How to stop close to the curb - parking near the side of the road without damaging your wheels.

[@bucu]

Funny thing is i do have driving licence for like 15 months now, done around 13000 miles so far and still watching these and finding that stuff useful. Thanks for all these videos mate.

Thank you for all your videos. It’s been 25 years since I passed my driving test and never driven since…therefore I’m still a learner. I’ve had my refresher driving lessons lately but I always struggled with parking next to the pavement. After watching your video I used your technique and parked my car perfectly. I was chuffed to bits…Thank you 😊. I agree with the comments saying you should have more views and likes. Your tutorial videos are well explained and professional. And now you have just gained another subscriber 😁.

I've struggled for pull up on the left and right maneuvre as I scratched the front rim of my instructor's wheel which made my anxiety even worse whenever she asked me to pull up on the left. After watching your videos, and applying your technique and reference points, I did improved a lot. 😊 Your other videos also helped me to pass my test yesterday for the first time with 4 minors 🎉❤ Thank you so much Conquer Driving for all your help and more power to you!

What an amazing instructor you are. I always have problem with parking near the curb. Your explanation gave me more confidence, I am better with parking close to the curb.

[@robjacques6269]

As a training ADI I have found your videos invaluable and will take a lot of learnings from them to pass on to my own learners.

[@sgao8115]

You are just brilliant! My instructor kept telling me to focus on the reference point and I had double vision. I thought it’s because of my glasses/eyesights. But actually exactly as you said, I should have focused on the curb, that’s it!

[@labradormcgraw]

Let's just be quite clear on one point, people. In UK English a curb is a curtailment or a restriction. The edge of a British road is a KERB. 👍 (Love your vids BTW.)

[@chrishenderson5009]

Just like to say a big thank you to ya. Had 3 lessons with an instructor who was awful. Completely different to how you explain things so decided I would teach myself in my wife's car following your instructions. I passed this morning first time. Many thanks and a merry Xmas to you

[@HoudalothAli]

I've been driving and used these videos, but let me tell you that you need actual lessons in a car. Videos can help, but they are not good enough solely. Driving requires 4 limbs and a head that has to rotate and eyes working constantly. Cameras can never become what the natural eyes see. I'm glad these instructors make it clear that driving videos are not a substitute for actual driving lessons. Driving lessons are serious hard work especially driving manual.

[@maidulislam2128]

Your videos are so informative brother. keep going on

[@joye4007]

Great tips and brilliant explanation….still wouldn’t believe I fail my practical exam 2 days ago for parking too far from the kerb, got a major .so sad as it was my 3rd attempt..thanks for this video

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm sorry to hear that, keep practising and I wish you the best of luck for next time!

[@nootics]

Thanks for this video. We don't have this type of parking in Switzerland, but we often have to "get in lane" (a dictionary tells me), i.e. getting close to the curb before turning to the right (right handed traffic). The curbs are super high compared to the UK and my instructor often had to take control before I hit the curb.

[@baileyharrison1030]

Even in residential areas you can’t just park on the roadside?

[@TrevBec]

Do you have any tips for lost confidence for new drivers? I passed in March this year and have had a couple of minor prangs (clipped wing mirror). I've totally lost my early confidence since having to shell out a few hundred quid to put things right! I'm an older new driver at 50.

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm sorry to hear that, try driving when it's quieter and easier, confidence comes with success so the key is to give yourself the best chance at success.

[@rosekay7090]

Hello Trevor, the fact that you were determined and confident enough to pass your driving test as “late learner” is significant enough that you can achieve almost anything. I also passed in march and just got my car a few weeks ago. I struggle with parking and haven’t been on the Motoway yet. You cannot allow your setbacks to define your destiny as a driver. I would recommend you take pass plus lessons with someone you feel comfortable with. The only way to overcome fear is to keep on doing what makes you scared. It feels so great overcoming these hurdles in my driving and feeling more skilled and confident. Thanks to this channel, we have a forum to turn to for advice and motivation. Best of luck with your driving!

You know what else you could do? Install one or those "curb parking mirrors" which shows both front and back wheels underneath your side mirrors.... That way, you will have full control over your car.

I normally just line it up on the windscreen/front of the car, then look in my left mirror while I’m still moving forward, but parallel to the kerb, to see how much closer I can get to the kerb.

[@lilymaerowlson8822]

great video! i’ve been struggling with this. if you park too far away on your test, are you allowed to fix this or will you get minors / faults?

[@ConquerDriving]

You can fix it but they're not that fussy. Be careful when you fix it not to start moving without checking round first. You could mislead someone if you started moving. You will get marked down of you keep adjusting, then beat thing to do is let the car roll until you're happy with your position.

hi Richard could you please tell us how would you do bill start with electric braking

[@jackysee]

Any tips to keep on straighting the car? I always overdone the counter-steel (right) and need to turn left again and it goes on and on. Should it be a little over the reference point that I get some margin to turn right?

[@ConquerDriving]

Most new drivers do too much counter steer, it's normal to be a bit side to side when parking until you gain more experience. Try looking at the kerb and up the road, the curb tells you how close you are and looking up the road helps you judge if you're straight.

[@hangngocnguyen3779]

[@hassanelwezza]

Love the content! How about if there's a vehicle and you want to park or stop in front of it next to the curb? Obviously then the curb will be a bit further and a bit forward.

[@ConquerDriving]

Stopping after a car is more difficult, if you can continue far enough forward then it should still give you time to line up with the kerb properly. If not, you can reverse to finish lining up.

[@nashrahazad8223]

Thanks a lot.. During driving test while pulling up in left can i reverse my car to get close to the kerb?is it acceptable?

[@ConquerDriving]

If you do it safely there is nothing wrong with it. But to keep the test simple just pull over in an easy spot forwards, you only need to get within a drains width of the kerb. I use the mirror method for when I want to get super close to leave my car parked for a while.
