do I use the mirrors in the game?
Switch to the driver camera. The rear-view and side mirrors show the world live; you can look left and right, and turn over your right shoulder while reversing.
How does the parking sensor work?
It detects obstacles up to 1.2 m away and shows which side they are on in a diagram around the car. The beeps get faster as you get closer and become a continuous tone under 35 cm. It goes quiet in P.
Does it count if I drive in forwards?
No. The reverse parking task requires you to enter the bay in reverse.
