As a cost saving tip: don't turn your steering wheel when standing still. Only do so when the car is rolling. This saves tremendously on wear and tear of your front wheel tires. This does mean that you'll have to stop a little bit more forward than shown in this video though - about 1 meter (3 ft) further to be precise. Shift into reverse, start rolling and as soon as the car rolls backwards, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. You'll roll into the correct spot effortlessly. The extra length added to the stopping point compensates for the fact that you'll roll a bit backwards before steering, so the result is the same.
@@lilianetv1482 Put the car into reverse and release the clutch slowly until the biting point*. You'll notice the car will start to roll backwards without you applying gas. This only works on flat (level) surfaces though - if you're revsering up a hill, you'll need to apply a bit of gas too. *with 'biting point' I mean the point where you feel the gears engaging while you slowly release the clutch. Usually about half way up.
It has been researched and proven that dry steering is mostly a myth. Yes, it causes a very slight amount of wear on your tires but it is so little that unless you are dry steering your car all day every day, it will not have any significant impact on your car's tire life. The main concern that you should have with dry steering is too much pressure on the electric/hydraulic power steering system. That will get messed up if you dry steer too much in a short amount of time.
This is how they teach me in school driving in Australia. My teacher said I should not block other way. I got many compliments since. I just did it in once without any correction.
I've been driving a hatch back car and I dont have issue with reverse parking like in your video. But now, I'm driving a sedan car, It took me multiple attempts to succeed. I will try your method tomorrow.
Playing a driving game with a top-down view like this is actually a very good way to understand what you're trying to do in real life driving situations. It's like zooming out and seeing the forest for the trees.
The animation shows something different than the instruction at the bottom. According to the instruction you should turn all the way to the right before reversing, but in the animation the turning circle is decreasing while reversing 🤷🏼♂️ Also, the point where you have to stop before reversing is different for every car. It depends on the length of the car and the turning circle
but what do i do when an other drive drives in to my reversing zone and he's on his phone and doesn/t honk his warning while i/m reversing and SGI sides with even if he is supposed to yield to the right
Yes you are right, before reversing you should check the side mirrors and make sure there are no vehicles coming from behind and reverse safely to do so. Note that vehicles traveling straight ahead have the right of way.
extremely helpful female bus driver on our return I fractured my femur while on holiday, limiting my mobility. She lowered the step onto the bus. She then took our cases and left them at key collection so that my husband could collect our car. I am grateful to the EZYbook team, particularly Diana.
When i attempted this, it was a fail. But when I did this unknowingly (i was in a hurry), it was successful 😆 how i wish i could redo this. I’m still doing the 45 degree angle but it’s hard if the parking lot is full.
"The position of your car, the size of your car, and the gap from the parked car are crucial for parking successfully. If you're a beginner, drive carefully."
Hi! Very useful video! I will defintely try this bcs I wasn't sure how to align 🚗 as its different from driving lesson car! This will apply to any size vehicle? Big or small? Thanks
Backing into a parking spot that way should be considered a moving violation. It was never taught in driving school and there is no established turn signal for “the reason I’m stopping here is because I’m about to put my car into reverse - keep on guessing”.
@@unknownbytes2874 simple: park forward, nose in ! Most cars today have backup cameras and cross-directional radar, making backing out of a spot much safer than driving forward out of a spot.
@@jayachandran.a very simple: park NOSE IN, the way we’ve been doing for decades. Most cars today are equipped with backup cameras and radar that make backing OUT of a spot safer than driving out forward. There is no forward camera in my car, but plenty of sensors for backing out. This whole concept of backing into a spot is just plain stupid.
Stop two cars ahead of your target spot so someone can block you out, or jump in your target spot going forward? That's called passing the test. In a real situation, I'd turn away from the target spot within one half car length .. then back in. This stops both spot stealing assholes and traffic interference. I been driving too long to ignore what's happening around me!
Do you have a video on how to park a car forward? That's something that I'm trying to learn and I was hoping if you had a video about that? Using this animation, of course. Lol
😢😢 after my school and get my license my driving in the road is really no problem but when i park i end up being yell my husband why i don't learn how to park..😢
In case nobody's mentioned it yet (I couldn't be bothered to read all of the comments) could you do a similar video taking into account disabled parking bays. I personally use the same method I use for reverse parallel parking (end of last car visible in end nearside window then full steer). It usually works for me. I'd be interested in your take.
☺️ Hello! Several people asked you legitimate questions and I wanted to know the answer. You just said "Thank you" to them, not addressing their questions. That looks like you didnt read it, or you ignored their question. I would rather think you didn't see my question, rather than you saw it and ignored it. I'm only one person. I do thke note that you read my comment and responded. ✨️
