How to reverse parallel park in a tight space - 4 easy steps and how to correct

[@Jo-lb5vt]

Thank god someone finally did a parallel park video in a realistic space! All of the other videos have spaces you could park a bus in.

i have a driver license since i was 16y old (the government had to let me pass driver license test and give me license at young age because the school of auto mechanics i finished required driving license to issue the certificate), i passed the tests and got my driver license without a problem back then, but i had no chance to drive a car up until recently when i bough a new car... but since i am 36y old now and more aware and more careful and overthinking way more than i was at young age, i had tons of fear about driving now... luckily i found your channel and watched almost all of your videos and easily started driving again without any problem using your techniques and tricks. and i am from Macedonia where we drive on the right side, but again your videos were really helpful :) thanks for the great content and for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us all, keep up the great work and best wishes.

Passed 3 months ago and had no issues with parallel parking until I’d actually passed.. I live on a main road and always need to fit in gaps like this while traffic waits for me at rush hour. It’s a-lot different from doing it on an empty street like I did on my driving lessons and I feel the added pressure. Hopefully It’ll come easier with practice! Thanks for the video! Very helpful

[@teodortodorov1662]

Yes, I haven`t done parallel parking after I got my driving lisence, because my car doesn`t have the parking back camera and parking sensors like the car I drove on my driving course

[@laurawasley2453]

Thank you for this video. I’ve only had my licence for 6 months and I felt embarrassed just now when I had to shuffle back and forth a lot to get into a tight spot. Now I will remember your advice and not worry about shuffling when it’s needed 😀

[@OanhTran-st2fn]

I'm learning with my instructor and watching many KZbin videos about parallel parking so I can tell this has been the most detailed, insightful explanation I've ever watched. Thanks so much!

[@melmarapearl]

Very clear instructions. Thank you for showing the actual view in the mirror, I find that it makes me more comfortable to gauge how to maneuver the car as a driver rather than just the step-by-step instructions that driving schools sometimes offer.

[@bitiboy786]

This guy deserves an award, great explanations. Thank you so much

Thank you from Melbourne. I passed my drive test, bought a car but not confident to reverse park and drive in freeways. All your videos are very helpful.

[@malina5268]

i found ur english speaking is the best in all instructors, i wish i stay ur area, u r teaching proper good, ur english pronouncasion is soo clear word by word, i drive with my intructor two hours of time and i dont understand what he is saying in most of the time cus he is speaking soooo fast and i cant catch and even i dont know what he is talking about most of the time, i mentioned twice to speak slove wird by word and use easy english words but not , sadly people says he is one of the best instructor in my area, so i will watch ur videos and drive his car i think this what i can do for now

[@KirstenTulloch-y1x]

Honestly, I wish I had an instructor like you!!!!

[@omari6108]

I’m not sure if it’s because your easy to listen to, but hearing you say not to risk backing into the car behind you, when parallel parking, is great advice. Playing it safe when driving is the best thing you can, and should do.

[@tanmayvij7191]

I did my first reverse parallel park today in a spot roughly 2 car lengths and unluckily the spot I was getting into, was inclined towards the curb. So gravity made it a little harder for me but eventually, the tips I learned from your videos helped me! Thank you!

This is the best driving channel I have ever come across.

[@edwardtye4119]

3:12 - An alternative is to do what Gru does in Despicable Me, and simply ram the other cars out of the way. Very effective at increasing wiggle room, but your insurance might go up and your neighbours may slightly hate you for it. Also, could you make a video on merge in turns? I find it difficult to judge whether to slow down or speed up, or tell what other drivers are doing/want me to do.

[@virajparikh4016]

Hi, I love your videos. I’ve been driving for 20 years but just recently bought a manual car and I’ve been watching your videos and learning a lot. I haven’t found anything that helps me with my issue. I need to reverse up my driveway and then back into my garage. That seems to be my biggest issue right now. I get to the bite point and the car gets going but if I give too much gas it goes fast and if I don’t give enough, it goes forward. I feel like I’m going to wear the clutch. The other worry is reversing into a flat parking spot without going too fast

[@jamiespinks3179]

Parallel park is the manoeuvre I'm stuck on, thank you so much for this! 4:22 ah of course, the Austin Powers method!

[@mrzadahmed4651]

another gud way to tell if ur close to the curb or not is when the front cars license plate or the logo intersects in the middle of ur front window.for judging the back i always rely on my parking sensor and camera guidelines.for judging the 45 degree, i use my B pillar when it aligns with the back tail light of the front car it means im already at 45degree. and i think u have to see the full car(back one) with a lil space in ur wing mirror for confirmation of adding the 45 degree. specially if the space is very tight u need to be at a sharper angle for entering the space.if the back car is way far back then u will see the full car even before completing the 45degree. thats wat i notice from my experience.so there is no hard n fast rule of using reference points just use ur own judgement that will help.

Great video I have been struggling w parallel parking since I started driving. The other day I spent nearly half an hour trying to get in to a space and I still couldn't and I think by now my new neighbours probably thinks am crazy the way I was screaming at my car 😄😄. And after I have moved away, some guy came and parked a whole van in the same space 😲 so the space wasn't small it's just that I couldn't. And watch this video I just realised what have been doing wrong. When i leveled with the car am parking next to, Am too far back into to the space am going into so this leaves me with less space to get in. And it's great to know am not the only one telling my reverse sensors to shut up! 🤣🤣🤣

Never had a problem to reverse park during my driving lesson. Once I passed and got my own car things changed 😂😂😂 have to relearn to park in tighter spaces, with no reverse camera. It takes me 1000 moves probably but I can't risk hitting other cars. The spaces are incredibly small too, and even if my car is small, I still struggle at the moment. I'm here to learn lol

[@sroberts605]

Interesting, always more than one way to skin... What I do is, looking round I aim the corner of the car to the middle of the space, then I usually continue this course just a little bit more than my own judgement (I don't know why, but otherwise I end too far from the curb) before straightening. Works every time!!
