[@bash8822]

When i tried doing this for the first time i went o. The curb and hit the gas in reverse and hit a i was like fuck my car nooo but thankfully notjing happened

[@MarioDragon]

As a straight 18 year old dude who drives a Volvo wagon because I have no money, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[@sasayaki]

I haven't had to parallel park in a long time. When I first got my license I was always nervous about it because where I grew up people seemed to always park on the street with barely a car's length between them. If you managed to get in without hitting anyone, you were lucky if you had a foot of space to play with. Which made getting out even more nerve wracking with anything besides a compact car.

[@chaoticdrifter]

I've had my license for about 4 years now (incident free) and I can say this is terrible advice. Pause at 2:02, had you done this on the road test you would have failed. My advice, drive along side the car you're trying to park behind. Match your right mirror with their left mirror ( or vise versa). While still being there, turn your steering around one full rotation but not all the way, that way you don't swing too wide and potentially hit the curb. While reversing, wait till your mirror is aligned with their back taillight then turn the opposite way, one full rotation. You'll avoid the unnecessary risk of hitting the curb, plus you'll also seem like a pro doing so. Good luck to all.

[@saldibian957]

easiest way to do this, is get side by side with the park. Stop, look behind you, (blind spots), turn the wheel 1 TURN, begin reversing, once the symbol of their car is in the middle of your passenger windown, STOP, turn the wheel all the way to to the left, and reverse. EASY!

[@TheTruemouse]

Little tip if you're parking in the main street in front of shops. Storefront windows give a brilliant reflection of your car and the cars behind and in front of you. You can use this to park in even tighter spaces to judge the distance you have to spare. You can usually gets within inches of either vehicle.

[@summerdayzzz5130]

Thanks guys!!! You seriously helped me with parallel parking and now I feel more confident. Thanks again!👍🏽

[@00Grunk]

What do you mean by failed it? Do you mean you just didn't park correctly or did you bump into curb/cones? I have to take my test in a week, and I know the parallel parking is gonna screw me up.

[@thehoneybadass]

honestly, i rolled up on the curb and almost hit a tree.

[@productionbrothers5986]

terrence grim Goodluck!!

[@louiscarmelotan]

Informative...so besides "Taking it slowly," which is a must, I always turn the wheel first before the letting the car move, people don't realize that your angle of attack changes if you are in motion, thus it can become harder to judge the corners and the curb. If you "cut" or turn the wheel as far as you can judge to enter the correct angle of the parking spot that gives you the best chance of completing the park in as least amount of steps as possible, it becomes easier and easier over time.

[@mausib]

Once your rear passenger door is even with their rear bumper... (this is not clear and the video does not show where this point is) to start turning the wheel. I will try.

[@fallondriade]

glad i'm not the only one who couldn't understand that part of the video

[@kateoneill7226]

I got it. What's so hard about it?? It's self-explanatory.

[@joelhall649]

I think it's vague too because vehicles are different in length.

[@renoleevans]

“When the door handle of your rear passenger door is aligned with the other car’s bumper” 😏

[@TarlaTorres]

Yeaaaa if you lived in the suburbs this would apply. I live in the city and spots have a fraction of that space and you have 2.5 seconds to park before someone starts honking lol

[@jovicrazed]

This video would have been much more helpful if it showed one example all the way through and did not jump from the blonde lady in the car, to the guy using the whiteboard and back and forth. Seeing one full, fluid example would have been much better.

[@juniorrivera8384]

I want to take my driving test soon so can u expain what she meant by that because i dont understand either.

[@drizzlydr4ke]

My boy, it's clear. When you see that you're close to the bumper of the other car you should turn the wheel to the side you're parking in.

[@BigSlimThic]

Okay Ok No i dont, explain for me?

[@ChristinaMagma]

I took my driving test about 4 years ago, i didnt have to parallel park. And actually i have never had too even long after having my license

[@anonymouslyanonymous5987]

I know parallel parking is hard, but it's a good thing if you can do it! You can have more parking options.

[@ChristinaMagma]

***** I live in a suburban neighborhood. I've never had to do it in 4 years. Just depends on where you live!

[@ColdMediaTV]

ChristinaMagma But isn't it a shame that you can't do it? I mean if some emergency or other unexpected thing happens that requires you to move to a place where parallel parking is inevitable, you'd have to refuse to drive for that reason. Sigh.

[@anonymouslyanonymous5987]

I don't think it's shameful to not knowing how to parallel park. But like I said, it's still a great skill to learn! Especially if you travel to very dense cities, you might need it. My grandmother have been driving for almost 20 years, but she never had to parallel park. Unfortunately for me, I have to parallel park like everyday because I don't have enough space for my car in the garage.

[@ChristinaMagma]

ColdMediaTV That's what this video is for right?

So I'm like ok... Go to insurance they trying to charge me over 100$ dollars... So I borrowed my moms friends car a tiny tiny car... Went two days after with no knowledge of her car...

Jennifer Nguyen It went great! I passed on my first try! What they tested me on (and in this order) was Parallel Parking (got full points) Reverse perpendicular parking (I got half points because I did it correctly, but with a method that wasn't particularly legal for my town oops), backing up in a straight line for 20 ft, and then the road test. My road test took about 7-10 minutes since I live in a small city-town, so yours might be longer or shorter depending on how big your city is. The best of luck to you!!!
