    You make it way to complicated. The simple way is to: stop just next to the car in front of the spot. back up till your front side window are next to his rear side windows. then turn your steering wheel 360 degrees, back up till your back fender (from the mirror's view) reaches the edge of the kerb, then turn your steering wheel all the way to the other direction, back up, you're done. :)

  • @FinSkater17
    @FinSkater17 8 років тому +45

    You had a really complicated way of explaining. There's a much easier way. When you're ready to start reversing turn your steering wheel all the way to the right and back up until you see the whole front of the car that's behind you from your left mirror. Then straighten the wheel and back up straight until your rear tire is close to the curb (about 20cm or so) and then turn your steering wheel all the way to the left and finish the parking :)

    • @smartdrivetest
      @smartdrivetest 8 років тому +1

      What if there isn't a vehicle behind you? Many road test centres don't make students park between two vehicles - they only make them parallel park behind a single vehicle. And how does the driver know whether he or she is 20 cm or 12 inches from the curb - what marker should they use? Thanks Cheers Rick

    • @FinSkater17
      @FinSkater17 8 років тому +2

      When there isn't a car behind you it doesn't matter as much how much you turn the car because you have a lot more room to work with. And for how to know when you're 20cm (or 12 inches) away from the curb, I like to watch my right rear tire from my right mirror and I just judge the distance, that's how I was told to do it and I've never had problems with it. If you still have questions, please ask :)

    Here's an easier way, line your cars side view mirror right next to the car your parallel parking behind, once you line it up, turn the wheel all the way to the right, then once your bumper is past the vehicles bumper turn the wheel all the way to the left until straight and there you have it.

    He made this way more difficult than it needs to be. Pull up until the front your car lines with the middle of theirs . Cut the wheel fully to the direction of the curb and back up until your back tire slightly kisses the curb. You should be at about 1 o’clock. Cut the wheel fully the other way and slowly back in until straight. Boom. Works perfectly every time.

    • @freemindas
      @freemindas 2 роки тому

      You take a lot of space lining your car like that because when you reverse you will end up far behind the front car and probably hit the car behind you. I would always turn the steering wheel all the way to the curb when I see their tail light on my back passenger door. Then back up until 45 degree angle (10 o clock or 2 o clock) then straightened the wheel and with my mirror lowered just watch the back wheel get very close to the curb and then turn the steering wheel all the way to the opposite to straighten the car.

    @trefod 9 років тому +2

    The more weird fix points you need to guide you into a parallel parking space the more your technique becomes unique to a single car.
    A good rule of thumb is to use the c pillar, which is usually close to the center of the rear wheel and then turn in fully once that is passing the car parked in front of your desired space.
    Next look left over your shoulder (right for UK and other odd countries) and once your outside rear tire is about to pass the outside line of the car behind you, turn fully the other way.
    Now look forward to check that you don't graze your front against the rear of the car in front. That should do it.

      @Rudenbehr 8 років тому +1

      It's the same for me here in Washington. Unfortunately I think this is quite BS, they expect you to be perfect first time when adjustments should be ENCOURAGED. As long as you aren't holding up a city block or hitting the cars in front of you during this maneuver everything should be fine.
      Thankfully you can screw up the parallel parking test and still be able to get your license provided you do good on the rest of the road test! :)

  • @TheKateyshas
    @TheKateyshas 10 років тому +3

    The trick is to do it slow, and when cranking the wheel all the way, stay STOPPED. Don't drive and crank at the same time. STOP, CRANK (while stopped) and then reverse.

    • @2Stepzupp
      @2Stepzupp 9 років тому +2

      It's an easy way to do it, but you need to keep in mind dry-turning the wheels is also pretty bad for them, depending on road surface, causes wear-and-tear and possibly even wheel alignment issues on some roads (especially uneven bluestone gutters in some countries). Crank while moving super slowly is alright, but in the end it's just a feeling thing, when and how fast to turn. Practice makes perfect.

    Correction: You cannot go by where the other cars front seat is, as all cars are different lengths and this would be off. You need to align the ass end of the two cars, using your mirrors to approximate as best as possible.

    • @2Stepzupp
      @2Stepzupp 9 років тому +1

      Rachel Adria In Australia we have a combination of pretty much everything. Roundabouts and intersections(both give way and traffic light) are used in equal measure, and parallel and parking bays, unmarked and marked, we got them all.
      There's a time and a place for both types of parking, in the middle of the city if you didn't park parallel, good luck merging into the constant stream of traffic, you'll never find a room to reverse out of a parking bay. Whereas parallel you can just pull out, spurt of acceleration and you're golden. What i find funny is that most americans think that manual transmissions don't exist in modern cars anymore, very funny xD

    Step 1: turn blinker on and approach the spot
    You want to get right next to the spot to make sure there is enough room to park
    Check around
    Pull forward next to the car infront of the spot in front of you
    Step : 2 align your seat with the cars seat in front of your
    Put the car into reverse
    Step 3: ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE and adjust your right mirror down so you can look at the curb
    Step 4: back up straight until your REAR TIRES are EXACTLY even with the BACK of the persons bumper
    So the very end of the car
    Step 5: crank the wheel all the way to the right at around a 45 degree angle
    Keep making sure you check the distance
    Once your center pillar is RIGHT NEXT TO THE BACK BUMPER OF THE CAR or your MIDDLE LINE IN THE CAR IS NEXT TO THE BUMPER OF THE CAR
    straighten out your wheels and begin to move back in reverse straight
    Step 6: JUST BEFORE YOUR RIGHT MIRROR IS ABOUT TO PASS THE DISTANCE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR, now crank the wheel all the way to the left. ( PAY ATTENTION TO THE MIRRORS TO KEEP CHECKING EVERYTHING and distance)
    Now your car has cleared the space and do it slowly watch THE CURB ON THE RIGHT MIRROR AS YOU MAKE SURE YOU DONT HIT THE CURB. After this point shift the gear into drive and straighten out and do what you have to do to make sure the car is 6-12 inches away from the curb.
    (MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS CHECK YOUR REAR WINDOW AND YOUR RIGHT HANDED MIRROR)

  • @Timithos
    @Timithos 8 років тому

    Some people are just more challenged right or left brain-wise for backing up. I have a friend and my mother who can't back out of a straight driveway, even though the car's wheels are ALREADY lined up, and the driveway is straight. They make all kinds of unnecessary wheel turns, and weave their way down the driveway like they're pretending to be a snake. (My landscaping timbers in my driveway can attest. They are destroyed!) So there is a tip for parallel parking too. Stop making unnecessary turns. On most all my parallel parks, I turn the wheel only 3 times - right, straight, left, and I'm in. If you can't do it most of the time with 3 wheel turns, then you're doing it WRONG. I noticed in this video, that this guy had a bunch of unnecessary wheel wobbles, so this was probably a challenge for him to parallel park back in the day.

  • @Nothaut
    @Nothaut 6 років тому

    1. Line up your car next to the other car so that your rear bumper/wheels aligns with theirs.
    2.Start reversing and fully turning till you can see the whole front end of the car BEHIND you in the sideview mirror.
    3.Straighten the wheel and continue reversing till your front bumper passes the rear bumper of the car in FRONT of you.
    4. Turn the wheel to put yourself behind the car.
    5. Adjust the distance by going forwards a little
