I drive and practice using a vehicle that has no power steering (old and only thing we have to eat any bumps and scratches!), trying to attempt a 90 degree parallel is absolutely impossible, to pull it off I have no choice but to approach the first step 4:58 already in a 45 degree angle

I passed my test more than 10 years ago but I’ve never driven. I had some refresher lessons but my instructor discontinued due to some family event. So here I am, sitting in my car in an empty car park, watching these videos practising my manoeuvres.

Its good that people make these videos to help others but if that was parking in between 2 cars you never make it. The DVA should be telling instructors that once their students have successfully parked like this they should be teaching them to park in tighter spots. Driving lessons are costly and for that people should be taught absolutely everything!

OMG, I WISH my instructor taught me how you do! Thank you so much for your videos! They are extremely helpful! I will try your technique to parallel park this evening.

Hey man I know you might not see this but your videos helped me so much! I had a years gap in driving and basically forgot everything. My test was booked 2 weeks away and my instructor was too busy for any lessons. I watched your videos and they helped me so much. I ended up passing first time with only 4 minors!! Thank you again.

Hey Francis! Just want to say that your videos help me a lot in passing my test yesterday! Your videos are educational & entertaining, wont get bored watching over and over! Thank you 😇

Hello Francis, I passed my test today first attempt with no fault. Thank you for your videos.

Your video's has been helping me with my driving lessons with Wimbledon driving school. Im only 10 lessons in 2hours each lesson and book my test before December 2020. Thank you for sharing your tips for free. Iv learnt alot from your video and so simple to understand.

My favourite videos are your lessons with Marcus 😊 Great duo.

All Great videos in this channel. I watched many of them repeatedly and passed my practical test on first instance with 4 minor fault. Of course my own instructor helped me but these videos are awesome

Thankyou so much for this clip you have explained the reference points so well and I will absolutely be using this ☺️👍

The student was delighted! Very sweet

I did parallel parking yesterday in my lesson and its not as bad as I first thought it would of been. Will be going over this again tomorrow in my next lesson as my test is in 4 weeks time. And this is the last manovere I need to practice on. But not as daunting as I first imagined :) this is the method my instructor taught me and it works perfectly. Great video Francis 👍

You seem like a great calm instructor. I feel like mine just gives out to me all the time. Then he tells me at the end I’m a good driver so I dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️ test next week and I’m so nervous even though I know what to do

Best parallel parking video out there

I'm continue watching to your video it is really helpful thanks for sharing to us.

Brilliant mate

I struggle with this. I use the same reference points but it seems in that middle turn of the steering wheel (the 2 turns bit) so much depends on how fast you're reversing and how fast you turn the steering wheel. I get it right 1/2 the time. Other 1/2: hit the kerb or end up 2 feet away. Seems like a narrow window to get it right.

@mw2m125

If your in a different car to him your reference points may be different don’t just guess practice and each time take a mental photo until you finally get it in perfect at that point you’ve found the reference points for you, just use that unless you change cars or seating position and they should not change if your getting to for away or touching it. Then it’s the problem with the last double turn. I use a different method personally but if you follow his then turn twice slightly before to get further away or later to get closer but like I say find the right one and do not forget it.

Francis,finding your videos really useful,my confidence has gone,have not driven for ten years,

He’s just like me , saying yeah ok but not getting it at all🥺🥺🥺 need demonstration like the animations

Similar to how I've learnt it! May I also say I've been doing this thing with my instructor when we driving through roads and see cars parked and I indicate to show I'm passing the vehicle and cancelling the signal after so they won't think I'm turning left I haven't seen this in alot of driving videos I think it might be helpful

All well and good until you're in a town centre, cars behind you waiting, one small bay with cars parked either side, high kerbs to scuff your rims and some rain on your mirrors to top it off.

The reference point I was taught in an Audi a1 worked fine. However in my car It seems different and slightly off.

I failed my test one minute in, executed the parallel park perfectly but because I didn’t check my blind spot I failed, unclear on if I have to repeatedly check my mirrors and blindspot whilst doing the manoeuvre

Thats very accurately shown, but what if the cars aren't parked so far away from each other and all you want to do is just sell the car, and buy a new one when you come back wherever you tried park on front of

Hi Francis, Thank you for this useful video So when you said full turn to the left, is that a full lock to the left?

That student is very good. I'm got my license and still can't parallel park lol

Hi would you please advice what to do if we are doing parallel park and other cars are waiting from front n back both because I start panicking as soon as cars arrives therefore I cant do my manoeuvre properly.

Hello and thanks for good videos for inspiration♥️ Can i ask which camera u normally use to recording?

Thanks dear i was confused if i block other car what i do now i get it once again thanks

i've been driving for 3 years now and i still don't understand parallel parking! to be fair, i've never had to do it since my lessons. thanks for the helpful video 😊

Does the back door handle have to touch the kerb or front?

If you drive up next to a car to reverse park, how do you warn others than you are going to stop there to reverse. Reverse lights?

Do you have a video on parking in a bay or reverse parking into a bay?

I thought when turning right in parallel parking the steering has to be quick?

When you say the doorhandle should "touch" the kerb. Is that the back door handle or front?

Are you sure you need to signal because I’ve never been advised to signal while parallel parking by any instructors?

@jakerockznoodles

2 жыл бұрын

In a test you probably wouldn't but irl it's good practice if you're, for example, parking in your street and notice cars coming from behind. If you're just stopped and still pointing straight, the cars behind may think you plan to keep moving forward. Indicating left suggests you may be trying to park and they should thus should give you the space to move back. I don't think it's a legal requirement, but especially on narrow residential streets it would be advisable.

I wouldn't say that this hard, i have done it 5 times and it was allright

Are the two right turns half or full

You didn't tell him to check his blind spot before the car swung out. Luckily he did it himself.

Great video, good points but why is the "student" shuffling the wheel instead of "hand-over-handing" the wheel?

Is it when the rear door handle or the passenger door handle "touches" the kerb you start turning?

My driving instructor told me that i am not allowed to tilt my left door mirror downwards before this manoeuvre, could someone confirm if this is true? im finding it difficult to see the kerb.

Maybe his personal preference

iam too much nervous of a driver to go through all these bs.I got a bike.

How far apart are the cones? 15 feet?

Sometimes i do this and i end up being too far from the curb, what am i doing wrong?

I used to be able to do this so well. but after a ten year break from driving I stink at it now

when most instructors said u gotta turn full left lock turn until u angle at 45 degree, then stop, straighten and back up. Whereas U said ONE FULL TURN but there is NO REFERENCE point as to how much to turn till straightening, though u said the door handle touches the kerb, which is very confusing and NOT SHOWN visually in this video, if we saw how it looks like "door handle touching the kerb", it would be much easier. Also do u think ONE SINGLE STERRING TURN in ur car matches same angle in every car?

He is good he will pass

Why no one ever mentioned which door handle? Back handle or the handle passenger next to me?

I think what they’re saying here is that parallel parking is complicated but not complex, which is a view I share.

I keep going to look in the interior mirror instead of out the back when I reverse, for some reason I just can't remember. Any tips or just practice? Also have you had many pupils pass who haven't had private practice?

My driving instructor makes me turn my head completely and look at my back window when reversing. He dosent let me use the side mirrors at all which makes it more difficult for me. I know he's qualified but I think looking at my interior and side mirrors will help me more.

@GetDriving

4 жыл бұрын

He is definitely making it far more difficult for you by not letting you use your mirrors. The way he is teaching you will perhaps allow you to develop additional skill, so don't give up on it yet. Perhaps have a discussion about it the next time you have a lesson? Best of luck!

When turning 1 to the left and going back what door handle is your reference point? The back door handle or the front passenger door handle?

The ‘turn your steering wheel one turn then two turns’ just does not work. I’ve been using that method and each and every time, the car touches the kerb. There’s just not enough turn in one turn and then two turns…..

pizzA method???

Are you a driving instructor?

I never turn my steering wheel quick enough, it’s beginning to annoy me rather than just stress me out

5:07 Jehovah Witness’ must’ve been over the moon to see fellow learners practising how to park in front of their building😂

Why are they doong this with no car behind the other car?

That is a ridiculous parking space for London. People here routinely reverse park in spaces only 2ft longer than their vehicles.

Don't turn your whole body for checking your blind spot ,

1oclock method is so much easier
