Parallel Parking THE EASY WAY - DRONE VIEW !

Parallel Parking is the hardest of all parking types. Try this easy to follow method and you'll be able to reverse parallel park LIKE A PRO!
Practice this method and you'll reverse parallel park like an expert every time you need to squeeze into the one remaining parking bay on the side of the road where everyone else is too scared to attempt to park! Learn how to parallel park using this simple method, shown in clear detail using overhead drone footage. The terminology varies between countries - but the process for reverse parallel parking is the same everywhere.

I have been driving for 25 years here in New Zealand and no-one has ever explained parallel parking to me as well as your video! Very many thanks, I will be more likely to have a go next time. My usual method is to freak out and drive away if any other vehicles (or pedestrians 😂) approach!

[@sandrajohn9837]

Thank you so much for this instruction. I hadn't parallel parked for quite a while when I tried recently and I made a mess of it (in traffic of course 🙄 - so embarrassing 😵‍💫). Then I realised I didn't really know the steps I had been taking when I did get it right! Now I have clarity and will soon be better at parking than ever before. Thank you very much for your help. Greetings to WA from Tasmania.

When learning to drive I was told to pull very close to the side of the car in front. Then start reversing and then turn into the parking space when you can without hitting that car beside you. This does work but I want to try your method, it has more structure. Thank you.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

Whatever works for you. There are plenty of instructors out there with various methods. Some good, some not so good. This method has structure and you can call on it when you get nervous and your brain stops working - such as in the stress of a driving test! Thanks for watching.

[@nonsolorasatura9093]

Interesting explanation for the more difficult situation when the driver set is on the opposite side of the parking.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

The angles and arcs are all the same so the technique can be applied universally. This video illustrates the manoeuvre with right hand drive (e.g.Australia/UK) but can equally be applied to left hand drive (e.g. Europe/US/Canada), or for parking on the opposite side of the road. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

Thanks for your comments. We do have reverse parking videos.

[@henrypoulsen3657]

QLD TMR say no rev camera looking, (that's our jurisdiction) saying if it didn't work, could you safely complete the manoeuvre. But some cars have birds eye views that make the task so much easier, but alas not allowed here. Once licence is passed, the tech is definitely used since it's so helpful.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

That's just ridiculous to tell a learner driver not to use all of the tools at their disposal. Driving tests are about making safe decisions based on the information at hand. And the reasoning ... that one day the camera might not work? One day you might be driving a tradie ute with all the lockup gear on the back and no (or limited) rear window vision. Or you might be in a van with no side windows to the rear. Apply the same logic and you won't be allowed to look out of those windows in a driving test either. If the safety gear is there - USE IT! Try telling the coroner that you reversed into a small person behind you the day after you passed your driving test because had been conditioned during your lessons not to use the camera. Why didn't you use the camera? Because your instructor had been training you not to use it for the past year! Reversing cameras are great - even in driving tests - if used appropriately, i.e to the extent that you would glance at any mirror, and not to the detriment of proper all round scanning. Thanks for the comment. It just strengthens the argument that we need uniformity between jurisdictions in this country if we are serious about best practice for licensing and road safety.

[@blackvader100]

Here in India, there are some adjustments needed to what is shown here due to bumper to bumper heavy traffic and narrow roads. There is no way you can stop right next to the parked car and back into the bay.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

It's the theory. Doesn't necessarily work in all settings such as what you have described. Thanks for the comment.

[@biddystar]

Hi there, I'm from WA and feel very insecure entering the highway, worry about the blind spot , or not to be able to get into the other line etc etc. Would love to have your advise, thank you!

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

That's a fairly general question... but: Remember one of these two acronyms: MIB - Mirrors, Indicate, Blind Spot, or MILO - Mirrors, Indicate, Look Over (your shoulder). MIB also stands for Men in Black. MILO is the well known drink. Remember the order, and make sure you ALWAYS do ALL of the required steps and you'll be covered for lane changing, passing parked cars, pulling away from a parked position, and merging. The blind spot check is commonly overlooked - BUT IT'S VITAL. If you don't do it, one day soon you will have an 'at fault' crash - because someone was lurking just behind you but you weren't aware. When trying to enter the highway, always make sure that you look both ways - for vehicles and pedestrians. When turning right at a t-junction from the terminating road, the most important aspect is looking LEFT (Again) immediately before committing to enter the intersection. It's often overlooked - but it's VITAL. Thanks for the question - and stay safe out there on the roads!

[@biddystar]

@@ilukadrivingschool8696 Thank you very much for your time!

[@hossain2010]

I found a different version of this manoeuver. Some say when u start reversing, make one full left turn of the steering and then two full right turn. Others say, first one full left turn of the steering, then go back a bit, then again two full right turn. I m confused as to which works best...its also possible that there is no road marking.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

It depends how much space you have. Many of the instructional videos are based on jurisdictions where you simply have to park behind a car with no objects (cars or kerbs) behind your parking space. If you have 9 metres to do your manoeuvre, it requires less sharp steering than if it's a 6 metre parking space with another car behind you. This method works locally in Western Australia because the only reason you would attempt a reverse parallel park is because there is only a single space available! (otherwise you would drive in forwards into a double sized bay). If there is no road marking, you have to judge when to turn based on the positioning of your passenger side mirror relative to the driver's side tail light of the car in front of the parking space. It's all covered in the video. Just make sure you watch it from start to finish and follow the process. This is the best method because 1) it covers the scenario where available space is tight, and 2) by driving straight for a distance before doing the 2nd turn, you can position the car the correct distance from the kerb every time. But if you are learning in a jurisdiction where you simply have to park behind a vehicle with heaps of available space, then do whichever method your experienced instructor recommends. They know what the assessors want for the test. Thanks for the comment.

[@123binqchen]

Hello , what about you have already commencing reverse at the 45 degree enter point to the park bay. And there is a car coming from behind , do you freeze your movement , or are you keep going reverse onto the park bay ?

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

While the reversing vehicle doesn't have right if way against the forward moving vehicle, common sense says to continue and clear the road to allow the following traffic through. Having said that, if the following driver tries to squeeze their way past you, you must ensure that you don't move into, or get too close to their intended path. So basically if they indicate by their aggressive attitude that they are trying to get past you rather than patiently waiting, whether you stop or continue reversing will depend on whether the front of your car is still swinging out or is past that point and sliding away into the bay.

[@123binqchen]

You are the legend🎉

[@peanutbutter4166]

If there’s a car coming from behind you do you stop the manoeuvre to let them overtake or do they wait for you?

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

Briefly wait and see whether they take the opportunity to overtake. They will often wait because of space constraints or the potential danger of overtaking. If they wait for you, then very carefully reverse in - paying attention to all potential hazards (including the vehicle behind you). Thanks for the comment.

[@MrSm0keee]

I like using my own math to figure out how to parallel park but watching your video the numbers I will use are 8, 5, 12, and 3. If this works can you tell me, if I use 8 seconds using thou-sand 1, thou-sand 2 thou-sand 3, etc. by reversing to a 45 degree then for 5 seconds reversing backwards for 5 seconds and stop by walking speed, then stop, then 12 seconds by turning the wheel to the right as possible and reversing for 12 seconds and for 3 seconds going forward for 3 seconds. Would that help in any way ? I think of it that way to make it easier for me.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

Visual is better because timing the steps of the manoeuvre will be dependent on your speed. If you mis-time the first step the remainder will be likely to fail.

[@joannemoss7171]

My test is booked for March this year and I can't parallel park. Every time I turn I turn the wrong way asam going in 😤 but my drivings instructor it leaning me in a different way your looks much easier

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

If you can, go away and practice both methods with another supervisor (a parent for instance) and see which one works best for you. My method works best if you can see the outer boundary of the parking space with a stick on parking mirror on your driver's side. You can buy the stick on mirror from a motoring shop like SuperCheap Auto (if you're in Australia). If my method works best, demonstrate it to your instructor. It's all about being competent and consistent - regardless of which valid method you use. Also remember that no matter whether you're driving forwards or backwards, if you turn the steering wheel to the left the car will go left, and it will go the right if you turn the wheel right. Keep it simple. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sajedabegum6105]

Hi, I live in Melbourne. Is this possible to pass the driving test without reverse parallel parking?

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

You would need to ask that question to people in Melbourne who know about the structure of the Victorian test. The tests are different in each Australian state.

[@sajedabegum6105]

@@ilukadrivingschool8696 okay, thank you for your reply!

[@dubainurse]

Should you turn your steering wheel full lock before you reverse? Or whilst reversing?

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

It depends on where you live. In some jurisdictions such as Western Australia (where this video was filmed), you must not turn the steering wheel more than half a turn while the vehicle is stationary. That's referred to as "static steering" or "dry steering". In other jurisdictions around the world, it might be perfectly fine to turn the wheel to full lock before moving. Get to know your local rules. The local experts are your local driving instructors. Thanks for watching.

[@123binqchen]

What is the maximum distance allow from curb when you stop and park.

[@ilukadrivingschool8696]

You should aim for approximately 30cm. That's the distance you should also aim to keep from other objects. Closer will be OK provided that you don't brush or hit the kerb. You certainly shouldn't mount the kerb. In some jurisdictions you shouldn't park more than 50 cm from the kerb. The stipulation in WA is that the car must be fully contained within any parallel parking bay, so being too far from the kerb wouldn't allow it. Take a look at other cars that are parallel parked. It should be obvious to you which ones are parked correctly and which ones are too far away from the kerb. Thanks for the question - it demonstrates a great attitude to your learning. However, with the variety of questions you've asked, you would likely benefit from at least one professional lesson. KZbin can be helpful but might not always be a suitable substitute for one-on-one instruction. Thanks for watching.

Maybe you could park a mile down the road and walk in the UK winter instead. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍

Will I need to learn to parallel park? Yes you will. Apart from being an essential driving skill, there is a reasonable chance that you will need to perform the manoeuvre in your PDA. As they say, “practice makes perfect”. Well, actually, “perfect practice makes perfect!” We spend a lot of time learning and practicing the various parking drills so you are best placed to execute correctly in your driving test. And more importantly, your friends will think you’re a legend if you can confidently parallel park in the last available space right outside your destination, rather than making them walk half a kilometre in the rain because you weren’t prepared to attempt it and had to go and park somewhere easier further down the road!
