This is an OK way of teaching...Different instructors have different methods of teaching how to park. From how I was taught, you do the following: 1) Once you're pulled over and have your right signal turned on, you can either pull over next to the 2nd door handle to the car or the mirror, depending on the car. So this method that was taught in this video was good 2) Turn the wheel ONE COMPLETE TURN to the right 3) Look in both directions to make sure no cars, bikes or people are coming 4) Gently release the brakes (On hills sometimes you have to give it tiny gas for the car to move) and look at the back window and into your passenger mirror 5) While looking into the passenger mirror, make sure the curb is touching the top part of the mirror 6) Once the curb touches the top part of the mirror, turn the wheel all the way to the left and proceed. While doing this step, still look at the back mirror but now you're mainly looking into the passenger mirror until your car is parallel to the curb 7) Once the car is 2 or 3 inches from the curb, straighten out the wheel and put the car in park Sometimes you have to fix the car once or twice so that its a bit closer to the curb but make sure you DO NOT touch the curb because thats an automatic fail. Thats just another way of mastering parking. I dont agree with turning the wheel all the way to the right as a first step because that will cause you to have to do too many additional steps and the parking will come out bad. But you should definitely follow what your instructor tells you and do what works for you. If this method works for you, great
@@ninabennett909 In the next videos you make, go in reverse but looking at the mirrors without turning your face back, just look at the mirrors for me When you reverse, just look in the side mirrors and the middle one without turning your face backwards, they make me nervous when you turn your face backwards and use the reverse camera
This is how my instructor taught me to parallel park, its pretty easy and nailed the parallel parking of the road test. - Match your cars mirrors to the other cars mirror (like how you did in the video) (Make sure to leave like 2 feet or so of space) pretty much how you spaced it out. - Turn the steering wheel 3 quarters to the right (since were parking to the right). If you want a visual of what I mean. Look at 3:32-3:36 in the video -Shift the car into reverse (make sure to check blind spots and whatnot your instructor covered) then proceed to let the car fall into place. Note- The car should fall into place where your mirrors are matching with the taillight of the other car - Finally turn your steering wheel all the way to the left and finish your parallel park. Super easy Secret tip that even my instructor uses when he parks by himself- Before you start your parallel park and you just pulled in next to the other car you will park behind (where you are mirror to mirror), you can bring your right mirror down to where you can see the curb, so when you back up the curb and your car should make a V shape. The size depends but its said it should look like a normal "V". I find it good also to see whether or not I am going to hit the curb. Note you should know for the road test if you havent taken it- The road test includes! -Right and left turns - Stop signs (both all-way and normal stop signs) - Parallel park - 3 point turn Please and PLEASE make sure to prioritize observation, got so many points dinged for it but I passed thankfully. Remember- My instructor said himself that each professor teaches differently especially when it comes to parallel parking, you should most likely follow what YOUR instructor says. Though I find my instructors way a bit easier because all I have to do is line up the mirrors, turn the steering wheel and then let the car match its mirror to the taillight. Your instructor had to make you back up a little in order to initiate the parallel park (where he had you back up to the second door handle) which is okay but as I said i found mines a bit easier. If you want learn the way your instructor says it and do it on the road test, and later when you drive by yourself you can try out my method of parking. Do what suites you though
Thank you for teaching this method
You are so welcome!

Thanks for the driving lesson because I need to get my license! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are so welcome
I need to get mine too😊. You're not alone
Thank you for this video

Thank you. I appreciate your words.
@@ninabennett909 no problem. dont be too nervous before the test, it was really fast. It'll honestly be more chill than nerve-wrecking actually.
@fatzalot8752 thank you! I won't be nervous. God bless you
Thank you for video sister.Can I have your teacher number? cause I’m going get G test? Thanks
Hello. Sure! Do you live in New York?
Please you are not qualified to teach this method.I get more confused
Ok. My instructor is the one that's teaching me. I'm sorry that this video didn't help you.
@@ninabennett909 ur instructor is helpful
@@lindatan5444 thank you.
