    Thank you! I'm 19 and have my drive test Wednesday. I learned how to do this in drivers ed but I forgot and my mom didn't know how. Also, just a note, how close you stay to the curb is different in other states. In WA, it's 12 inches.

      +Bethany Brown I just failed my test today (because I didn't do this correctly), and the instructor said 18 inches. Did it change recently?

    • @gogeeks96
      @gogeeks96 8 років тому +6

      blueshogun96 it depends on your state. In mine, it's 12 inches.

      Bethany Brown I'm also in WA, but I just heard differently though. But it's not the first time I've been told something different. I'll just be glad if I pass the darn test tomorrow :)

      +Bethany Brown In Washington and going to 911 Driving School Puyallup. It's 18. 12 is for parking, for the most part.

    I live in Bremerton, Washington and this is how I taught my son, but when he did it on his test, he failed. The instructor wanted him to use just his mirrors. WT Flagnog? Now they want him to sit through an 80 dollar class just prior to his equally spends drivers test! This system is corrupt!!

      I live in the Sammamish area and failed my first test because of this. I went right from the driving school to backing around a corner without any time before hand to get comfortable on the road. The instructor had me back around a CURVE not even a corner, and on a street with a super short soft curb. One of the wheels brushed against the slope of the curb and then went off. She took me back to the driving school and told me I failed and I am a "danger behind the wheel." I didn't even get to finish my test. Gotta take it tomorrow and praying I have a different instructor.

    Glad the video helped. Backing around a corner is a tricky maneuver that definitely requires practice and some technique. And I agree that its best to master this on a flat road then go for the hills.

    Thanks for watching the video and providing feedback. I agree that there are many different types of corners and some, such as very sharp corners, require varying the technique. Maybe we need a follow-on video with a couple of more extreme corners...

    The reference point is defined at 01:34. It is the point at which the rear window meets the curb in the first part of the backing maneuver.

    taking my drive test today, only thing i'm worried about is the little things like making sure your tires have air, license plate is on, nothing blocking the rear windshield, if i'm allowed to re adjust myself when pulling into a parking spot or backing into one. but i think i got this

  • @igottadrivecom
    @igottadrivecom  12 років тому +1

    You're welcome. Good luck on the test and let us know how you do.

  • @igottadrivecom
    @igottadrivecom  12 років тому

    Many of these are situational. For example, the U-turns can be either depending on how they are marked. Backing around a corner is OK when done properly, with a full stop, proper signalling, etc. It is never legal to back-up on a 4 lane and other situations that are inherently dangerous.

  • @igottadrivecom
    @igottadrivecom  11 років тому +4

    There is a big difference between driving fast and speeding - and there is an appropriate place for driving fast. If you want to drive fast, go to a race track. You will find out very quickly why people shouldn't be driving fast on the street as they don't have the appropriate skills and it is a dangerous situation. It's interesting to watch people who think they can drive well when they get on a race track...

    I do not agree with this method...I work for a private driving school in northern Illinois. My students love my method, but, it takes practice to master... it's the hardest maneuver to learn, but once you get it, you get it! When it looks like the back of the car is even with the curb that you backing up around you are actually about 7 feet from the curb. It is and illusion because you are looking at it from the inside of the car. This is when you should... (1) turn the wheel quickly to the RIGHT to start getting around the curb. At this point you want to... (2) start looking FORWARD down the lane you are backing up into while slowly turning the wheel to the left. This is where the difference comes in. The wider the street the more you turn the wheel to the left. (3) when you are just about parallel to the lane you are backing up into turn the wheel a little bit harder to the left just enough to go straight back. Just remember, do not turn the wheel any further to the left than to go back straight because you will start drifting to the left. Back up a couple of car lengths so the examiner can see you're backing up ability. Good luck! You can do it! Cathy 🚙

    Keep working on those markers and review the video a few times prior to the test. Also, don't forget to watch the preparation video...

    Is backing around a corner actually legal? Just wondering because in a lot of places, U-turns are illegal even though many people do them.
