I passed my driving test today, October 12th. Thank you so much for this video. I don't have enough time to practice it on actual because I just saw your video few days ago & We don't have our own cones. So, I just kept on watching your videos and it helped me a lot to have my driver's license. 😘
I used The Next Street for my driving school when I was 17. Now revisiting it at 22 because I haven't had to parallel park in a looong time! Thanks for posting!
I can say this is one of the best tutorials on parallel parking. The reference point (at 1:27) for determining 45 degree angle to straighten the wheel is different from the one used by ParkingTutorial channel, but both are equivalent and accurate.
This is the best description/ guidance video to learn parallel park small to medium size cars. The process has been split into logically different parts of the exercise. Thanks
personally the trick that I use that I back up slowly until the right bumber of the car behind me get hidden so I turn the wheel to the opposite side and it's done..
You should avoid it as much as you can. It puts a bit of unnecessary wear on your steering mechanism and a lot of unnecessary wear on your tires. If you do it once or twice, or during a lesson or test, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just don't make a habit of it.
I can't help but notice that all of these guides are in cars and for cars, some people drive larger vehicles, My first vehicle happens to be full-sized SUV that's 19' long, a friends is a full-sized truck, these instructions don't really apply to vehicles that large.
All of those videos work for trucks as well. I use the side mirror as a starting point in a car. I align my side mirror with the car's side mirror. If i'm in a truck, i will move a bit more forward, but when i'm in a smaller car, i will start a bit behind it. It always works.
