Watched this video 5 minutes before my test to jog my memory after practicing a bit (not a good idea, make sure you have this consistent) ended up absolutely smashing this manouver and the test! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for your reverse parallel parking tutorial. Your technique was the easiest amonth the tutorials I have watched.I just passed my test at Beenleigh Test Center and did reverse parallel parking good!
You move alongside the parked car until it's back tail light is aligned with the mid-point of your left rear passenger window. In other words, look back over your left shoulder and look out of your left rear passenger window. The sweet spot is when the back tail light of the other car is at the halfway point of that window frame. This places the back of your car a small length behind the parked car's back, giving you a clearance space to start swinging your car to a 45° angle.
If you started from point 2 your car would be stoped while you’re turning the wheels and turning the wheels while the car isn’t moving is called dry steering (since the car isn’t in motion turning creates pressure between the two front tires and the pavement that’s why you start from point one so your car is moving and you’re not dry steering
Adding to what the others have said, dry-steering isn't allowed during the licence testing in some jurisdictions and you will get points deducted. In my jurisdiction, I get a point deducted if I dry-steer for more than half a turn of the steering wheel. It comes under car management. So that's why many of these instruction videos advice learners to start the reversing process from the first reference point so that you can keep the car in motion and avoid dry-steering when you start full-lock swinging at the second reference point.
Thank you sir, for the flawless demo, very useful and friendly for learner drivers, though I wish you have a camera on the side mirror so that we can see the reference point you are watching
Hello, Thank you for this helpful video. When you were parked at the end next to the kerb, you had finished the manoeuvre. My question is it unnecessary to then if you were in an automatic to put the car in drive and move closer to the car we have parked behind before putting our car in park and handbrake on?
@@SignalDrivingSchool Ok thank you! I tried your reference point using the centre of the car in front aligned with our cars passenger mirror. It worked quite well. However, I noticed we needed to make an observation and adjustment to the right of the cars centre. When the car parked in front was parked too close to the gutter of the kerb. Otherwise, we too would end up being too close in the gutter also. 😀
The simple way to park is miror to miror turn the steering wheel full from the right then if you see the mirror to handle of the passenger turn halfway then if you see the mirror to the end of the light at the back turn it full you got your way😂😂😂

wow, this is the best reverse parallel video on youtube
Excellant explanation by using the reference point.
I have watched your video three times to help with Reverse parallel parking! It has been beneficial. I appreciate your help 😄
Thank you so much for me watching your parallel parking it helped me a lot
thank you for the nice and detailed information

Glad to hear that! Congratulations on passing your driving test
Very well explained.
Thank you your teaching is very clear
I don't get the second reference point. Like what do I line my car up with with the parked car
Same… I thought it was just me. What does one use to align with the centre of the back passenger window of the other car?

Very well explained indeed!
what is the purpose of the first reference point? are you not able to just start from reference point 2?
I think it’s because so you’re not dry steering
If you started from point 2 your car would be stoped while you’re turning the wheels and turning the wheels while the car isn’t moving is called dry steering (since the car isn’t in motion turning creates pressure between the two front tires and the pavement that’s why you start from point one so your car is moving and you’re not dry steering

7 stars ❤
Thank you!
Thanks it’s really helpful
Flawless and excellent
Thank you. 👍
Thanks sir for your very helpful video.
I like your videos Sir
great vid
Thanks this is exceptionally
Thanks you for the parallel parking. Sir, how can one contact you for a driver lesson?
how about you take a look at their website, seems like a good start

If you are far from the front car, you can move forward

I failed my 1st test, because i was too far from the curb.

You have over-complicated the issue
or you can oversimplify it like some instructors telling you to develop experience with driving instead
