Parallel Parking: Too far or too close to the curb? Here’s how to fix it

Parallel Parking: Too far or too close to the curb? Here’s how to fix it. In this video I discuss the main probleams that can lead to you being too far or too close to thre curb when parking. Like the size of the vehicles we’re parking, or the ones we’re parking next to, our position when aligning ourselves with the reference points and so on.

The animations are perfect, the explanations are clear and leave no room for confusion, and the editing with the head camera side by side with the car camera (like at 3:44) REALLY just puts it all over the top. You're helping so many students and you're such a great teacher, thank you!

Just passed my road test and im commenting this on all the videos I watched to help me pass. Thank you so much for your help. Getting a license especially in New York (where im from) is a huge deal when you live far from public transportation. So thank you for relieving the stress I had for years about it. Message to the test takers, Do not focus on the instructor or whatever they’re doing when you’re taking your test. Just listen to their directions, pay attention and focus on the road. The test is really short and simple, there is no tricks or gimmicks. Good luck!

[@starz1259]

Congratulations on passing your test. I agree with you about not focusing on what your Driving test examiner is doing, but listening to their instructions and focusing on the road. I'm from and live in the UK, we have some of the busiest and narrowest roads and streets It seems in the world imo. Lol. I failed my first test mainly through nerves but my 2nd test was around 3 months later, I kept noticing that the examiner ((who happened to be the same one who had previously failed me!) Kept checking his watch. I thought to myself keep driving, don't let him get to you, I'm going to do this in my own time!(wellwithin reason of course!) I finished the exam and I passed! My driving instructor was so pleased he picked me up and spunned me around. When driving me back home he then told me, that the car had had problems starting that morning, and he was just hoping that I would start it first time! I'm so glad that I didn't know that before the test!. Can't believe that was 38 years ago this year! I still have problems with parallel parking though, and prefer to park where there plenty of space.

What a fantastic, concise explanation! This is my biggest and only problem when driving but having a physical visual reference is great to have along with the 1-2-1 method (1 whole turn of the steering wheel to the right and then 2 to the left and then 1 to the right again). You're a lifesaver!

Some of the best videos because you talk about realistic scenarios and cover variables encounters in real driving. All other videos neglect the size of the car being driven, the size of the cars being parked between, and so on, but you don't. You cover them and make it known that there are exceptions and that it's not a silver bullet answer. It's fantastic!

Failed my first advanced road test so now I am trying again next week and parallel parking is a big thing for me. I don't want my dad helping me practice as he can get heated when i do something wrong. 10 years of driving and I should know this skill but I rarely avoid parallel parking as its not something I do. Great videos. They are really outstanding. You put so much depth into explaining and talking about different size of vehicles. I have a new SUV so haven't had practice with parallel parking unlike my old elantra.

[@gurlfiend76]

OMG, yes this is exactly what’s been happening to me and has made me want to give up and take my test this coming Tuesday! I’m either too far away or I’m on top of the freaking curb! I can’t seem to judge the distance I’m taking the test in a car with a rear camera which they allow you to keep on, but they watch you like to make sure that you are using your mirrors more than the camera I’m going to watch this video until it’s memorized and just keep parallel parking until Tuesday morning at 10:45 AM and pray that I got it.

I just passed my road test after watching this! I had driving lessons and the instructor just taught me that I need to turn the wheel once completely once to the right then reverse and line up at a 45 degree angle then make two full turns to the left and continue reversing. It worked sometimes but I wasn’t consistent. I was panicking because yesterday I couldn’t get it down and had my road test today, then I came across this video. What saved me was lining up the cars license plate in the middle of the passenger side window before turing the wheel to the left and continuing. I practiced that over and over again and it’s worked every time! Thank you so much!

I've always been taught the triangle side mirror method: lower side mirror so that you can reverse to the curb and reverse up until the curb makes a small triangle at the corner of the mirror with the back wheel, then turn in. It's kinda annoying because you actually have to lower the mirror first so it takes longer in traffic, and it's hard to see at night especially in a low lit area.

I have been driving since 1966. The key to parallel parking is to learn and know your vehicle. When I started driving there were no cameras. We had only the mirrors and turning your head to watch outside. I now drive a large SUV. It has cameras. Because of its size I have to use the cameras, but I also still use the mirrors and turning my head as best possible. I have no issues parallel parking with this SUV. It is 19 feet long, 7 feet wide, and over 6 feet high.

Nice vid. Question/s, how close should you be from the car next to you before attempting to park? How about parallel parking at the drivers side?

Parking spots are mostly tight like bumper-to-bumper tight.
