i find the hardest part of parallel parking ain’t parking itself. but the pressure from cars behind you. their stare their impatience. plus they try to squeeze beside you to move out of way
Just take your time, they can’t do anything to you. During a test this should be the last thing you should be worried about when parallel parking, it’s your test just focus on the parking and make sure you don’t hit anything or anyone.
That's what makes me nervous because you're suppose to drive the speed limit on the test, but people usually go 5 above the limit and they'll get mad at you for being slow.
@Wes Rogers Well I wouldn't know about scooters, I drive motorbikes and have no trouble with parking, but I can see how it might be more difficult with a scooter. A hatchback has a giant window in the back and no extra length you need to calculate like the boot, it's way easier to park than a saloon.
This is by far the best video ever! I watched it about 2-3 times and got the movements down. I practiced literally 5 times yesterday before my test and got in the spots perfectly each time! I TOOK MY TEST TODAYYY AND I PASSED ON THE FIRST TRY!!! Thank you so much!! Good Luck To Everyoneeee!
@@vasownz Oh ok great. I hope you pass if the person seems rude kill it with kindness in do what you gotta do you'll pass it's easy I mean I'm in California but I'm sure you gonna pass as well as I will.😊
This is great! My parents wouldn’t let me get my license until I could parallel park, change a tire and drive a standard transmission. My first car was a Jeep Wrangler, an old one! Not a new, fancy one! My dad parked my his and my mom’s cars in front of the house and made me parallel park 100 times. I’m grateful that they were tough on me and made me learn everything because I was a pretty good driver even as a 16 year old.
Everyone knows how to drive on roads its easy. Whats challenging is keeping your focus on the road learning essential things like parking, parallel parking, diagonal parking, judging the distance incorrectly between you and other cars (i see alot of new ppl doing this), not knowing when to use turn signals etc
I did the same thing with my parents cars in front of the house. I went out to practice parallel parking this morning, and I'm doing it again tomorrow right before I have my test. I'm very nervous but also know it'll be easy and I'm confident in my driving abilities. I've definitely practiced more then most people, hope I pass!
After 6 years of driving and never learning to parallel park, it ruined my experience driving. I always felt like a loser not able to parallel park. Finally I found this video and I was finally able to do it! It's so easy now I can't believe I waited so long to look this up, thank you so much for this video you changed my life!!!
My problem with parallel park is the space i have. Sometimes the space is small so i try to do it anyways but i keep feeling that i might bump into the car.
I've been driving for 6+ years as well, and still not confident about parallel parking at all. Sure, I've done it a couple of times whenever I have a passenger next to me that lets me know exactly when to turn, if I have space, etc... But by myself it's just so difficult. The steps are just too confusing and they vary a lot depending on: The space you have, size of the vehicle you're using as a reference point, etc, etc... I guess I'm also just very anxious and when I have cars behind me or people looking it makes me perform far worse.
This is the easiest technique I’ve found to parallel park. 1. Get as close to the car you’re going to park behind without scratching it. 2. Make sure your side mirror lines up with the other car’s side mirror. 3. Put your car in reverse, and turn the steering wheel 360 degrees right. 4. Let your foot off the brake and then stop when your side mirror lines up the car’s taillights. 5. Then, turn all the way to the left and let your foot off the brakes until your car is parallel to the curb.
I swear they make it like the most important part of the road test in PA. After making sure you know how to operate your car controls, the very next part is parallel parking. If you hit an upright, mount the curb, or take more than 3 times to get in the rectangular space, you fail the entire test. I never had parallel parking on my road test many years ago, thank goodness. It was a LONG time before I learned how to parallel park.
I never bothered to do a parallel parking. But I always told myself that I have to study and practice it. I never thought I will take me less than 3 minutes to learn it. Now, I love it ❤

When I went for my driving test, during the parallel parking sequence, I pulled up to the car but another car was behind me and started honking when I was reversing and tried cutting into the park space that the instructor told me to go. Then the other person in the vehicle came out and gave me an ear full and the instructor told him that I was in a test but he didn't care or went away so the instructor called the cops and they came and told the guy to move along which he finally did after flipping me off and we went back to the test center, reversed parked into the parking space and gave me a pass lol.
Wow that sucks. In Austin, as far as I know, all parallel parking is done in a module. As in they have some silicon poles in an isolated area, about 20 feet apart and you just go for it as if there were cars

Hi loveyoumothermonster - you are absolutely right! The first step as you're approaching the space should be to mirror, signal, shoulder check to the right and position the vehicle 3' (1 metre) from the vehicle off which you're going to park. Stop--as they say in the video--so you can see the rear of the parked vehicle through the small window at the rear of you vehicle. Immediately upon stopping and positioning your vehicle, put your vehicle into reverse to activate the reverse lights so that other traffic know--via your turn signal and reverse lights--that you are parallel parking. Al the best, Cheers Rick
I got my driving license two years ago. I live in a small town where I never had to use pararell parking until I started working in a bigger city. There I must pararell park. The first time I tried many times and failed, I ended up my driving much further so that I could just park in a simple way (perpendicular parking) but that parking place was not free of charge. The second day, I watched this video right before I went to work. I wanted to park at that free parking spot. I was worried I won't be able to park in pararell even after watching the video. But guess what... I parked right away, first time! I couldn't believe it, I was so happy. I had as much space as shown in the video though. I'm not sure if I'd manage with less space. But this video gave me hope. Thank you! 🌹
Hi tobin heath - you're right, if they do make you parallel park between two vehicles, the space is 11/2 vehicle lengths. For most road tests, you won't park between vehicles, you'll only park behind a vehicle, or the licensing centre will have posts set up that the licensee will park off. All the best, Cheers Rick
but the steps in the video help a LOT especially when in a tight spot. I got comfortable parallel parking way before backing into a stall, because I found the cues to be helpful. I've been driving for maybe a year and yesterday got in and out of a very small spot easily.
If you can parallel park in NYC, you can parallel park anywhere.. Unless you're on a hill in SF. Kudos to you peeps. I'm amazed at your skills to park on a steep hill like that.
If you're parallel parked on an uphill incline and the curb is to your right, you would turn your tires to the left (away from the curb) just in case your parking brake fails, your tires will hit the curb as soon as your car starts rolling backward, which should stop your car from rolling downhill. If you're parallel parked on a downhill decline and the curb is to your right, you would turn your tires to the right (toward the curb) just in case your parking brake fails, your tires will hit the curb as soon as your car starts rolling forward, which should stop your car from rolling downhill.
and that's okay its a start to a new experience just learn everyday & be careful & when you don't know something be honest about it to yourself & learn it afterwards!
I feel so stupid looking at this video. I never got it parked ever, even though I cleared my driving test. During my driving test, I hit the cone and I believe the officer didn't notice and fortunately cone didn't fall down either. I am going to try this soon to see if I can park correctly.
@@ah_kneesha4822 Cuz a dying patient won't criticize you as opposed to the car behind you honking and the examiner's eyes piercing through your soul XD
I can never tell how much room I have behind me. Always scared I'm going to hit the car then I get out and literally have 6 feet behind me. Edit: it's been about 2 years since I posted this comment. I still suck at parallel parking.
I'm always afraid the front right side of my car is gonna hit the back left side of the car in front of me when I do that initial reverse right turn into the space.
This exactly happened to me the first time I tried my road test 😪 I wussed out getting scared of hitting the cones when I had legit space to just back it up in reverse right. Would've had a good chance of passing cause they only really care for the person getting inside the parking space, and parking(when it comes to this lol of course). Hopefully I pass now since I've gotten further practices in. 🤞🏼💯
Its parking a vehicle not having a spiritual awakening. You know where u need to go and u know u cant hit the other cars. You see it in your eyes when u must turn. Lol
Thank you so much. This video is very clear and straight forward without random extra blabbering and you point out clear definitive ways to know when exactly to do the next step rather than telling us to guess. And the illustrations are great and very helpful. Thanks.
did my very first parallel park today after a month of driving. I'm back here to say thank you. i did it so perfectly my mom asked if is it really my first time doing a parallel parking.
Ya but what if it's a truck and your going for ur drive test and the instructor tells u to park behind the truck, they should be showing a car and a truck
Caleb Seaton you do the same thing. Just use the same instructions but with a truck. The truck is taller but you can still tell where to go and what to do with the mirror and stuff.
It has been 10 years since I passed my driving test, I've only parallel park 5 times. I do Bay/ reverse parking mostly. But sometimes you gotta parallel park like a pro so this video helps a lot. Thanks
My driving test was earlier today . Found this video + another yesterday . Watched a total 4 times plus 1more before waiting for my test to start. Only thing I was worried about was parallel parking as I only practiced 2 times on a different vehicle. Test results came back, I needed improvement on the rest (not make wide turns and observe more) but I did good on the parallel parking .. therefore I passed ! So happy I did ! I’d like to thank this video and the other one 🙌💕
I watched this video and understand everything clearly. I passed my driver's test in 2019, so thank you for this video! It is definitely going to help millions.
Thank you! I had my G2 test yesterday, I have been struggling with the parallel parking aspect of the test. My wife came across your video, convinced me to watch it (more than once), and I NAILED my test. Thank you so much!!!
Have seen so many methods of reverse parallel parkings but this one that I always used is the best and works every time even in tight spots. After you aligned parallel with the car in front, just reverse and turn accordingly until the kerbside headlight of the car behind appear at the corner of your car rear in your car side rear mirror (on your left side if you park reverse to the right & on your right if you reverse to the left). Then jusr reverse straight backward until the front of your car clears the back of the car in front. Then steer your wheel in the appropriate direction (left or right depending on where the parking space is) and position your car nicely between the space.
After 6 years of driving and not being able to parallel parking between two cars, your video has helped me park correctly! I watched other videos but i wasnt able to do it! Thanks so much! 🙏
If you are nervous, just know I took my road test today and I felt like I drove like absolute shit. And I passed with almost no demerits. Scans scans scans! Exaggerate the head movement. Beyond that, you are golden.
I literally didn't practice this once and didn't know it would be in the test. Then the lady's like, "ok last thing, we're going to do some parallel parking." Somehow managed it tho. Fck that was the worst stress ever.
I tried this once without watching a tutorial beforehand, I embarrassed myself so badly that I dropped it and drove away. After watching this, I'm pretty sure I can manage now. Thanks a lot
When I did my test 28 years ago, there wasn’t cars on the road with parking sensors and even power steering was a luxury for bigger cars. The other thing that was good then was that cars were smaller. None of this huge plastic bumpers sticking out! It was a lot easier then . I passed first time and still use things like the wiper blade connection (driver side ) to line up with the kerb on pavements. Try parking beside a quiet pavement and get out to see how comfortable you can park near the kerb, then take a visual marker in the car - like the wiper blade I mentioned- and use it when driving in to park. Works all the time.
I’ve had my license for 40 years now, and could count on one hand how many times I’ve had to parallel park. But it is sure good to know how to do it, when it is necessary.
I think , this is one of the most easy to learn and understand for Parallel Park Tutorial. Thank you for this video very soon i am going to take my road test in Honolulu.Good luck to me.
This was my driving test: Instructor: ok, imagine there are two cars here. Parallel park. Me: where are the ends of the cars? Instructor: *IMAGINE THERE ARE TWO CARS HERE. PARALLELL PARK*
For my test we have to use cones. Its absolute bullshit. It makes it harder when you've practiced using actual cars and then they expect you to do it perfectly with cones.
Evan Ranger I am taking my test tomorrow and my friend who took it yesterday said she couldn't even see the cones! Even when she turned her back and stuff.
Ding dong so long they call it long schlong yes but I cried and had to do it twice bc i messed up the first time.... he prob was easy on me bc i bawled
So much steps to remember. The easiest way to parallel park is first drive parallel as close to the vehicle until u are facing the centre of the two side doors. Turn your steering all the way in the direction of the car and reverse until the bumper of the parked car is in line with your mirrors then turn the steering wheel the other way all the way and the reverse. You will perfect park without the need to drive forward. You won't need a car + a half of space to do it but little less than a car + a quarter
Am I the only one that is gonna be taking their drivers test soon because my permit is gonna expire this year and I’ve watched this video over and over so many times for 30 days till my test just to hopefully pass it on the first try?
Man I passed my 3 years ago your chillin they make you drive down the rode and show and do some other stuff they make you show them to hazards turn signals and Sometimes They don’t even do a parallel parking
I think this example is too generous, lol! The space left for you to park is what I call "luxurious". Often times in cities, you get cars that are parked too close to comfortably follow the cues this video shows. It's Good for suburban areas, but in city? Well, you just need to experience it :P
Had to take my drivers test back in 2017. Watched this the night before and went the next day without practicing and passed lmaaaoooo this vid is too goated
I always wanted to avoid parallel parking. But today, after I was driving 10 minutes searching for a parking space just not to parallel park, I decided that it's high time to learn this.
A little tip that's left out. Be sure to turn your front wheels accordingly depending on whether your car is facing up a slope or down a slope. If it's facing uphill, turn the wheels away from the curb. If it's facing downhill, turn the wheels toward the curb. If there is no curb, turn the wheels toward the side regardless of whether you're facing uphill or downhill. P.S. I'm trying to get parallel parking and 90 degree reverse parking down for when I take my test. Those and the SMOG thing. SMOG being "Signal, Mirrors, Over the shoulder, Go"
I had my road test today and I still didn’t have a good way to parallel park. I saw this video multiple times and went to try it on my road test for it to work like a charm. Thank you!
Step 1: Look through the triangle in the back and when you see the back of the other car, turn right Step 2: Turning right Step 3: When the behind car’s right corner is in the left mirror, turn wheel straight Step 4: When the right mirror covers the twilight in front, turn wheel left Step 5: get parallel to curb
my test is in 8 hours & im nervous as all hell.. esp w parallel parking and k turns edit: this video actually really helped with the parallel parking! unfortunately, i still failed bc i hit a cone during my k turn ):< best of luck to everyone taking their test though!
I just bought a car and it's my first time to own one. Executing a parallel parking seems like the most challenging part to me so I practice this every midnight (minimal traffic and pedestrians) until I can execute perfectly 5 times in a row. Thanks for the video!
I know this is an old video, but I had to let you know that this was a great reminder on how to parallel park! Great thorough instruction! I've been helping a younger guy I work with get ready for his G2 and that has been very helpful!
Great video, but I think the speed of the movement, or rather the acceleration of it, is also very important, since if you move a bit faster, the same maneuver will result in a higher radius turn, which might leave you without space... I guess the best advice here is to do the maneuver really slowly, as shown in the video. You actually save time this way, since if you release the clutch faster and accelerate more, you will have to repeat the movement and waste a lot more time. That and depending on where you live, you might cause tension among other drivers waiting behind you...
i was lucky enough to have a back up camera on my first car. made all kinds of parking super easy. but when it started going out, i just remembered this video. life saver
I know you have some sort of test soon, whether it’s a drivers test, a parental exam, or any sort of test, good luck! You got this :)

Stop--as they say in the video--so you can see the rear of the parked vehicle through the small window at the rear of you vehicle. Immediately upon stopping and positioning your vehicle, put your vehicle into reverse to activate the reverse lights so that other traffic know--via your turn signal and reverse lights--that you are parallel parking. Al the best, Cheers Rick

unless you drive a BMW ofcourse
Keeper Of The Reaper not sure what you mean by that

This is much more helpful than “figure it out on your own” when I asked for help 🙃 thanks!!
💜 Hoping you got your license!
@@StephanieRZ thank you! I just passed 🥳
@@crisol9123 Awww congratulations!! You deserved it, and well earned it lol, best wishes to you! :)
@@crisol9123 Congrats
your instructor told you that? must be a shitty one
I got my driving license two years ago. I live in a small town where I never had to use pararell parking until I started working in a bigger city. There I must pararell park. The first time I tried many times and failed, I ended up my driving much further so that I could just park in a simple way (perpendicular parking) but that parking place was not free of charge. The second day, I watched this video right before I went to work. I wanted to park at that free parking spot. I was worried I won't be able to park in pararell even after watching the video. But guess what... I parked right away, first time! I couldn't believe it, I was so happy. I had as much space as shown in the video though. I'm not sure if I'd manage with less space. But this video gave me hope. Thank you! 🌹
most parking space will be much smaller
zxn6869 true, but if you have to parallel park for your driving test the space they give you is about this length
Hi tobin heath - you're right, if they do make you parallel park between two vehicles, the space is 11/2 vehicle lengths. For most road tests, you won't park between vehicles, you'll only park behind a vehicle, or the licensing centre will have posts set up that the licensee will park off. All the best, Cheers Rick
Which is why 10 out of 10 people I know never do this shit lol
but the steps in the video help a LOT especially when in a tight spot. I got comfortable parallel parking way before backing into a stall, because I found the cues to be helpful. I've been driving for maybe a year and yesterday got in and out of a very small spot easily.
My dps is literally a car length plus 5 inches on each side...
If you can parallel park in NYC, you can parallel park anywhere.. Unless you're on a hill in SF. Kudos to you peeps. I'm amazed at your skills to park on a steep hill like that.
Dont u turn ur wheel away from the curb when parked on a hill?
If you're parallel parked on an uphill incline and the curb is to your right, you would turn your tires to the left (away from the curb) just in case your parking brake fails, your tires will hit the curb as soon as your car starts rolling backward, which should stop your car from rolling downhill.
If you're parallel parked on a downhill decline and the curb is to your right, you would turn your tires to the right (toward the curb) just in case your parking brake fails, your tires will hit the curb as soon as your car starts rolling forward, which should stop your car from rolling downhill.
Everyone is commenting about their upcoming test. Meanwhile I have my license for about 2 months, but I'm simply bad at it.
If 7u
Same
I have my drivers ed road final today and it’s supposed to be like the license test but graded easier
and that's okay its a start to a new experience just learn everyday & be careful & when you don't know something be honest about it to yourself & learn it afterwards!
@@mina4426 you dont believe that u passed and besides, you feel happy...
I feel so stupid looking at this video. I never got it parked ever, even though I cleared my driving test. During my driving test, I hit the cone and I believe the officer didn't notice and fortunately cone didn't fall down either. I am going to try this soon to see if I can park correctly.
We're all born stupid. Staying stupid will only end in a short life. So don't be afraid, i believe in you!
I get more nervous with the thought of having to parallel park than resuscitating a dying patient (I'm a nurse).
Because this time its your life on the line and money btw
😂
DuxFeminaFacti This is the damn TRUTH!! (I’m a nurse too 😁)
@@ah_kneesha4822 Cuz a dying patient won't criticize you as opposed to the car behind you honking and the examiner's eyes piercing through your soul XD
Jessie Quinton lmfaoo exactly !
I can never tell how much room I have behind me. Always scared I'm going to hit the car then I get out and literally have 6 feet behind me.
Edit: it's been about 2 years since I posted this comment. I still suck at parallel parking.
I struggle to figure out how much room I have behind me plus my right side lol So stressful
I'm always afraid the front right side of my car is gonna hit the back left side of the car in front of me when I do that initial reverse right turn into the space.
Happens to me every time. I am short so struggle is real.
This exactly happened to me the first time I tried my road test 😪 I wussed out getting scared of hitting the cones when I had legit space to just back it up in reverse right. Would've had a good chance of passing cause they only really care for the person getting inside the parking space, and parking(when it comes to this lol of course).
Hopefully I pass now since I've gotten further practices in. 🤞🏼💯
Did you manage to pass it since? :)
I passed driving test today. This video helped me a lot.
K I N G
Congrats!!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Today I tried this 4 times. it worked every time! I'm very happy. Finally I have a solid method after so much confusion. Thank you.
MY TEST IS IN 3 HOURS!!!😬
Update: I PASSED!!😊my instructor was soooo rude though🙄
Lol
Congratulations 🎊
Congrats bro, im taking mine in October
@@Thonck- me too! so nervous
I failed my last test and he laughed when I went over the curb 😐
I never knew of these tricks, I just feel it in my heart when I must turn.
Its parking a vehicle not having a spiritual awakening. You know where u need to go and u know u cant hit the other cars. You see it in your eyes when u must turn. Lol
Thank you so much. This video is very clear and straight forward without random extra blabbering and you point out clear definitive ways to know when exactly to do the next step rather than telling us to guess. And the illustrations are great and very helpful. Thanks.
did my very first parallel park today after a month of driving. I'm back here to say thank you. i did it so perfectly my mom asked if is it really my first time doing a parallel parking.
Best tutorial ever, it is so well explained! thanks a lot!
Ya but what if it's a truck and your going for ur drive test and the instructor tells u to park behind the truck, they should be showing a car and a truck
Caleb Seaton you do the same thing. Just use the same instructions but with a truck. The truck is taller but you can still tell where to go and what to do with the mirror and stuff.
It has been 10 years since I passed my driving test, I've only parallel park 5 times. I do Bay/ reverse parking mostly. But sometimes you gotta parallel park like a pro so this video helps a lot. Thanks
My driving test was earlier today . Found this video + another yesterday . Watched a total 4 times plus 1more before waiting for my test to start. Only thing I was worried about was parallel parking as I only practiced 2 times on a different vehicle. Test results came back, I needed improvement on the rest (not make wide turns and observe more) but I did good on the parallel parking .. therefore I passed ! So happy I did ! I’d like to thank this video and the other one 🙌💕
I watched this video and understand everything clearly. I passed my driver's test in 2019, so thank you for this video! It is definitely going to help millions.
im here after my dad yelled at me bc of how bad my parking is he actually told me “go watch a YT video on it & see if u can learn bc i just can’t”😭
Kathyy szn omg my mom did the same to me today😭and my test is tomorrow😭😭😂
Am so sorry this is literally my advice to ppl just go watch a YT video.
I hit the car in front of me on my driving test when I got asked to park like this, now i'm here.
haha I failed for almost doing that
God bless your heart for creating this video
Thank you! I had my G2 test yesterday, I have been struggling with the parallel parking aspect of the test. My wife came across your video, convinced me to watch it (more than once), and I NAILED my test. Thank you so much!!!
Have seen so many methods of reverse parallel parkings but this one that I always used is the best and works every time even in tight spots. After you aligned parallel with the car in front, just reverse and turn accordingly until the kerbside headlight of the car behind appear at the corner of your car rear in your car side rear mirror (on your left side if you park reverse to the right & on your right if you reverse to the left). Then jusr reverse straight backward until the front of your car clears the back of the car in front. Then steer your wheel in the appropriate direction (left or right depending on where the parking space is) and position your car nicely between the space.
I just go full speed then drift into the parallel parking spot like im a mad man. Easy mode!
Easy but Hard to master
I've practiced twice with this video & got it on my first try each time hope I pass my test in 2 days.
Wow!
maria pluchino did you pass?
After 6 years of driving and not being able to parallel parking between two cars, your video has helped me park correctly! I watched other videos but i wasnt able to do it! Thanks so much! 🙏
If you are nervous, just know I took my road test today and I felt like I drove like absolute shit. And I passed with almost no demerits. Scans scans scans! Exaggerate the head movement. Beyond that, you are golden.
The first step is a blinker bud
Kitty Rose blinker on what side the left or right ?
@@theresakerins right
Both wrong... You'll need PARKING LIGHTS... Common sense
@@wingedstring yeah in
the dark, and the daylight ones are automatically turned on bud.
wingedstring what the fuck are parking lights
I literally didn't practice this once and didn't know it would be in the test. Then the lady's like, "ok last thing, we're going to do some parallel parking."
Somehow managed it tho. Fck that was the worst stress ever.
impressive
@@ewenmackay5777 thanks :D I mean I saw my parents do it a million times but still....not sure how I pulled that off.
good job dude
Love that I'm watching this 2 hrs before my test
Bless this video. I parallel parked perfectly on my test
Thank you so much for your lesson! For the first time in three years I managed to parallel park perfectly following your instructions.
Doing my license driving test in 10 minutes wish me luck. edit: i passed thank you for the video
I tried this once without watching a tutorial beforehand, I embarrassed myself so badly that I dropped it and drove away. After watching this, I'm pretty sure I can manage now. Thanks a lot
When I did my test 28 years ago, there wasn’t cars on the road with parking sensors and even power steering was a luxury for bigger cars. The other thing that was good then was that cars were smaller. None of this huge plastic bumpers sticking out! It was a lot easier then . I passed first time and still use things like the wiper blade connection (driver side ) to line up with the kerb on pavements. Try parking beside a quiet pavement and get out to see how comfortable you can park near the kerb, then take a visual marker in the car - like the wiper blade I mentioned- and use it when driving in to park. Works all the time.
1.5x body length....lol
A luxury.
thats exactly what I thought 😂 My father can park so that there is only about 10 centimeters between each cars.
Modec have fun getting out if nobody moves lol
@@Justin1020304 Park your car on the first space or the last one, not in between lol
my thoughts exactly. good luck w this here in nyc 😂
Good luck everyone taking their road tests. Hopefully this technique will help me pass my road test as well!!
Just taught my niece from Florida who now lives in NY this method, and she got it after 2 tries! This vid is awesome!
Parallel Parking reminds me of some Math lessons, how often are you going to use this 💀
I’ve had my license for 40 years now, and could count on one hand how many times I’ve had to parallel park. But it is sure good to know how to do it, when it is necessary.
Depends where you live. In my country it's almost literally the only way to park.
Man here in egypt all we do is parallel parking if you can’t do it you basically wouldn’t be able to get out of your car😂
I work in a busy area and to get a parking spot you need to parallel park 🤷🏼♀️
I live in a big city and parallel parking is the only way to park lol
I think , this is one of the most easy to learn and understand for Parallel Park Tutorial. Thank you for this video very soon i am going to take my road test in Honolulu.Good luck to me.
This was my driving test:
Instructor: ok, imagine there are two cars here. Parallel park.
Me: where are the ends of the cars?
Instructor: *IMAGINE THERE ARE TWO CARS HERE. PARALLELL PARK*
I mean if there are no ends just pulls through
For my test we have to use cones. Its absolute bullshit. It makes it harder when you've practiced using actual cars and then they expect you to do it perfectly with cones.
Evan Ranger I am taking my test tomorrow and my friend who took it yesterday said she couldn't even see the cones! Even when she turned her back and stuff.
Did you pass?
Ding dong so long they call it long schlong yes but I cried and had to do it twice bc i messed up the first time.... he prob was easy on me bc i bawled
I've tried many methods, and believe me, this is the most working method!
Totally helped me pass the test today. Thank you!
So much steps to remember. The easiest way to parallel park is first drive parallel as close to the vehicle until u are facing the centre of the two side doors. Turn your steering all the way in the direction of the car and reverse until the bumper of the parked car is in line with your mirrors then turn the steering wheel the other way all the way and the reverse. You will perfect park without the need to drive forward. You won't need a car + a half of space to do it but little less than a car + a quarter
Basically what the video said tho
You already know it’s gonna be hard when you hear the music playing in the background
boss music type shit 😭
Reference point or objects arroud based explanation makes this video ranked number one
Am I the only one that is gonna be taking their drivers test soon because my permit is gonna expire this year and I’ve watched this video over and over so many times for 30 days till my test just to hopefully pass it on the first try?
Man I passed my 3 years ago your chillin they make you drive down the rode and show and do some other stuff they make you show them to hazards turn signals and Sometimes They don’t even do a parallel parking
took mine a few days ago and they didn’t even ask me to parallel park lmao just back up in a straight line
Mine is tomorrow. My permit expires August 13.
Joshua Ramos did u pass?
@@aqsanoor6969 Yup
Definitely not watching parking videos as I wait outside the dmv
😂😂😪 Ahh, how'd it go?!
Stephanie TM I think he ded
@@MsSUPER511 💀
I think this example is too generous, lol! The space left for you to park is what I call "luxurious". Often times in cities, you get cars that are parked too close to comfortably follow the cues this video shows. It's Good for suburban areas, but in city? Well, you just need to experience it :P
Had to take my drivers test back in 2017. Watched this the night before and went the next day without practicing and passed lmaaaoooo this vid is too goated
I always wanted to avoid parallel parking. But today, after I was driving 10 minutes searching for a parking space just not to parallel park, I decided that it's high time to learn this.
Wow. That was pretty detailed yet straightforward. Never knew half of these tips and have been driving for over 20 years! Many thanks!
A little tip that's left out. Be sure to turn your front wheels accordingly depending on whether your car is facing up a slope or down a slope. If it's facing uphill, turn the wheels away from the curb. If it's facing downhill, turn the wheels toward the curb. If there is no curb, turn the wheels toward the side regardless of whether you're facing uphill or downhill.
P.S. I'm trying to get parallel parking and 90 degree reverse parking down for when I take my test. Those and the SMOG thing. SMOG being "Signal, Mirrors, Over the shoulder, Go"
I had my road test today and I still didn’t have a good way to parallel park. I saw this video multiple times and went to try it on my road test for it to work like a charm. Thank you!
Step 1: Look through the triangle in the back and when you see the back of the other car, turn right
Step 2: Turning right
Step 3: When the behind car’s right corner is in the left mirror, turn wheel straight
Step 4: When the right mirror covers the twilight in front, turn wheel left
Step 5: get parallel to curb
H
Do you turn all the way to the right or just once
my test is in 8 hours & im nervous as all hell.. esp w parallel parking and k turns
edit: this video actually really helped with the parallel parking! unfortunately, i still failed bc i hit a cone during my k turn ):< best of luck to everyone taking their test though!
Was a k turn?
I’m 13 I don’t even drive, I didn’t go to school today wtf am I doing.

i swear im not a fish
Good question.🤔
LMAO ME
Go to school 💚
Why do you need to drive? You're a fish. I just saw a school of sardines on my way here. It's not too late to join in.
This is absolutely FANTASTIC. I'm feeling a little more confident parallel parking. Not just having my dad yell and freak out on me, LOL.
I just bought a car and it's my first time to own one. Executing a parallel parking seems like the most challenging part to me so I practice this every midnight (minimal traffic and pedestrians) until I can execute perfectly 5 times in a row. Thanks for the video!
took my test and passed. totally bombed the parallel parking though 😂
Good to know you don't have to do it perfectly and still pass!
I already have my license and I still can't get this right lol
I was watching this video Just 30 minutes before my test and I pass it thank you so much ❤️ good luck everyone
I know this is an old video, but I had to let you know that this was a great reminder on how to parallel park! Great thorough instruction! I've been helping a younger guy I work with get ready for his G2 and that has been very helpful!
thank you ! u helped me . I passed my driving test ytd:)
Great video, but I think the speed of the movement, or rather the acceleration of it, is also very important, since if you move a bit faster, the same maneuver will result in a higher radius turn, which might leave you without space... I guess the best advice here is to do the maneuver really slowly, as shown in the video. You actually save time this way, since if you release the clutch faster and accelerate more, you will have to repeat the movement and waste a lot more time. That and depending on where you live, you might cause tension among other drivers waiting behind you...
Finally a professional, none of this three turns right, four turns left. And this was free!!
I swear to god it's easier said than done.
Don’t use God name in vain
@@AlieciaT God is not real, life is a lie, premarital sex is the bomb, and we live in a simulation controlled by the Clintons
thanks this videos..now I'm already pass in parallel parking...
Failed twice bc I didn’t know how to parallel park :( taking my road test this Thursday. Hopefully I’ll pass now
i was lucky enough to have a back up camera on my first car. made all kinds of parking super easy. but when it started going out, i just remembered this video. life saver
