    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.

      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 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.

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 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.

    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'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.

    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.

      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. 🤞🏼💯

    • @smartdrivetest
      @smartdrivetest 7 років тому +113

      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

    • @pkwiva
      @pkwiva 4 роки тому +12

      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.

    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

    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.
