Thank god someone finally did a parallel park video in a realistic space! All of the other videos have spaces you could park a bus in.
Lmao fr they do it in flat empty areas with perfectly parked cars and stuff
so true 😂
😂😂right?
He wrong about look rear mirror fir backing up. Use your side mirror way help alot
Yup. It's bc they can't really parallel park.. they're posers.
I've never heard anyone explain it like this before! The 0 - 45 - 90 degree and watching the face of the car behind etc. Amazing
Yeah, my instructor just expected me to read his mind
@@Black.Sabbath😂 funny you are!
Passed 3 months ago and had no issues with parallel parking until I’d actually passed..
I live on a main road and always need to fit in gaps like this while traffic waits for me at rush hour.
It’s a-lot different from doing it on an empty street like I did on my driving lessons and I feel the added pressure. Hopefully It’ll come easier with practice! Thanks for the video! Very helpful
while people wait for you 😢 it's horrendous isn't it!
Rip I’ve angered people f ing it up over and over 😪😅
This is exactly how i feel! No issues in driving lessons because the road is always empty with lots of space, but after passing my test I don't even bother 😢
Yes, I haven`t done parallel parking after I got my driving lisence, because my car doesn`t have the parking back camera and parking sensors like the car I drove on my driving course
I'm learning with my instructor and watching many TH-cam videos about parallel parking so I can tell this has been the most detailed, insightful explanation I've ever watched. Thanks so much!
Its like you heard me complaining about tight space parking the other day😂 thanks for this video
3:12 - An alternative is to do what Gru does in Despicable Me, and simply ram the other cars out of the way. Very effective at increasing wiggle room, but your insurance might go up and your neighbours may slightly hate you for it.
Also, could you make a video on merge in turns? I find it difficult to judge whether to slow down or speed up, or tell what other drivers are doing/want me to do.
Haha, that would increase your motoring expenses somewhat! This videos may help: th-cam.com/video/pfJi9EA05_Y/w-d-xo.html
@@ConquerDriving great teacher and good sense of humour too, damn now that's an endangered species
Thank you for this video. I’ve only had my licence for 6 months and I felt embarrassed just now when I had to shuffle back and forth a lot to get into a tight spot. Now I will remember your advice and not worry about shuffling when it’s needed 😀
i have a driver license since i was 16y old (the government had to let me pass driver license test and give me license at young age because the school of auto mechanics i finished required driving license to issue the certificate), i passed the tests and got my driver license without a problem back then, but i had no chance to drive a car up until recently when i bough a new car... but since i am 36y old now and more aware and more careful and overthinking way more than i was at young age, i had tons of fear about driving now... luckily i found your channel and watched almost all of your videos and easily started driving again without any problem using your techniques and tricks. and i am from Macedonia where we drive on the right side, but again your videos were really helpful :) thanks for the great content and for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us all, keep up the great work and best wishes.
I'm happy to hear I've helped, thank you.
Then boomers say genz is lazy. Imagine getting a driving license has become getting a war jet licence.
You've always got the best parking guides. This and the reverse bay parking one are both so much thorough than the usual methods.
This guy deserves an award, great explanations. Thank you so much
It's like you read my mind! Finally an informative video of parking in tight spaces which is the reality in London and something I have no confidence in. Will try this for sure. You are a gem Richard appreciate the detailed help you always give out on your channel.
I did my first reverse parallel park today in a spot roughly 2 car lengths and unluckily the spot I was getting into, was inclined towards the curb. So gravity made it a little harder for me but eventually, the tips I learned from your videos helped me! Thank you!
I should have watched this before I hit my neighbour car.
😂😂
Since I started to drive, my neighbours have never parked their car on street 🤣
I have the same situation at work 😂
Lol
@@youman5079 pop
been driving for a year bt not so confident about this parking since i really didnt have to do this parking. ur videos helped me before my test and after a year it is still helping me thank you 😍
This is extremely helpful! I cannot thank you enough for these videos, they're genuinely so useful especially after having a huge break from diving lessons because of lockdown! 👍
Finally a useful well explained parking video. I must have watched about 10. This is the best! Thank you.
“Yes that’s dry steering I know… get over it” 🤣
😂
Haha
Some say one must use mirror inside the car when reversing back,
@@sibabalwekoti9728 that's a skill you need only if you drive bigger cars like trucks etc
Thank you very much for this. I've been driving for almost a month and been watching a lot of your videos all this time. The benefits are immediately noticeable each time I hit the road.
Thank you very much, please never stop making videos.
The explanation of the 45 degrees angle and the cue of spotting half the face of the car at the back in your right mirror is going to be very helpful because there are no lines or pavements to look for where I live. Thanks.
i have been struggling with parallel parking, til i discovered this video. now, i can parallel park in tight spaces with ease. thank you!
Haven't driven for 4 years and due to again soon, and will have to do this to park for first time in years. Thanks for the reminder/tip video
Parallel parking on a narrow street has always been daunting. This video helped me a lot to overcome my fears and further enhance my ability to park within a tight space. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Very clear instructions. Thank you for showing the actual view in the mirror, I find that it makes me more comfortable to gauge how to maneuver the car as a driver rather than just the step-by-step instructions that driving schools sometimes offer.
Great instructions and the % tips are spot on , I keep practicing this every time I want to Reverse park and get it right every time .thank you .
Thank you very much Richard. This was a very informative video. Keep up the excellent work.
This is the best video of reverse parallel parking!!! Clearly explanation, useful reference points and real life small space situation....I love it all ❤
Thanks for the video mate. My instructor is trying to get my parallel parking done as I have my Practical in about two weeks time, this is the parking I'm strugeling with so this should help me when on my lessons. :)
I love the way you explain! So clear and easy to understand 👏👏👏 thank you
I finally parallel parked today on my own by watching this video several times. I cannot thank you enough! 15 hours of driving school but I learned more from this 6-minute video.
Thanks for video. New driver here. Passsd couple of months back. Just parked my car and caught the wing mirror. Prior to that haven’t really done any parallel parking other than on lessons. Seemed to have forgotten a little bit this has helped me refresh myself. Hopefully next time I will be better.
Fantastic video, Richard! I have found that your videos have helped me greatly!!!
Used these steps to park in a really tight space. Thanks so much for the tips
Thanks mate! Been taking numerous driving lessons here in NZ as well. Had a go parallel parking with a Honda Stream '06 model and followed your method! Will go for my Restricted licence soon 😁
Thanks for the video! I'm saving this until I get the idea. I like how you explained being able to see the curb and half the face of the cars
This the best parallel patking video ever on TH-cam. Thank you so so much.
Splendid video showing the point of view from the driver's seat! Thank you very much!
I’m not sure if it’s because your easy to listen to, but hearing you say not to risk backing into the car behind you, when parallel parking, is great advice. Playing it safe when driving is the best thing you can, and should do.
Honestly, I wish I had an instructor like you!!!!
I didn't have my lessons for nearly 3 months and today finally we resumed it. It was a bit awkward at the beginning - silly me forgot, where gas pedal is🤣 it was ok after first 10 min though)
BUT! I wanted to say massive thank you to you for posting this video, I used to struggle with the parallel parking, but today I used your tips and it worked perfectly!!! Thank youuu🤩
Such a great channel. Thanks man, you’re an incredible teacher! My test is in 23 days, hope I pass!
I wish you the best of luck!
Good Luck.
Hope u did sir
This channel helped me a lot thanks
Great video. Thanks for the help as my general driving is very good. I just tend to avoid parking between cars and now I'm gonna try to do it more.
I passed my test a few months ago and have struggled with parallel parking in my car as its a different size to the one i learnt in. Gonna try this technique thanks
Was waiting for this video for so long - thanks !
Thank you for your great videos. This particular video gave me the solid understanding for parallel parking👏👏👏
Thankyou so much for this second video on parallel parking these reference points have really helped ☺️👍
Thanks.. You did this in a real situation.
Excellent video !!!! Better than any instructor in the world
I am saving this! A POV parallel parking. Thank you! All the way from Singapore. 😀🙏🏻👌🏻
I have been struggling when I park far from curve, i couldn't fix it properly but after seeing ur video(You call it shuffling) ,now I know how to reduce the gap between the curve and tyres. Thanks 👍
Easy to understand and straight to the point
Very good video!
Thank you for this. Excellent explanation 👍🏽
Passed in April and have watched alot of your vids after I passed. I watched this hours before I set off to drive to central London because I knew I had to do tight parallel parking there. This video was soo helpful!!! I am usually so rubbish at parallel park but pretty much got in 1st attempt! Thank you soo much !!!!
That's great news, I'm happy to hear the video helped!
You're doing a great job for the humanity mate 👍
Hello, I passed my driving test today. Your videos helped me a lot .thank you ❤.
I'm living in Iran and my drive training classes are about to start;waching this videos are really helpful....thank you.
I hope they go well.
Thank you🙏🏻 you’re so helpful and comprehensive. All the best!
thank you very much for the reference points, they were very helpful!
Imagine if he was your driving instructor, luckiest client ever! Makes everything so easy to understand and do!!
I was taught like many others empty space behind the vehicle I only passed two weeks ago, wing mirror aligned with front door handle one turn in till the road disappeared then full lock….. but that doesn’t work in tight spaces I managed to get into a space tonight but was sheer excruciating but I did automatically do some of the things you said but now I feel more confident at the process involved 🎉❤thankyoy 😁
I passed my test 6 months ago. When I was learning, I was able to parallel park. After passing I would always park far from the curb.
Thank you for this video. I watched it once, then went and put it all into practice. And it worked!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the advice richard, definetly helpfull
thank you so much for great teaching on parallel packing we learn many skill from you...love this
Best explanation ever, well done 👏
This video length was just perfect. Make all your videos short and sweet like this..
Really helpful wing mirror tip for judging the angle facing forward. Thanks!
Thanks for this , got my test on the 15th July and this was something I needed to work on and was struggling as each time I did it it was either good or terrible. This made it so much easier and clearer for me and allowed for me to get more consistent results !
Good luck with your test!
@@ConquerDriving thank you !
Good luck!!! I have a test today too 😁
Thank you brother 👍🏽I was looking video like this very straight forward and easy to understand
Thanks so much for these videos, they really helped me with my confidence during the test! I passed first time and my new car is arriving tomorrow! *50/50 of Excited + little nervous!
Congratulations, that's great news! Enjoy the car.
Great video! Finally someone who has chosen a space that is more realistic. Sending your videos to my son
Superb as usual yu r a gem of instructor RICHARD
I was wonderfing if you could do a video about parallel parking in a narrow road, particularly when there are cars parked on either side with very little room to manouver the car into a 45 degree angle. Thank you for all the wonderfully instructive videos you post. Much appreciated.
Thank you for the suggestion.
been waiting for this vid. thanks
THE BEST DRIVING TEACHER!!!!
Thanks for the video. Really appreciate your pointers. 👍✔️🙌👌
Most awesome driving teacher in TH-cam. Your videos are extremely helpful
That's really great to hear. Thank you for your generosity 😊
Hey thanks for this excellent video. It helped a lot today. Cheers!
i found ur english speaking is the best in all instructors, i wish i stay ur area, u r teaching proper good, ur english pronouncasion is soo clear word by word, i drive with my intructor two hours of time and i dont understand what he is saying in most of the time cus he is speaking soooo fast and i cant catch and even i dont know what he is talking about most of the time, i mentioned twice to speak slove wird by word and use easy english words but not , sadly people says he is one of the best instructor in my area, so i will watch ur videos and drive his car i think this what i can do for now
Thanks for all the videos. I am going to be traveling to UK in May - from Kolkata, India. Your videos are very useful. And, by the way, that tight space between two cars, in Indian standards, is VERY comfortable! 😀😀😀
You are a life saver!!! Thank you so much
Excellent video and fluent commentary.
I did parallel parking in the first time after watched your video. thanks
Your videos help me a lot. You are the best teacher. Your explanation is more understandable then my instructor sitting next to me all the time. I have done all my lessons covering in 14 hours because of you. I took additional 8 lessons only to be perfect which I never driven before. My instructor told me I am ready in only 14 hours. I am going to take test in February wish me a good luck
Good luck!
@@ConquerDriving thanks 🙏
Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Parallel park is the manoeuvre I'm stuck on, thank you so much for this!
4:22 ah of course, the Austin Powers method!
Omg this is good. Thank you so much very well detailed.
Interesting, always more than one way to skin...
What I do is, looking round I aim the corner of the car to the middle of the space, then I usually continue this course just a little bit more than my own judgement (I don't know why, but otherwise I end too far from the curb) before straightening. Works every time!!
another gud way to tell if ur close to the curb or not is when the front cars license plate or the logo intersects in the middle of ur front window.for judging the back i always rely on my parking sensor and camera guidelines.for judging the 45 degree, i use my B pillar when it aligns with the back tail light of the front car it means im already at 45degree. and i think u have to see the full car(back one) with a lil space in ur wing mirror for confirmation of adding the 45 degree. specially if the space is very tight u need to be at a sharper angle for entering the space.if the back car is way far back then u will see the full car even before completing the 45degree. thats wat i notice from my experience.so there is no hard n fast rule of using reference points just use ur own judgement that will help.
Your videos have helped me so much with my driving and in helping me gain some confidence! Thank you so much 🙂 My test is on monday so hopefully I’ll pass!
Good luck Victoria!
@@ConquerDriving I passed! 🎉 Thanks so much for all your helpful tips! You helped me more than you’ll ever know! Been watching your videos since last summer and you’re just great at what you do!
this video is amazing! i’ve been driving 15 years and I hate parallel parking now i’m off to squeeze into any space
😂
Dry steering-Get over it 🤣. My parking sensors would go off for even coming up close to the van. Love your videos, very informative without boring the socks off you.
This video worth of billions like 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so soooo much dear for your helpful information ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I love your videos. I’ve been driving for 20 years but just recently bought a manual car and I’ve been watching your videos and learning a lot. I haven’t found anything that helps me with my issue. I need to reverse up my driveway and then back into my garage. That seems to be my biggest issue right now. I get to the bite point and the car gets going but if I give too much gas it goes fast and if I don’t give enough, it goes forward. I feel like I’m going to wear the clutch. The other worry is reversing into a flat parking spot without going too fast
I just adore this video. Needed to say it.
great video. been following ur videos
Amazing, thanks for this video
I have learnt a lot from you sir🙏
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing
This video is great! After watching this, I managed to successfully part on my first attempt with this method.
That's really great to hear! Congratulations on passing!
Thank you Mr Richard Flanders for the quiet amazing explanation that you give us. Watching your videos from Algeria
You're welcome 😊
