This video couldn't be any clearer, I absolutely LOVE the detail and effort you put into this. The animations are perfect, the explanations are clear and leave no room for confusion, and the editing with the head camera side by side with the car camera (like at 3:44) REALLY just puts it all over the top. You're helping so many students and you're such a great teacher, thank you!
Sir, I am senior citizen from India and learned to drive bit late, couldn’t cop up with modern gadgets but after watching your well informative videos I am feeling very confident in driving/parking/reverse camera . Respect for you. Thanks 🙏
This guy’s video and edit is another level and best out there in RU-vid and definitely underrated. Failed on 1st road test coz I didn’t know your channel and I’m 100% sure I’ll pass this time. Watched all your videos in 3 days and I’m sad that I found you late. Great work! Keep it up 👍 👍 👍
This is an amazing video. Your guidance regarding adjusting the reference points for different sized vehicles is invaluable. My daughter was struggling with ending up too far from the curb even after following the instructions from her driving instructor. We couldn’t figure out what she was doing wrong until we saw your video. A few simple adjustments and she was parallel parking like an expert. Thank you!!
Finally the best description and explanation I’ve ever seen, and that have been quite a lot! You tell about all the valuables, not only ‘bout one, which could be wrong for the own car. Great explained and shown clearly with the animations! Many thx for your videos, the only ones that matches for everybody!
You are the best instructor ever！！You put yourself in the new drivers shoes and see our struggles, that’s why all the tips are thoughtful and helpful, not all the good drivers are good teachers but you are definitely both, thank you very much sir, god bless you ❤
What a fantastic, concise explanation! This is my biggest and only problem when driving but having a physical visual reference is great to have along with the 1-2-1 method (1 whole turn of the steering wheel to the right and then 2 to the left and then 1 to the right again). You're a lifesaver!
OMG, yes this is exactly what’s been happening to me and has made me want to give up and take my test this coming Tuesday! I’m either too far away or I’m on top of the freaking curb! I can’t seem to judge the distance I’m taking the test in a car with a rear camera which they allow you to keep on, but they watch you like to make sure that you are using your mirrors more than the camera I’m going to watch this video until it’s memorized and just keep parallel parking until Tuesday morning at 10:45 AM and pray that I got it. Thank you so much for this video and all of your videos. They’re so wonderful and helpful.
Some of the best videos because you talk about realistic scenarios and cover variables encounters in real driving. All other videos neglect the size of the car being driven, the size of the cars being parked between, and so on, but you don't. You cover them and make it known that there are exceptions and that it's not a silver bullet answer. It's fantastic!
I just passed my road test after watching this! I had driving lessons and the instructor just taught me that I need to turn the wheel once completely once to the right then reverse and line up at a 45 degree angle then make two full turns to the left and continue reversing. It worked sometimes but I wasn’t consistent. I was panicking because yesterday I couldn’t get it down and had my road test today, then I came across this video. What saved me was lining up the cars license plate in the middle of the passenger side window before turing the wheel to the left and continuing. I practiced that over and over again and it’s worked every time! Thank you so much!
the only problem I have is with parallel parking and this video completely solves what problem i was facing when parallel parking, ive got my road test today and this is for sure gonna help me
My driving improved a lot because of your videos. Less fight between me and my husband who was teaching me. Will take my license exam on May 19. Please pray for me.
I have been driving for a long, I visit you channel to learn parking( parallel, back etc.). My son got Drivers license recently, I made him watch this channel (better than what he learned in the driving school)
I love this channel. You put so much effort in amazing editing! just so we will understand best. And it works. Your methos and the editing is so good description and time effective and and appreciative. Thank you ! Thank you.
Believe it or not I’m watching all the way from the UK & your driving tips have helped me drive smoother and more confidently in my driving lessons. Thank you so much 🙏🏾🇬🇧
I have been driving since 1966. The key to parallel parking is to learn and know your vehicle. When I started driving there were no cameras. We had only the mirrors and turning your head to watch outside. I now drive a large SUV. It has cameras. Because of its size I have to use the cameras, but I also still use the mirrors and turning my head as best possible. I have no issues parallel parking with this SUV. It is 19 feet long, 7 feet wide, and over 6 feet high.
Nice vid. Question/s, how close should you be from the car next to you before attempting to park? How about parallel parking at the drivers side? I've been driving for a couple of years now but parallel parking for me is a hit or miss specially since I live in a populous chicago community. Parking spots are mostly tight like bumper-to-bumper tight.
I think the best way is using the passenger mirror and the curb as references. So if on the mirror that triangle totally closes then them we can move to the next step but is important that the mirror is configured correctly.
I just came to see only if I should not hit the curb for my driving test, If i were a beginner I will be overwhelmed for so many measurements. I always just check my right rear mirror and align the bumper with the curb at around 45 degrees turn the wheel and thats it. Anyways, Congrats for so very good videos and all the work you put on them.
Thanks. Actually, touching the curb can be very useful, especially when parking in a rtight spot. It gives you a reference point. However, in many places, they don't accept that at the exam. But in everyday life, it can be useful when done safely.
Thank you so much I use this method today on my test for the first time ever and it worked and I passed for my G Licence and it was the same big car on your video thanks and God bless
I use electric Wing mirrors. I put the wing mirror down a bit to view the tyre and watch it align perfectly with the sidewalk. I then put the mirror back up to normal level.
Thanks for this videos I'm just going to start my driving classes but I want to go in with a least a little knowledge of how things might work or help me to adapt to the classes
Nice video as always. Just today I was parking like this and hit the curb. I prefer smoothly touching the curb before staying too far from it because when you touch it, you can turn the wheels fully to the curb, advance to the car infront And turn the wheels fully from the curb. My problem Is that backing up to the spot, i use too sharp angle.
Whoa, Use the passengers side mirror to determine the distance to the curb !, angle it so you can see the curb as you maneuver. This will help you to not smack the curb or see that you will be to far away from the curb, you can recover it. I like lining up your passenger's side mirror and the Left taillight of the car ahead of you.
I think we still need to find a best point of reference to the second step. And the car that is parking can have different lengths after the passager seat so it messes even more with that point of reference.
I use the rear door handle of my car as a reference, if it touches the kerb in the mirror it's time to turn. you thus don't need to rely on the plate of the car in the front.
I went to Lucy driving school and they didn’t teach me anything for a year there were like just drive and Everytime she was on a call and none of them speak English it’s the worst driving school in Montreal and I took one lesson from tecnic near saaq dorval that guy taught me million times more in one hour than that Lucy in 1 year and lastly this guy is a gem he help me so much in driving and everything involved with it
Better to put a small tape mark or some other indication in the centre of the window as reference. Use it for a few days and then you'll get to know your centre automatically. Similar to placing a small paper or coin to judge the far end of the car opposite to your driving side when you're a new driver.
Happy new year sir.thank you for wonderful videos. Can you please also do video on how to estimate the distance and space you have between your car n another car next to yours. When turning it feels like I too close to other car. Or too close to curve. I some time come out of the car to make sure I not too close. It looks I too close from the car but when I come out to check. There is big space. Is there ways to estamaite that you are not too close. I am a new driver.
I will like to about the steering wheel. Like how it comes straight after we make a turn and pull out or on three-points. I can turn but don't know at what time my well straight
Hope I had watched this video earlier I scratched my rims 🤕 because I liked to park as closed to the curb as posible. Now I leave as much space from the curb without leaning too much to the center of the street.
Thank you so much for your videos. I wished you had been my instructor all those years ago! I still have problems with parallel parking. I live in the UK and we drive on the left and have right hand drive cars. Would your rules still apply but with reverse turns off the steering wheel? I have found your tips helpful. I understand how others now seemly do it so easily.
