Parking Lot Driving: How to Park in a Parking Lot + Driving Tips

Today you will learn how to park your car in a parking space, as well as some general rules for driving in parking lots. Also learn about the common mistakes student drivers make when driving in parking lots, as well as some tips to stay safe.
Parking lots are often full of people, so you need to drive slowly and be aware that people may walk in front of, or behind, your car. It is very important that you learn how to properly behave, as you will most likely be parking in plenty of parking lots throughout your driving career.
Parking lot driving is also tested on the drivers test, so it is a handy skill to know if you want a perfect score.

Thank you so so so much for this. I’ve started college and the parking is so crazy I get so scared. Everyone I’ve asked about parking just told me to “feel it out” but you showed the trick with the mirrors. You are an amazing person, thank you so much for helping me feel comfortable with parking.

you do perfectly. I love the way you speak and act

[@jam06]

The little animations are very helpful, and being able to see your hands and when to start turning also helped. By far the best video I’ve watched. Preparing for a test, and have watched this video 3 times, once every day until my test

[@TheHi-T]

This video is like taking a refresher course. Thank you so much. It shows what a patient driver will do versus impatient drivers. I am seeing cars taking short cuts. Car is driven through multi parking spots (multi limit lines) instead of using the parking lot rows. And not signaling. Yup, I am getting cut off in the parking lot. An accident waiting to happen. 🤦‍♂ I am also seeing car A almost finish backing out. Then car B won't let car A finish. Car B wants to pass 1st. I am also seeing some people park wherever they please - blocking cars trying to reverse out of parking spots. Apparently, their text is more important. Then they watch to see if the car trying to back out will hit their car. I don't understand why they did not park their car in an actual parking spot when there is so many spots available.

[@noxserrano2185]

I have my test on Friday and ive been watching all these videos to prepare along with driving regularly. Hoping i pass since im 21 and in the military so everyone is on me about getting my license. Still, if i do end up failing, ill be ok with it and just improve on my driving for the next test.

[@ShelterDogs]

I'm an experienced driver, and your videos are great reinforcements. One thing that came up here, and I was hoping to see it happen.. is if you park in a space and the car to the right or left of you is off-centered. What do you decide to do? Still park centered as usual? If you park off-centered, and the off-centered car leaves, now the next care has to park off-centered. It creates a loop.

Congratulations! I personally failed mine today... I had to do a 3 point turn (on a narrow road) and I accidentally got a little off the road into the grass (it was my very first time doing that, my dad didn't teach me that at all, thankfully I watched KZbin so I at least knew what it was) but the other two mistakes I made was when parking (the parking lot was full in dmv and narrow, I had to reverse to fit in, so yes that too was my mistake) and then I accidentally went 28 on a 25...

Just a suggestion when deciding on how forward one should park the car in parallel park is to use the left reference point I..e the curb line in front of the car should be below the left side mirror. I wouldn't be comfortable matching my left side mirror with the mirror of the car parked left to mine as they can be wrong
