CONGRATS on passing!!
That’s awesome I have mines coming up soon
That's Awsome Congratulations Mine test is Thursday at 3:00 Praying I pass 1st time
Bruh mine is tomorrow and I'm honestly kinda nervous
@@pamelamiller5600what a coincidence, I have mine today at 3 😂😅
I passed my road test on the first try because of this video! I kept rewatching it over and over. Thank you so much. It was very helpful.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss! Congrats on passing, what a huge achievement! Thanks so much for your kind words 👍👍
Wish me luckk
Good to know my son is going Friday hope he does as well
This gives me hope too
But my question is on the 45 degrees sterling,how do I know it’s now 45 degrees?
I am not the most coordinated person, but watching this video many times and practicing these steps helped me parallel park perfectly the drive test. I couldn't believe it! This video was the reason why. Thanks Jay!
Woot woot! CONGRATS on passing and thank you for sharing! So glad the video helped!
I would love to thank you Jay for this amazing lesson. I paid for 6 lesson at my driving school and failed the parallel parking mainly because I never control the car on my own to align beside the car hence I started looking a day before my road test. I watched this video constantly over and over and when I did enough hand motion practice like I was actually in a car. I gained enough confidence I needed plus I spent additional money to borrow the car
I PASS with your help it was straight forward
Thank you so much again
Thank you so much, that means a lot! CONGRATS to you on your success and hope you have a safe new year!!
My drivers test is tomorrow- Wish me luck!
(Edit: I PASSED!!)
Best of luck to you, you've got this! Let us know how it goes!!
Hello,
We find tons of videos about parallel parking on TH-cam.
But, trust me this one is THE BEST! The visual reference point for 45 degree angle and backing up straight works just amazing!
Followed this method, practiced it just one day before the test and got passed my road test easily.
Thank you so much for the video.
Whoever is preparing for their road test, please follow this method and you will pass yours easily. All the best!
Wow, thank you Akshay - so great to hear that you passed!! Congrats and thank you for sharing your kind words!
i love the way you guys explained this. makes so much more sense. i failed my drivers test specifically because of parallel parking but this techinque looks very simple and helpful and i will try it out when i redo my driving test!
Thanks for the feedback Caroline! Please let us know how it goes on your next test - just get some more practice behind the wheel and you've got his!!
Did you pass doing this
@@laureno2982 I second this
Thank you so very much Instructor Jay! Today, I passed my driving license test and I got full points on parallel parking section because I watched and learned this video!
Congrats to you on passing, so proud of your achievement!! Thanks for sharing your story and we wish you the best of luck on your continued driving adventure. Please stay safe out there!!
1. Right turn signal on
2. Align beside the parked car, 3 ft away
3. Do smog, reverse gear and turn ALL the way to right
4. Stop when divider btwn ur front and back window blocks the other cars left back light
5. Straighten the wheel (2 turns)
6. Stop until parked cars license plate is in middle of ur passenger window
7. Turn wheel ALL to the left and reverse
8. When parallel to curb, straighten wheel and adjust car to be in middle of gap

My test is tomorrow!! Thank you and Godbless you guys and keep you .
Best of luck, please let us know how it goes!

Nice Vovo, let us know how it goes! You've got this!
@@DriversEdDirect gjgk
Agree right, straight n n left formula work.
Really the best parallel parking instruction. Thank you so much!
Thank you, we really appreciate your kind words!
Best video on parallel parking that I have seen on TH-cam. Concise and yet informative.
Thank you so much for that, much appreciated!!
I’ve been driving for 51 years. I’ve never had a problem parallel parking until a few weeks ago. (No clue what caused the change.) Your video was the most clear of the many videos I’ve watched the last couple of days. Now to go out and practice.
Nice, thanks for sharing your story - so interesting how things change over time! Please let us know how the practice goes, stay safe out there!!
I lost my driving skills because I allowed my husband to drive for me Wish I had kept it up seems lost my confidence in parking so the more I watch these videos I think it will work but with the volume of traffic parked not very easy we only see these video instructions on quiet road situations
@@milels6917 Hello! Thanks for sharing, hang in there! I know the videos show "easy" parking situations in low traffic areas, but that's where we recommend you practice fine-tuning your parking skills before you try to do it on a busy street with lots of traffic speeding by. Once you've got the hang of it on these quiet streets, then venture out to the busier streets and practice there. Thanks for watching and please stay safe out there!
This is by far the best video I've seen on parallel reverse parking. I am taking lessons now and have my exam on the 8th of Dec. Trust me this video is god sent, so so clear !
Thank you Tina, we really appreciate it! Keep up your great practicing and please let us know how it goes on the 8th, you got this!
@@DriversEdDirect just wanted to reach out and share that I did pass my exam on my first attempt on the 8th of Dec, also will receive delivery of my first car this Friday:)))) thank you so much for posting this video. My parking was excellent on the day due to ur tips.
@@tinasindhu9358 Tina, that is great news! Huge congrats to you on earning your license. Very exciting and we are so happy for you!! Thanks for sharing and watching, please stay safe out there!
Only if my instructor was such a great communicator like you! Awesome I understand it much much better 👍
Thank you so much!
Very helpful tips, thanks buddy. I’m currently taking my driving lessons and I struggling with parallel parking. Great tip!
Thank you Fabienne! It's definitely not the easiest thing to learn when it comes to driving... Keep up your practicing & repetition and you'll get the hang of it soon!!
I watched a few such vids and conclude that yours has the clearest instructions. Good job! Thanks!
Thanks Christina - comments don't get much better than that! We appreciate you and please stay safe out there!!

And kudos to Ed Direct for being the best in the business
Thanks Ari!! Really appreciate those kind words and we 100% agree, Jay is a GREAT instructor!
Thank you, Ari! And thanks for choosing Drivers Ed Direct!!
Thank you so much for this video! I got my driver’s license about 2 weeks ago and today I decided to do the parallel parking. I did it in two attempts because the first time the mirror of my car was too close to the mirror of the other car, so I made sure for the second time to keep 3 ft away and it worked!
Wow, we are so happy to hear that it worked for you after only two tries! Awesome job by YOU and thank you for sharing your driving journey with us!!!
Thanks,very easy to understand,i have been driving for 25 years,but I really like your way of teaching
Wow, what a nice bit of feedback!! Thank you Hanh, we appreciate that 🙏

Good to hear, thank you for letting us know!
Thank you for the tips
Thanks for watching, Liza!
Excellent
Thank you!
Accurate and simple to follow.
Thanks Jai!
Thank you!! This is well detailed!
Thank you very much!
That the best technique I seen in parallel parking
Thank you so much, have a great day!
You are indeed the best. Thank you
Thank you so much!!
Someone had to park for me today because I couldn't do it 🥺 thank you
It's OK Nessa - everyone starts out as a beginner! The person who parked the car for you was a beginner once too. Keep practicing and you will get there for sure. Thank you for sharing!
Just failed my driver’s exam bc of parallel parking. It would be so much more helpful to actually parallel park on a street and not in a parking lot with cones set up for several exercises it was very confusing. Ty for the video, very helpful.
Sorry to hear that, totally understand that it can be confusing... Even though the mechanics are the same, the visual reference points are definitely different when you are parking between 2 cones vs 2 cars. Keep practicing and you'll get there! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I was thinking the same while watching this....the points of reference are great for real life but how do you reference between cones/poles for the test?
Respect from Albania 👏👏 very nice information
Many thanks from California!
Thank you so much. This was really helpful and I passed.
Congratulations on passing! Thanks for your support and be well!
Hi Ed thank you so much i pass my road test today 😇😇🤗🤗🤗
CONGRATS! That's a huge achievement, way to go!! Thanks for letting us know 🤗

@@DriversEdDirect i just moved to California and here is such difficult to find parking spot, so i need to get good on parallel parking… i ll try your method!
Thanks so much!!! You rock!
Thank you very much!!
Best parallel parking video. 🏆
Wow, thanks! Best comment today 🏆🏆🏆
Really good. Thanks Jay
My pleasure! Thank you for the support!!

Ahh, thank you, that is so kind!
You're the best. Thank you so much
Such nice words, thank you very much 🙏🏽
Thank you for this video❤️
You are so welcome 😊
I just wanted to thank u I actually passed my driver test a couple of days ago now I'm just waiting for my license thanks for all the inspirational words
Great job on passing, what a huge achievement! Thanks for sharing your success and for supporting our channel. Please stay safe out there with your BRAND NEW LICENSE!!!!!
@@DriversEdDirect thank u so much I hope u all are having a wonderful 👍😊 day and yeah smog is definitely the way to go
Likewise and thank you!! 😊😊😊 (and yes, we love SMOG!)
Interesting, I've also seen many lessons where they do full right until lock, tail light of parked car visible through passenger side window, then full turn left until lock. However, I think that's for a tighter fit. I'll add in the straight reverse like you did for the larger parking spots during my drivers' ed and see.
Thanks for sharing! There is definitely more than one way to get the job done, ultimately you'll use what works best for you and your car given the parking situation. Please let us know how it goes!
i have the road test this sunday i effl nerviouse
Hi Inday, it's okay and perfectly natural to be a bit nervous before your road test - it shows you actually care about the test, which is a good thing! Acknowledge your nerves, but also acknowledge the fact that you've been practicing a lot and working hard at your driving skills. On Sunday, when it's time to take your test, have confidence in yourself and trust in all of the preparation you have done thus far. Take a deep breath and then show the examiner the best driving version of yourself. You got this Inday! Let us know how it goes!
@@DriversEdDirect thanks you a lots hopefully I make it's 🙏
After watching this video, I passed my road test once. I'll recommend you guys
Thank you Chibundo! Congrats on passing, way to go!!! Stay safe out there!

Awesome, thank you for sharing that!
Ok i love this and the reference!
Thank you Sandra!
I’m taking my test today I’m really nervous Becuase my drivers Ed instructors never taught me how to Parallel park I wish I had a teacher like you
Thanks for the nice feedback, we appreciate that! A little bit of nerves can be good becasue they keep you focused and show that you care about earning a license. Just go out there and show them the best driving version of yourself, you've got this! Here's some last minute test tips to help you cram before today's test: th-cam.com/video/HhUZ4MVNlDM/w-d-xo.html Let us know how it goes, good luck!!
