It's a useful tool, but for some parks, (such as getting the car onto my drive at home) I actually find it more effective to use the mirrors. I would say best practise is knowing how to use the camera, but never to rely on it

Your video makes using the camera look much better than the description in the manual. Thanks, Richard, for making this informative video.

Hi Richard Your videos are so much informative.I understand the effort you put into it to make the leaners to grasp it clear. I passed my test 3 months ago but still I watch your videos to learn something new and to be a safe driver. Thank you so much for explaining how to use the guided lines on the reverse camera.

I see comments from many younger or new drivers who appreciate your excellent instruction and explanations. I am an older American driver 61 and I have learned alot from your videos. I just bought a new Kia Niro with the bendy lines back up camera and appreciate the explanation on how to properly use those grid lines. Glad I found your channel and subscribed. Now I need to watch some more videos on Roundabouts a road type nearly alien to Americans and guaranteed to make me have sweaty palms. 😅

I didn't realise I needed this.. but it was brilliant! Just got my first car with a rear camera and didn't know what it was doing! Looking forward to practicing this now, and also just gave my daughter her first driving lesson (in an older car) and your tips for parking and lining things up first, and also not going past 45º are invaluable! Many thanks! Big 👍

Thanks so much for your very informative videos, Richard! Passed my test on the 7th of this month with only 2 minors but still watch these videos and ones I've missed for things that are trickier for me (like reverse bay parking) when I'm out on my own. Really great videos. Good luck to anyone else who has a test coming up.

Thank you so much for this. I recently started driving after passing my test. Was very nervous to drive after i got a scratch on my car a few days ago from taking a too tight turn badly. Did a parallel park in one try by myself today, the first since I took lessons. This, along with your other parallel park in a tight spot video was very helpful.

This video could not have come at a better time! I’d been driving an old Ka (2004) for over 18 years. It was a lovely little car but very basic. Recently I upgraded to a new i10 with reverse parking cameras! Your video has been great, helping me get to grips with lining up the guide lines etc when parking! It’s a little different to doing reverse manoeuvres old school style, but I’m very much enjoying the extra assistance! Keep up the excellent work my friend.

63-year-old, about to have a reversing camera for the first time.. so this is very handy ,thank you! Being an old geezer, I do feel a bit sorry for your front tyres when you turn them to full lock without crawling a little bit.. back in the day before power steering, the effort would have put folks off from doing that, anyway 😊

Big thanks from Iraq....You are a real help...I really appreciate your teaching lessons ...they help me too much..may god bless your life.

9:18 “Drive - Incubus” made me laugh out loud. Keep living & breathing driving. Your passion for it (and succinct way you teach) has not only made driving more accessible/knowledge-equipped, you’ve made driving genuinely fun. As someone who didn’t get properly into driving until mid-20’s, I’m glad that when I finally did, it was to stumbling on your lessons early. Even having passed my test a year ago, I still watch your videos regularly. Thanks for helping me shape best habits from the start to become a better driver today. 🎉

My missus reckons I abandon our new car instead of parking it. Despite having had a Class I license I am useless at parking our Honda Civic so your video has been a real eye opener, thanks very much. Now to practice what I learned.

What an excellent tutorial! I am going to share it with a friend who has just started driving after a break.

Great topic! My next car will have a reverse cam as opposed to my current one having sensors so this video is really useful.

Passed this morning, 2nd time with 0 minors! after a catastrophic 1st with 3 serious and 7 minors 3 weeks ago (with the same examiner). Conquer Driving is the best channel I've come across for clear and simple explanations and I could not have done it without the tips. I always struggled with anxiety, woke up last night 5 times with my heart pounding. Believe me, the feeling of passing is worth all the driving test worries. Brighter days ahead, and never give up.

Wishlist from your channel: I suggest you make one video teaching how to deal with emergency vehicles (e.g. police patrols, ambulances, fire engines) with their flashing sirens and alarms on, in a driving exam with failing the exam. I read there are so many examinees failed their test just because these vehicles with sirens rushing towards or from behind. One even failed just because giving way to an ambulance plus a police vehicle but went out of the roundabout giveway line, so his examiner failed him. That could make so many learners feel either nervous or anxious since they won't face too many times in their real practices and very hard to build up such experiences. You can't make it happen by your own, you just can wait by luck or bad luck. So better teach them a little detailed, and make the rules and laws clear and avoiding from failing test by sirens.

Well, that largely depends on your car's turning circle. On some (like Ford Focus Mk3 ST with notoriously bad turning radius, omg is that car hard to park in tight spaces) you have to use full lock to parallel park, on some (like old C-Class Mercedes with very impressive turning circle, that bastard can turn on a dime) full lock is often way too much.

Its weird. My first car i bought was a beaten, riced out 206 with tinted windows in the back and no driver assists whatsoever. mechanical mirrors and you could barely see anything what was going on behind you, especially in the dark. The 5 speed manual, the 1.4l engine, open front diff with no TC/ESC and the solid rear axle with absolutly no weight on it whatsoever combined with worn tires. just looking at the handbrake during winter would make you do a 180. i loved it so much, it made me a proper driver. I could wedge this thing through any gap when there was just a hairs width of extra space and park anywhere completely blind. I know the gears so precisely i could basically shift without the clutch. I drove it for 6 years until last month and now i finally got myself my first "modern" Car. A beautiful 2016 rs3. And i actively have to remind myself that i actually have stuff like a reverse camera or parking sensors now but i will always rely on my gut feeling of where the car is, even if its so much wider I mean driving long distance for example is so much more relaxed but this tiptronic can never match the feeling of control a manual gives you. greetings from Germany

To do one covering parking situations that you tend to encounter as a driver regularly but that wouldn't feature on the driving test (such as bay parking and parallel parking when there are cars already parked either side of the bay or cars in front and behind you when parallel parking) and 2. A short video about filling up your car with petrol or diesel and plugging an electric car in to charge ie. what you have to do at a service station that you wouldn't be taught by your instructor.

Hi, Thank you for the informative video. I was wondering if you are planning to do a similarly instructed motorway video soon? I have passed for a while now but still scared to go on motorways particularly with giving way to oncoming slip roads and merging into/ switching lanes.

Good evening Richard just watch your video. About reverse parking by using a fixed camera. I have a review reversing camera. Which i never use as i was taught to use my wing mirrors way back in 1983. Also on my driving lessons i was taught how to do a 3 point turn and reversing around a corner.

I learnt to drive in a Toyota CHR which had a reverse camera and found it much easier to do parking. When I passed my test in 2022 my first car was a VW polo and I made sure it had a reserve camera. My new car is a VW T Cross (yes I love VW cars lol) and it has a reverse camera. Although I appreciate having a reverse camera I do try not to rely on my camera too much in case something happens one day and it's not working.

good tutorial thanks

I wish the instructors were as informative with all your tips as you on lining up cars etc. when I was learning to drive (PS everyone these tips stay with you for life) Didnt get that in the day only on the parallel parking, nothing on how to judge how near your front is to curb or which way to turn the wheel for the direction you wanted -hence these videos are an eye opener as I am STILL a terrible parker . Now I have a camera I know what lines to looks at - 🖕🖕🖕

Very helpful! My new car has cameras so this was very educational and helpful for me. It does look as though, depending on the camera setup per different car models, you can get closer than the red line suggests without actually touching the car? Seems the red line still leaves a big gap 🤔

@ConquerDriving

Жыл бұрын

The cameras I've tried are quite similar in regards to the guidelines.

Nice MX-5. I think my neighbour goes right up to the red line and stops there. As I haven't got sensors, this is a complete pain particularly if the car behind me parks similarly close. Sensors or not, people still need to leave space

Great Safety feature show things on ground such as small kids animals etc and nasty posts. Never compromise the all round observation!

Hi... the video is great .. however I faced problem if the car parked next is protruding way out, Usually its the big cars like Vellfire or Alphard

very useful 🚗

I prefer my right angle reverse park, although I get that it can be very challenging for learners, particularly if the bays either side are occupied. Also, even for me if one of the cars is badly parked it's a no no and I have to find another space.

I was gonna get a reverse camera fit to my car from Halfords, but put it off just due to expenses but since then I've gotten more confident at reverse parking, in fact, I prefer it to front parking, I actually find it easier - would you still recommend a camera at this point?

@ConquerDriving

Жыл бұрын

Reverse parking is physically easier for the car due to how it steers and the mirrors help you see where you're going. Given the option I will have a reverse camera as it makes it safer and easier.

Is it true that we can add these reverse cameras to older cars (a 2002 Polo for example)

I don't have this but am confused. Do you steer as if you were driving forward when looking at the camera?

I was only ever taught the 90 degree reverse. I got it down, but the other method seems a lot easier and safer tbh.

i do not have a revserse camera but my 2004 T3 corolla 3 door hatchback has really good all round visibility ,I think being too reliants on a reversing camera can affects your situational. arewareness

Maybe a mute point but when I was taking lessons in 1966 and advanced driving in 2000 I was told that my wheels must be rolling before I start to turn steering wheel. This prevents scuffing wear on front tyres. Comments, advice would be appreciated.

Can you please make a video on front sensors ? Are they really helpful? I hit my new car's front left corner of bonet last week, wish I had front sensors! :( Is the front left judgement of hatchback that much difficult? How should I have avoided hitting it? Please guide.

My car has a camera without guidelines or a sensor so it’s definitely more of an aid than something I completely rely on

Is back camera using legal during driving Test In India ??

while what you teach here is right for using the reversing cameras, if you got the static lines on screen, and compare the furthest lines with the parking space lines and the nearest lines, you can actually reverse in a near enough straight line rather than snaking the car into a parking spot, plus you won't need to input as much steering once lined up correctly. as you put 1/4 of a turn in all the time in this video by not looking at the bigger picture, it does take time and practice, but once you mastered that, the cars with the steering input moving lines are simple.

I though the guidelines are supposed to move as you steer?

i assume this method will work the same on a completely full car park?

@ConquerDriving

Жыл бұрын

Yes, just make sure you look around so that you don't hit a car with the front of your vehicle as well as the rear.

Curious, the way that it's done here seems a bit fiddly, with many small corrections while parking. The way I do it myself is essentially going for a "good enough" first attempt where I just need to be within the lines, and if I don't happen to be exactly in the middle, I do a correction by driving a little bit forward, before going back again. End result is the same, and to me personally it's easier because I don't have to worry too much about getting it perfect on the first try, which allows me to better observe what's happening around me. Would my technique be acceptable on a driving test as well, or would that be a potential issue?

As long as you're safe, have good observations, good control of the car and finish the manoeuvre then you should pass.

At 1:11 it is clear from outside camera that you will have to steer to left, to be in parking lot. However, at 1:15 display from back camera suggest that you will have to steer to right. is it due to camera setting (mirror image) ? I'm confused. At 16:56, bendy lines apper turning in opposite direction to the movement of steering..
