- In this video, I show you how to judge the front of your car. This tutorial will work for any car because it allows you to train your eyes and your mind to become great at estimating the distance in front of your car. I have used this method with every car that I have owned, and it works really well because it allows me to adapt my thinking to the size of the front of that specific car.

Heyyyyyy everyyybooooddddiiieeeyyyy
Jhhjjyjjuuhyj
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially funny with your profile pic
Sounds like that dude on Breaking Bad. Love it!
LMAO
I'm older, and it's been such a hassle trying to learn at my age. This guy has been invaluable. Thanks!
So am I. I need to learn this!
I passed my test in a 1st attempt thanks sir 😊
The key to doing this is not to look through the windshield, but where you can the bottom of the snowbank or wall line directly underneath your wing mirrors.
The real method is always in the comments
Thank you so much for this video. I've always unconsciously wondered how people just know how to know how far away they are but I guess they don't at first. Thank you for showing us that you don't or won't just know and that it's ok or even better to have to get out and practice your judgement. Perfect instructor 😊
A lot of the time it depends on the car, in my last car you could see exactly where the front ended and get to within a couple of inches of something without hitting it whereas in my new car for example I have no idea where the front ends and never will because of how its designed.
Thanks for this video! But you just taught your viewers how to park carefully, nose first. You forgot to tell us that once you confirmed you did not hit the parking barrier or bank, then you should find a permanent reference point inside your car-- maybe the frame of your driver window, or your side mirrors-- and use that to visually align it to the edge of the bank or the like. That way, you need not to get out of your car every time you park.
Make your owm video ya dick. You learn from repetition. I taught driving for 10 years. He is teaching the best method. Repetition. OBSERVATION. When you get out your car, always look how you judged.
You build upon it time.
You are not going to be getting out checking all your life.
You teach this because people just park and dont even think to look again and remember.
i have my test tomorrow and still a bit nervous about parking because i could never really tell how close i am without getting out. During the test i wont be able to get out of the car is there a different method that could help me judge? Also i can never really see the entire hood or bonnet of the car only a tiny fraction sometimes i can barely see past the windshield wipers is that ok?
that is my weakness that is why i am afraid in driving
Ryan Jumar Pantoja It's not that scary i stop when i feel its close enough. but when i get out it turns out its still too freakin far xD. But not a thing to be scared about
Usually everyone's fear is reverse not front but I agree front side is more difficult bc you don't have mirrors to watch how far are you I usually stop far but it's our security
just leave space between you and the person in front of you. Just practice front judgement when you are parking. Its good practice (and courteous) to leave about a 3 second gap between you and the driver in front of you anyways.
Nothings wrong if you stop far.
i was taught to look for the curb or snowbank in this case under your side mirrors and then stop also works with ditches when doing 3 point turn. Im no expert but works for me may work for others as well.
Loved your every episode. Keep up encouraging new idiot drivers like us
😂😂😂😂
I bet you're now a great driver
@@miguelschainlife3520 I am
This is a great skill to have in your arsenal. It’s great for parking your car but there are some reasons you don’t want to get super close to the car in front of you WHILE IN TRAFFIC.
1. You might scare/agitate the driver in front.
2. Your AC (if on) will suck up their fumes and poison you.
3. If their car breaks down / or some crazy person is trying to carjack you, and your nose is in their ass you won’t be able to go around them right away.
This channel always comes in clutch! Haha thanks buddy
Thank you, it would help if you tell us a reference point like using one of the side mirrors, and line it with where exactly I want to stop, this can work for any car.
video starts at 1:01
I am no expert and maybe this doesn't work for every vehicle, but I would ease up like you and then when my left outside mirror lined up with that snow bank I should be good.
Cheri Green 👍I also made the same
I totally agree, did the same.
What??
If it's a parking spot exactly like that, you can usually just line up with the car beside you.
Yeah but the point of the video is to develop that feeling, of how close the nose is toward an obstacle.
I suck at driving!
thanks to your videos I suck less
I will try th9s method. Thanks
For me i have my own preference and this is the easy way, all new vehicle this time is similar on length and sizes. It's simple if there is car beside you just lined up your front door to the door of the parked car and pretty sure you parked the same with the car beside you. One more tricks if the parking spot has a tire stopper, lined up the bottom part of your driver's mirror to the tire stopper at front of you and when you do that you are on the right spot, try this and i hope this could work for you too.
I enjoyed this video. I was wondering how everyone knows when to stop or if you're going to hit something. Especially big vehicles. This is a great tip. Can you do more of these kind of videos very helpful. Thank You for sharing.
Guys.... it's Gru!!!!
Your videos helped me to get my license! Thank you!!
Thanks for this 📹 ,will have more experience
Love this one. Can you do a next video on how to judge the side of your car especially when passing a park vehicle.
Yvonne Barrows That will become easy with experience.
Usually the mirrors are the widest part of any car so... make sure the mirror has enough space and drive slowly and carefully, if there is no one around, stop and go look how close or far you really are, and make adjustments if necessary.
The only way to know where your car starts and ends is by checking it up yourself, and repeating when you get a different car.
hey man I have already tried your judgement method and crashed my car into the wall oh my gosh
stop lying smh
😂😂😂
Thats called stupidity
That’s a u problem🫵🤣
Nah actually though that’s terrible
Oh my gosh...I needed this!
I've hit the stairs at my work entrance countless times, and it's on a slope
So this is what he gets up to when he’s not stealing chipmunks
Lols
I just see him trying to make music with chipmunks
I’m 16 driving for about 1 half to 2 years and I struggle to judge the distance when I’m back up or what’s in front of me my dad said I was far away from a object when I thought I was real close and I kinda felt bad when backing I don’t wanna hit a car or a pole so I go much as possible that I think but when I get out the car I still have room to come back anyone give tips I’m open for suggestions
Same
I will definitely try this
This dude looks like the evil guy from Alvin and the Chipmunks
No offense tho
One thing I love about my e200 is that I can see the Mercedes logo hood ornament and it easily tells me how close iam to whatever is I front of me.
good
2 hours? It takes some time, but not that much xD
I found that by night, with headlights on is so much easier as the lights become bigger and you can really tell when you are 1 cm from the thing in front.
But yeah, the first times, it is a must to get down of the car a couple of many times to check where you really are, and that goes for front, back and sides. And always think that you are closer than it appears, because it's easier to move the car again than fixing a scratch xD
Lucas 'Ktulu789' its practice, practice , and practice....just do it in an empty driveway again and again, try to park the car along a wall..
Siddhartha Ray totally agree! And the wall thing is a great idea!
Lol park against a wall . I’ve swiped the living shit out of my car doing that 😂
@Advanced Driving you should be able to drive a car, not the other way around xD
Knowing your size is always important, not only while parking.
@@stevenyang2192 you have to get close to the wall (but far) get down and check the distance from outside, then move closer and repeat. Do it as many times as you need and get as close as you feel confident. Rinse and repeat for every side as it looks different for every angle.
i had the sound on fulll and think that i am deaf now
How do you judge the passenger side of car when parking
I will try
How can I judge the width of my car from the inside?
Ehsan I assume by width u meant the other side of the bonnet. Simple trick is drive your car in between 2 white stripes on the road. Now adjusting your seat to your comfort just check the front part of your dashboard. The line where your wipers meet just see where is the white line intersecting it. That would be your reference point for the width or the other edge of the front part of your car.
@@deepaksood3234 what you wrote literally makes no sense lol
@@FantaLiteBrav you not understanding it doesn't mean that it doesn't make any sense.
Great video guy, can you do one with backing up very close to an object using only your wing mirrors, need a little help with that one, much thanks
Thank you man! This video really helps!
or you can fix an imaginary line that starts from your eye, ends on the ground, and the top of the mirror intersects the line, it's an effective method. the line exceeds the stopping point by 8 inches distance almost every time, so it's also a safe method!
When you teach driving, you need to teach so the student can apply it to any car they get into.... So, no, that wont work.
Lol
heeeeiiiiiieeeeiiiyyyyy eveeerrryyyybbbooooooddddyyyyiiieeeeeeee!!!
First problem is that I will never have a snow bank in my country.
Pls upload some tips for driving in g cc countries
Hey everybodyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
I Still have extremly hard for that after 4 years 😅
I'm usually far from where I usually feel I am. But sometimes when I get over confident I ding my car, against trash cans and sometimes, even the wall, it left nasty marks on my car 😞
Nice video, I usually use other cars as a reference point
Not if they are also parked badly lol.
I'm going to try this with my green bin as the wall. If it works, I'm going to repeat the same thing for the back of the car. If it doesn't work, then
ALLLLLVINNNNNN!!!!!!
Omg as soon as I saw him, I thought he was that guy from the movie 💀
I drive Nissan Qashqai a high car but when i drive Volkswagen Golf of my brother I can't see the distance
Plz do on how to judge a car from the back and side
I like ur all episode thank u soo much for best tips for driving...great explain step by step ..thank you
I failed my Road test . I was driving slow almost hit the mirror of a parked car Drove in traffic drove in incorrect lane inattentive to traffic Can you give me advice on how to prepare so I can pass the road test on the same site ( Yonkers )
How r u now
Didn’t he steal Alvin and the chipmunks?
Lmao
LOL the black car hit the bank
Whenever I fell like I still far away ,I always hit my bumper
Please please please ! Present a video on Manually geared vehicle ..please .
I have always parked up against walls with my bumper less than 6 inches away from touching be that in reverse or going forwards, I've gotten so close before that you can't fit your hand through the gap but I've never hit it.
His voice matches with Deepak Dalal 😂
But there is no point of practicing this for me because I drive many cars in short period of time 🤣
thank you so much for this video
Reminds me of the box ghost from Danny Phantom
"Hey Everybodieeeeee"....who else like this?!
Where are my chipmunks!
Thanks ☮️💜🙏
I love you hay everybodyyyyyyyyyy
I missed the lesson part.
U r a genius
I'm doing the in and out and now my feet hurts
Thank you so so so much. Love u
It does not work that way in all the places. I am using my side mirror line in most of the cases, still miss some time.
In other words it has something to do with "automotive design".
100%, in my Volkswagen Golf I had you could get to withing a few inches of things and stop in time the visibility and ease of parking was insane, my new Toyota Auris you cannot see at all where the front ends and are 100% reliant on parking sensors which come as standard across the range thanks to the horrendous automotive design.
please do when reversing also. thank you for the vid
Justine Jesalva when i would reverse i would crack open my driver side door a little and back it up i couldnt really judge the back from my mirrors or back window but now i have a back up camra so much easier !!!!
Justine Jesalva while parking in reverse mode if you want to have a reference point it would be the window of the back passengers.basically if the wall behind your car is aligned with the last edge of the back passenger window. Then you can assume you are closer to the wall.
It’s like a guessing game at this point🤦
It's so funny. How do you speak through your nose like that
I live in the philippines...we dont have snow season here huhuhu...
Vince Sk8er be happy tsong malala ang snow dto😂
Try driving a crown.vic or lincolm town
Heyyyh everybodyyyy
heeeeeey everybody
Man, too loud. Hope you have toned down after 6 years now. Thank you for the video
don't judge a car by it's color
You can't do that hassle thing everytime you park.
You should until you master it. Then you always know the distance to anything and can manneuver your car to mm of anything.
Or don't do it and guess your best distance with a thump... Mind that taller cars will break more of yours than the rest xD
@@Ktulu789 wow never thought aboud that...
I try lots always failed
#CORE_CYBER helped me track my lost car he’s a genius.
It was helpful thanks.
Please do give we beginners more tips on how to judge the front of a car
fucking start already
why don't you look out from your drivers side window , and slowly drive up the car up to the snowbank
Because thts boring
Bx DuBs boring? when you drive a car, you do it in most scientific way
Yeah, that how truckers backup trailer. They even open their door to adjust the mirror as their wish. Who care about looking weird when you will look like a dumbass if you hit shit.
nhozdien correct, safety is the first priority, fashion is last, but this guy is not backing up, and one should have the idea, about the parallax effect of the front bonnet
hope car designer fuckin adds front mirrors . They could easily add it on top of windshield dude. Then the driver would just look a little bit up then will be able to see front
Your voice 😋
Thanks hey
Haw to jadj frent off wall ser
just do a reverse parking and let the sensor do the job
What if i told you that you'll be tasked to drive a '70s car?
@@LGLFanTeam12 forget a 70's car most pre 2005 cars have no sensors at all.
I just crush my car on somebody's car omg
thank u very much I learnt nothing
Basically you haven’t taught anything
Whats up with americans Always driving automatic cars 🤦♂️
Not rly helpful
You shout too much
uffff just stopped ur voice is so bad. just talking slowly.
