Although these tips are very much appreciated, the reference points are not accurate. All vehicles have differences in height, width, length, turning radius etc. The best thing to do is to get to know your car.
The following videos were done based on a basic sedan type car as reference as the general population of private motorists drive a sedan compared to SUVs, vans or pickups which are bigger
@@rdu239 but not all sedans are the same. Those reference points would literally only work for this one model or ones from different manufacturers based off of it.
That is inaccurate - if you change the chair position up and down, everything changes. You should measure your own car by moving your chair to a place that will be the same all the time = the maximum upper place that gives you maximum visibility. Then, buy some plastic obstacles and train with your car and find out the connection between virtual lines between your eyes and car lines, stop the car, and measure the actual distance to the plastic objects.
Test what works for you. Seems like a good system but don't assume the distances are the same in every car. In fact, one of my cars you sit so low by design you can't even see the hood.
I don't know about other tips but the one with lower bumper of front car where your car and the front car has 1m dist is true and valid for approximately all person
Once again... It all depends on the car, the height of the person driving the car, and the type of the car.... Look guys, just use your common sense in driving your own car. If you had driving a long time and use the same car, you will be fine.
Its for beginner, a guide for them, yes theres different car and oerson height but they kniw where to start, not blind on how to do this and that which end up making bad move
There alway that one guy in every comment in these kind of video. Can you take a moment to realize how unhelpful you are? The video could be used as a guide or reference trick , and everyone will find their own perfect alignment for themselve. Telling people to just use “common sense” is embarrassingly unhelpful. Like what? People aren’t alr try their best to do it? U think people just driving mindlessly prior to watching the video or reading ur comment? Maybe looking up various videos and trying through trail and error is common sense that you don’t have
My advice if I can put into words is: practice is key. During your day to day driving memorise and visualise how much space your car takes in tight spots. So in time you will instantly know if you can fit somewhere or not Pro tip: Try to be as smooth as possible dont overthink it, dont try to be cool, dont rush. Some things in life need moderation. If you want to go quick do so smoothly, if you wanna park do so smoothly, if you are stuck in traffic keep your distance and do so smoothly. If your girl wont appreciate it if you constantly change frequency and speed, your car wont either
I mean it's not like I'm taking measurements like this guy 😂 but I don't think it's what you would call muscle memory, just good spatial understanding of your own car, but I recognize there's a limit to that and it varies from person to person, so if you're having trouble, finding some hard rules you can use like in the video can't hurt.
Man I knew how to drive in tight spaces year one. Took cones and placed them close to the sides of my vehicle. I'd drive through, then have to comeback between them repeatedly. It's helped train my eyes to drive in tight spaces. Also taught me it's alright to back down.
Just keep to the left side as close as possible 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ than the right side will have more space so it definitely won’t hit, just keep watching the left 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
In my opinion don't over think! Having distance is always good just adjust seat such that you can see car front in SUVs based on that u can make decisions. When it comes to sedans car it might be bit diff yet will get idea by driving regularly
These are complicated. I have learned how much my car takes space by now. In the first years of owning it I scratched it a couple of times but not anymore. I've had it for about 7 years.
Im a deliver driver,15 years now.....its all about learning how to judge distance, AND knowing the steering radius of the vehicle your driving,you NEED to know what your car can and cant do..OH YEAH!! AND GO SLOW IN TIGHT SPOTS,NOTHING WRONG WITH GOING SLOW TO KEEP FROM DOING DAMAGE...,,,,kinda like a baseball player knowing when to start swinging the bat to meet the ball in the sweet spot of the bat,,,,practice,,practice
For all "smart" comments Be smarter, use this method to find the same reference points in your car Look at this as not a tutorial that works 100% for every car but more as the algorithm Stop being stupid pls, like 9/10 comments about this fr
So this is what a 10+ years exp drivers know huh… 😂😂😂 Damn sure they dont even check ref points.. it just starts feelin natural after a while. And what if the bonnet is not even visible!
honestly, I feel like disclaimers would be nice but the idea is good, he isnt supposed to give you the absolute benchmark for every car, he approximating them for you so you can easier find it in your own car.
It's a great a lesson ..! I have a question, when there is a car parking a long the road and I want to turn and park in front of it but I'm afraid the car's back hitting their car's front parking how do I turn without hitting. Thank you for teaching..
Is it possible to asess the back light to pass a runing vehicle in left of u n to pass through its right side..in less spaced one way roads..pls answer???
These are just general guidelines. I drive both compact sedan and suv and it always takes time to adapt if I drive only one vehicle longer than couple of weeks.
My advice: forget about everything said in this video. It might be true if everyone was of the same height and all vehicles were carbon copies of each other.
This video is misleading. Cars vary in dimensions, and hence there's no single rule that would help you determine the distance of objects around your car. There's absolutely no alternative to practicing more and more in order to become a better driver.
