If I had this from lesson 1 i would be a street racer by now. This crucial info is stuff we naturally realise over time anyway, but its very convenient to become aware of a car’s spatial sense from Day 1.
ORVM's??? You're really leaving it to the viewer to figure this out? How much longer does it take to actually say "Outside Rear View Mirrors" instead of leaving it to be deciphered?
IF there's a wall or car in front of you: switch on the lights and you can easily see in de reflection how close by you are. The easiest method I've use for 45+ years now. It may be a well known trick, though I must have discovered it by (not an) 🦍accident
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your suggestion and will definitely consider providing definitions for abbreviations in future presentations or videos to enhance clarity.
*Car Spatial Reference Markers* Issue 1 - The Method of Judging Precisely the Distance from the Front of the Car to a Horizontal Line in Front of the Car. Park exactly (a few cm) before the line. Scan the alignment of the Line along the ORVM. Memorise the position. Issue 2 - The Method of Judging Precisely the distance between the Rear and a horizontal Line behind the car. Park exactly on the line, scan the position of the line along the ORVM, memorise position. Vertical Line Spatial Judgement: Issue 3 - Method of Perfect Positioning along a Left Vertical Line Park along the Left Vertical Line. The Method of the Wheel. If road markings look Tangent to the wheel, the wheels of the car are exactly on the markings. Issue 4 - The Method of Knowing when the Car is on a Right vertical line. (Dashboard reference mark)
Is this even real? Judging position by the steering wheel edges!! What if I have it lowered below the top of dash? Or at what level am I supposed to have it - my steering is adjustable after all, so it the seat height.
Here is another tip for your query: If you are from India, you'll notice that many roads have reflector lights along the edges, which are slightly bumpy. While driving slowly, run the car wheel over these reflector lights and keep your steering steady. You will feel the bumps inside the car through the tires; now check the alignment of the road lines with the sides of the steering wheel. Repeat this for the other side. Now you'll understand. (This may not work for public transport vehicle) Regarding your other question: Make sure to adjust the seat height and steering wheel to a comfortable position before making any marks. Do not rely on these marks all the time, as mentioned in the video. Once your brain becomes familiar with the marks and surroundings, you won't need the marks anymore.
Stopping in the middle of the highway sounds like a great idea-if you're trying to win the "Most Dangerous Stunt of the Year" award. Maybe stick to a parking lot next time. 😁
