@Andriej69 2 года назад

This comment should be pinned, one of the first things I learned to do as a driver, shame that this method isn't as good for the rear, especially in daylight

@sairamt.n.3649 2 года назад

I use the high beam method all the time in my garage where there ae no reference points and only white walls all around. When the light switches from diffused to focused, I stop. This leaves enough space to park my motorbike behind the car and close the shutters.

@cloudgazer4570 4 года назад

My method: get a big cardboard box, like that of a big flat tv. Put it on the ground standing high. (It should be empty) Then start to get close with the car very slowly. The goal is to actually hit the box, and since it's cardboard, you can do that as many times as you want. When you actually knock it over and do it a few times you will start to judge the dimensions of your car much more easily. You will instinctively be able to judge much better what is the maximum limit by a certain parking manoeuvre you can push it to.

@forresten 4 года назад

Look for a big, empty space - supermarket parking or such. Grab a few 1.5 liter PET bottles, place them in front of the wheels, or better yet, have someone place them. The key here is the opportunity to feel where the wheels are - the bottles being squished will provide feedback. Now that you got a glimpse where the wheels are, you only need a bit of imagination to place the chassis around it (bumpers, fender flares ..) .. I think this works as well.

@ConquerDriving 4 года назад

That would work. Parking sensors are easier though as you don't need to carry a big cardboard box in your car for lessons.

@rga7482 4 года назад

Dear Richard, I am currently a learning driver in Russia, and I can't express well enough how useful your videos are (despite the UK driving on the left, and quite a bit of differences between British and Russian traffic regulations). The way you present the content is very clear, thoughtful, and entertaining. I have to admit that driving schools in Russia provide only very limited knowledge barely enough to pass the (not very hard) driving test, which apparently is not really enough to be able to drive decently. Your channel provides lots of useful insights, and it is definitely one of the best sources of information on how to drive. I have recommended a number of my English-speaking friends who are also struggling with their driving lessons to sign up for your content as well. Thanks a lot, and keep up the great work!

This how I learn to judge the front of my car, at my home car park/garage, I drive near the wall, get out and have a look, there a still some space, so I drive forward a bit, get out and look again. I repeat this until it is closer enough and remember what it's look like in the car, next time it would be easier for me to know how close I am with object in front of my car.. 📝 and after watching your video, it makes to learning process easier and quicker. Thanks and good day ahead, sir. ✌️

@ConquerDriving 4 года назад

Thank you. I'm happy to hear you use the same method as me.

@forresten 4 года назад

The crucial element here is precision. Take your time, get out, see for yourself. Do not be embarrassed by not taking risks. There may come a time when you will need to rely on all of your expertise to get out of a sticky situation - keeping cool and being careful definitely pays off. Also, some older vehicles may present their bonnet when behind the wheel - use it to cheat! Learn to crawl and snuggle .. It is a life- and time-saver to see the front of the car, especially if you can deal with it! This may become a very nice skill to have in a crowded, urban surrounding, where carelessness might not end at your car getting a ding exclusively.

@ConquerDriving 4 года назад

Very true.

@ruthless5533 Год назад

(New Driver Here) - I don't get out and have a look while manoeuvring.. but every time I complete a manoeuvre and get out, I always have a look at the gap on my way to the shop/house wherever I've drove to. It's really helped to grow my confidence, had my car around 5 month

@funkycoldm3dina 2 года назад

Hi. The one reference point that saves me every time and I have used it several times in different cars is how to keep within the lane i.e. lane discipline. It is the bar code on the windscreen on the bottom right side. When the barcode is just overlapping the lane markings, you will be in the lane on the right and the left side of the car. That little reference point has helped me out no end on roundabouts. Hope that helps.

@katiebyard3896 Год назад

Holy cow. Im day 3 of owning a new car and although im more relaxed and confident than what I was 2 days ago. I still have a fair way to go before i can judge it better. I've been getting in and out my car so much and although i have a reversing camera I'm trying not to use it. I still find using my wing mirrors easier. I'm the type where the technology comes in handy, yes but nothing beats good old fashioned trusting your mirrors. You have made me feel so much better about myself and the way I've been doing things so thank you so much for that. I felt like a right idiot getting in and out of my car to check but you have validated my method and made me feel good about myself. This whole video was very informative and supportive :)

When I was training I never used reference points, I just kept on going until I felt comfortable. I usually park closely, about 30-50cm from the front object. And I've been doing that from day 1 until today. It hasn't changed much. I've always been bad at knowing angles though so most of my practice has been on that.

@grandmushroom7821 5 дней назад

Something that really helped with reversing is to buy those small round mirrors that you can put on your wing mirrors. They let you see your tires, the line/curb and the car behind you It’s very easy to tell the distance without having to tilt your actual wing mirrors up and down all the time and they’re really cheap. I just have a problem with judging the distance in front of my car where I can’t tell if I’m going to hit a car or a wall in front of me when I’m making a tilt turn, especially when trying to park.

One useful tips is to use headlights or taillights to judge the distance. When the headlights shine on a car or wall, the closer it is, the bright band more focused the lighs will be. Or just lean forward and you should be able to see the distance in front of your car.

If you imagine a straight line going out of the oncoming object in front of you, and it "goes into" the left bottom corner of the windshield, you will be at a safe side distance from it (same goes for lines on the road, even easier with them because they actually visibly "go into" the bottom part of your windshield) So everything closer than that corner MIGHT be too close, especially if you have a superwide car, and everything further away is perfectly safe. Of course dont stare too long, just a quick glance if youre not sure, hope i explained it good enough. That is if youre driving on the right side of the road though For the left side drivers (UK) your point of reference is the bottom middle of windshield somewhere above your radio for instance

Parking sensors are cheap to buy and not too difficult to fit. Most cars these days have the rear ones fitted already so buy one set to put at the front. This solves all of those problems at least until you get use to the size of your car. The only problem with using sensors is that you don`t really get used to the size and just rely on the sensors but it is better to be safe than sorry. Great instructional video by the way.

Thank you so much for all the information and driving tips as i have only just recently passed my driving test and even though i have ridden various motorcycles on my full licence for over 40 years it is a different experience altogether driving a car as there are quite a few things that you don't need to do when riding a motorcycle like reversing and having to judge the distance between two cars as it's much easier on a motorcycle as you are sat exactly in the middle unlike in a car when you sit on the right hand side of the car but hopefully time and practice will make me a better driver as i do worry when i am out on the road because some drivers act irrationally when out on the road and some drivers will intentionally cut you up just so they can get in front of you.

My top tip that wasn't mentioned is reflections, especially in the evening with headlights on it's really easy to see your own car reflected in the paintwork of other cars. It's a pain in the arse to keep getting out and having a look, so when I get a new car I only have a look after all the parking is finished and I'm walking away from the car anyway, then for next time I know how much closer I can go. Parking up to a bush or plastic bollard also works well when you're still getting your feel in, as it's not the end of the world if you tap it. For information I never use reference points, only experience and judgement. That said parking sensors are handy if you have them.

My car doesn't have any parking sensors but my driving instructor's car had them. When I first got my car, I used to get my wife to stand outside and direct me 😁

Use hot melt glue, putting flagpole sticks on the for corners of the car. Make these sticks high enough for the driver to see. On usual car parking spots, add self adhesive wall mirrors which show the driver the distance to they are close to the best parking position. Use shop or building windows as mirrors, to show your vehicle distance to the obstruction. Turn on the headlights, watching the lighting and shadows which indicate the distance. Watch any reflections of other car surfaces, or glass windows of cars our buildings. Ask any outside to indicate with outstretched arms, how much distance is between the vehicle and the obstacles.

I had 2 Vauxhall Corsas one after the other, both the 2 door model, and they've stopped making them. I've now got a Ford Fiesta with 4 doors, oh God you should see me with it! Especially at the petrol station, I have this horrible image of me crashing it into the pump and it going up in a huge ball of fire! But thanks a lot for this video, it's given me some ideas.

The reference point also changes depending on if you're facing uphill, downhill and the height of the other car. Personally I don't really use a reference point. I mostly go by feel, but if I step outside the car and notice I can get closer or need to get further away, I'll step back into the car to readjust. Might not be the 'best' method, but it works for me to learn it. I can park into pretty tight parking spaces these days because I keep trying to improve, unlike most people I know who don't really seem to care about learning how to drive better once they get their driver's license.

Getting out and looking is the best way to learn. Cameras and sensors also help you learn.

@thenonexistinghero 3 года назад

@@ConquerDriving I do have a back sensor for my own car (but I also drive other cars). No cameras though, don't have that kind of money haha. But I haven't hit anything yet and it's been over a year since I've gotten it, so it should be fine to continue like that.

@ev4d241 Год назад

my biggest problem has always been consistency. Since i started learning to drive, i have been having this problem with judging distance. Even now since 1 year after i got my license, i still struggle with this. For a good 3 to 4 months, i managed to get more confident and better judgement but then recently i hit the curb again and now im bad at judging again. I dont know how am i ever gonna overcome this problem...

@makerepairbin 2 года назад

Good video it all comes with experience with what car you have. I have driven all sorts of cars in my job and I say take care in a new car to you until you get used to it.

@ConquerDriving 2 года назад

Good advice, I always take it easy in a car unfamiliar with.

My mother-in-law would always stop at the first beep. Also she would tell you that you absolutely must stop because "it's beeping already". Every time I have to tell her to go take a look at how far we actually are.
