How to Park Using a Reverse Camera - Car Parks and Parallel Parking

[@Jwnewall]

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. Thank you Conquer Driving!

[@ConquerDriving]

That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!

[@iKloudz]

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.

[@takyiyakvsi]

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

[@Nature_adventure]

I have watched a lot of your videos, and they are really educative. Thank you!

[@ParcoLee]

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.

[@paperworkshops723]

Supported, it will be very useful to novice.

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for your suggestion.

[@adrianridgway4333]

I thought I had failed my test because I heard a fire engine and the examiner noticed me looking for it and told me where it was. In my feedback the examiner told me he was just helping out and everything was fine so I passed.

[@fus149hammer5]

I would have thought that as you are a non qualified learner driver and the examiner is legally in charge of the vehicle he or she should take over responsibility and instruct you about what to do in this event or else if an emergency vehicle approaches you during your test you are guaranteed to fail.

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

@@adrianridgway4333 I remember my mock test, the instructor took the wheel before I had time to react. He told med that he saw a good space to pull over, and didn't want to wait to put me to the test, because it was more important to give way for the emergency vehicle.

[@somerandomweeb4836]

I wish these cameras would be more commonplace, it'd save me a lot of stress and learning. I find parking to be the hardest part of handling a car since I'm very bad at judging small distances.

[@thepurdychannel8866]

Keep doing it you will get better using lines, your mirrors and door handles as a reference helps

[@adrianridgway4333]

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

[@brandonwawman190]

Just passed my driving test today thanks to a lot of your videos! Thank you for these 🤟🏻

[@ConquerDriving]

That's fantastic news! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!

[@lovetwofly111]

Thanks Richard for making this detailed video. It is extremely helpful!

[@HT-jy7dv]

Hahaha as someone who didn’t learn with a reversing camera I’m glad u brought out this video. I normally just guess 😅😂😂😂 stubborn me

[@aprillroberts]

Just had a new Aygo needed this. Thank you

[@Val_tini.]

Awesome instructions… Thank you so much!!!

[@Casavult]

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]

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

[@pdegrote6172]

If you see this video than is it also easy, but however you must see the lines bright. If you will park your car in the parkingplace and the lines are not so bright, than it will be difficult.

[@stellita884]

Next time I rent a car I’ll make sure to bring a ruler. Seems like a much needed accessory along with the triangle and jacket

[@marzi_kat]

Don't forget to get compass too 😁

[@VegaPhil]

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

[@pengbertuuu]

The lines are at the ground level. You don’t want to aim the line to the bumper above ground level.

[@DC3Refom]

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

[@stev5293]

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

[@---kv5kh]

if you get that close to the car behind and someone else gets that close to you in front then you are in a pickle .... I use courtesy distance of 1 foot which if a car parks behind the back car, or a car parks in front of me there is enough maneuver room to get out of the space

[@CosgroveNotts]

How much room do you need?

[@ivormectin8882]

Next Video: Driving Instructor Parralel Parks A Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank.

[@garystone5746]

Never needed a camera to park been driving for 47 years people these day are rubbish drivers without these aids watch them make a pigs ear even with every aid fitted on there expensive toys lol.

[@didyouknowthat.channel]

Mate, that's far too OC. No one really parks that perfectly.

[@krazyb1234]

Great video. Another good video would be parralel parking in a narrow road where you have cars on either side. Personally i find full lock makes the car swing out way too much, and better to use a one full turn to get into a spot.

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for your suggestion.

[@Agu_Ra]

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.

[@krazyb1234]

@@Agu_Ra yeah fair point. I think a lot of what learners drive should hopefully not be as bad the focus st.

[@ajpdaniels]

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

[@ddhsd]

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. 😅

[@Cloppa2000]

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 👍

[@yeswecanyeswecan4663]

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.

[@thorbjrnhellehaven5766]

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts about using camera in a Tesla, where there is also two side cameras facing backwards on front fenders. Or 360 camera-view.

[@cameronmcdonald9699]

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.

[@ConquerDriving]

That's great to hear! Thank you for watching and congratulations on passing!

[@Edutainment_kidzone]

Richard I am so thankful to you for your advice. I implemented your method and was able to do it in one go. Super useful.

[@MigotRen]

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

[@lk0stov]

camera parking...no, just don't. I recently installed a backup cam, all I use it for is knowing how much space I got on the back before I hit something, you got your mirrors - they give you all the information you need.

[@rbettsx]

I'm not sure about that.. I know the length of my car pretty well.. but in tight spots on my local high street, I still wind up using reflections in shop windows, to be sure. 😅

[@littymartin5793]

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.

[@michaelthomas3646]

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.

[@vaspadure2725]

How about "how to park using YOUR EYES"????

[@HaydnG266]

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]

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.

[@ImranChaudhry]

Thanks Richard, excellent explanations. Really appreciate the different camera shots to show distances of the 3 reverse camera lines.

[@kevkfz5226]

If you pass your test with reverse cameras what happens when you drive a car without one? I guess you don’t reverse it?

[@ConquerDriving]

In my opinion, ideally you would be taught to reverse using the mirrors.

[@a.l1249]

Thank you for the video, this is very useful! I got my first car with a parking camera (and larger than the car I'm used to), and to say that the manual is not particularly useful, is an understatement. Greetings from the Rocky Mtns area of the US - we may drive on the other side of the road, but your tips should be directly transferable 😉 I have a feeling that you just flattened my learning curve.

[@proptart7933]

Love the little glimpse into your taste in music too from the Now Playing section on the infotainment - good choice!

[@uk7866]

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

[@Gaspar314]

My 2005 Mazda had rear and front cameras, and both have bendy guide lines! My current Mazda just has the rear straight guide lines. Wonder why they got worse like that. Cost maybe?

[@marzi_kat]

Looks more complicated than just using mirrors + audio parking sensors 😕

[@rbettsx]

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 😊

[@Enfrance2003]

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.

[@jooproos6559]

I al ways wonder why it always must be parking backwards!Why not just park forward and the way out when the next time is just straight backwards! This of course when you park side by side.

[@liannebenn2097]

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

[@walkingpizza1796]

Thank you for the video! How much does a longer/ wider vehicle effect the parking with the camera?

[@ConquerDriving]

The camera should be set up for that particular vehicle.

[@1mgvideo]

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

[@gogee8510]

Brilliant exposition of the rear view camera. I don't have one yet but there will be one on my next car. Thank you for your video. Subscribed.

[@jackihooton4488]

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.

[@rosemarywong3199]

I've just bought new car with cameras and this video has helped me to learn what lines to concentrate on. I'll need to practise this now.

[@---kv5kh]

can I borrow that car for fine-tuning all my driving please?😁

[@tambam3376]

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

[@daviemac9925]

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.

[@nevergetany]

My 2013 Prius does not have guide lines, so how do you do it when there are no guide lines?

[@vikky867]

I'm 50..I'm still learning thank you

[@kingsukmajumdar2335]

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

[@lindanorris1817]

Thank you so much 💁‍♂️🚙💙🌎👍🎈🧸👏

[@RoadTrekker866]

I subscribe to KZbin not to watch advertisements/PAID PROMOTIONS, now people are slipping into their podcast paid “COMMERCIALS”.👎🏻

[@treasurem2491]

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

[@davidjfraser]

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.

[@maryblencowe]

Thank you Richard, this is an excellent video. Picking my Aygo up tomorrow and it will be the first car I have with a reversing camera. Still think I might have a lesson with a qualified instructor just to give me the extra confidence but you have given me a good head start!

[@Loremlpsumdolor]

I love my car camera lol idk what id do without it

[@bozenakowalska-gs8df]

Thank you for such a good and detailed explanation. Now, I feel more confident using the reverse camera in my car.

[@simontrangmar4537]

Thank you for your great vid...the graphics really helped get the point over...love your enthusiasm

[@SoloSuze]

Thank you so much - really helpful!

[@jamescartwright4460]

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.

[@matanatarot]

I'm quicker without this tool with less stiring 😂, after driving for more than 20 years. But now I do have this tool too in my car, so I am curious how to use it. So thank you, maybe it's also a question of practice to do it just as fast.

[@taono]

great video and well explained.

[@noelelnolo9642]

Great video!! I just installed a backup camera yesterday and it’s an aftermarket so it doesn’t beep when one is getting too close for comfort . These instructions are really good, no I just have to practice a few times to get used to it. Thank u

[@carolbongvf2389]

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

[@---kv5kh]

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 - 🖕🖕🖕

[@nicholasdrivingacademy9435]

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

[@rodfulford4306]

Thanks for demo. Changed car 6 months ago and rev camera now bendy but previous was straight lines. Cannot get used to it and don't use it ! I will now try again with your examples. Cheers Rod

[@Claudia-pc1mj]

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. 🎉

[@StarGyrl]

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.

[@temmytory4309]

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.

[@WinstonBrown-q4r]

The time you fool around with these foolish cameras you will turn your head and park the old fashioned way.

[@bm2085]

Although we drive on the right in my country, I still find your videos really useful, thank you very much!

[@lanehogger1532]

Well timed. Just bought a BMW 5 series with a reverse camera. BTW you have loads of subs. Well done 👍🏼

[@harveylinney]

Or just park as you normally would without the need for a camera. 🙄🤣

[@84triniboi]

another informative video Richard now I have a more understanding of my bendy reverse camera especially with parallel parking

[@Ch8t]

I think the need car front and side camera too. I forgot find myself parked next to the curb crooked.

Hi, just wanted to let you know, I did pass my manual license test and your videos helped me greatly! I also bought a Skyline R34! It also happens to have a backup camera so this video helped me out as well. Thanks a lot!

3 months since I got my license, still enjoying those videos as usual.

[@darnpeach151]

Very helpful video thank you!! Some suggestions for an upcoming video would be 1. 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. Edit: from reading some of the comments I see others asking for similar videos which you have already acknowledged

[@ConquerDriving]

Thank you for your suggestion.

Hey mate. Can you please do a video on how to avoid pressing accelerator rather than brake in an automatic car please.

[@ConquerDriving]

Try to put your right foot in a position where you can pivot from one pedal to the other without taking your heel off the ground. This doesn't work for everyone but it helps most people, it depends on the size of your feet and the driving position in relation to the pedals.
