Parking Tips for New Drivers

[@Swee_tay]

I have struggled with a fear of driving. Its prevented me from even trying to learn. Now I'm 27 and I feel confident because of these videos

[@bottombagfrenchfry7127]

Don’t worry you’re not alone! I have my drivers license and I rarely drive because i get anxious.

[@thespaniard977]

I feel that but as soon as you get behind the wheel and go down your first road you realize it's super simple

[@FrickingTaylor]

@@thespaniard977 I'm an adult with severe driving anxiety as well. Unfortunately it's not always like that. I've been down plenty of roads and I still have that fear and it's very difficult to get past.

Brooo whyyy nobody ever told me these things? I been driving 2 years, no accidents or pull overs. I've always struggled with parking, backing in and especially pulling in. This has helped me immediately able to do it no problem. Before, I was always worried I was too close. Thank you!

My goodness I needed this! I am pretty good with driving but absolutely cannot park in between cars at all, I can only park on a huge empty parking lot and would still have to take 3 or 4 tries until I can get myself inside the line :D This helps so much! I'm a pretty methodical person, I need numbers, angles, etc., otherwise I wouldn't get it. So this is very very helpful!! The mirror thing is exactly the kind of info I need. Thank you so much!

[@DtownXy]

I have the same case. I can drive but I suck at parking.

[@warimousso]

Me too same Problem 😅

[@uhhyep2753]

I'm totally different when I got to park between 2 cars I nail it when I have an open parking alot I fail it makes no sense.

[@humanbeing2580]

Learn to make small adjustments(like backing up and aligning the front wheels parallel to parking lines if the front wheels are not parallel to parking spot during first approach). There are some assumptions in this video, the cars already parked are parked in centre of parking spot(which you will not see often in busy parking lot esp apartment complex).secondly, the width of the parking spot is very large compared to car(small width will cause trouble for you to exit the car, or drivers/passengers to enter cars parked on eitherside), thirdly the length of cars already parked in parking spot(large trucks extended out slightly on the road, this will impact the timing of turning during intital approach to parking spot) fourthly, the distance between the opposite parking spots(important if there is good room to make adjustments without hitting car behind you). All these points need to be factored before safe parking.

16 n learning; i'm someone that prefers having tricks to do things, and the 'side mirror' tactics help so much! i don't struggle with reverse parking -- normal parking gets me the most.. the instructor is also very calm, and a straight forward teacher. this helps a lot with driving anxiety.

[@tutsecret499]

For those people that have fear to drive and preventing to start learning, here is a consolation and encouragement: I saw some videos where a driving school was showing 62, 70 years old ladies starting learning first time. The videos show the ladies learning. And the instructor is fabulous, spetacular. And the instructor makes cute and funny approach to the student either young or any age. He says like that: "use your little princess foot, light, gentle and slow." when using the gas, the clutch, etc if manual car. These 62, 70 years old ladies were learning in a manual car shift stick. Now I wonder how the instructor addresses to a grown up dude, of course, no little princess foot. LOL.

[@moisesibarra]

Do you have this video

[@tutsecret499]

@@moisesibarra kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnW0iaCvhsSjhMU Quarta Aula de Direção - Dona Maria Lucia - 62 anos. The instructor has many videos from lesson 1 up to your test mock. I suggest you learn manual stick that is extra skill, and then you can impress your girls with the sport car with stick shift driving in the hills of San Francisco. I decided to learn manual and I did the test with the manual car. I did very well in the test handling the manual shift, the clutch, etc but I lost few points with a very basic thing backing up the car straight for long distance, I was going straight, then not straight, I guess my eyes were in wrong direction. Even today, I don't like to back up long distance, I avoid at all cost. it's not safe anyway. So learn shift stick, and then for the exam you choose the type of car you want. I suggest you practice with an official reputable school with few classes, practice with the videos, then get a person to start practicing over and over until the day of the test, then choose a DMV place from different city that does not have difficult intersections, too busy road to leave and enter the DMV.

This was super helpful, thank you! The image of the mirror as a visual reference was absolutely helpful, and unlike other videos.

[@debdeb327]

I'm 30 and just got my first car a few weeks ago, by far the most challenging thing for me has been pulling into my own parking space - it's very narrow and I struggle not to graze the post on the passenger side of the car when I'm getting in. The visual aids presented here are brand new to me and I'm hopeful that they'll help me park accurately without having to give up, go around the block, and try again so many times.

[@DriversEdZone]

Let us know if they helped you, hope it goes better for you.

[@TheJBronson]

One of the best tips to add to this is if the space between the rows are narrow, drive a bit further before turning so you can "slide" in easier. If you don't pull a bit further ahead, you won't get the arch needed and you will be doing backing and driving forward a couple of times.

[@adaptercrash]

We have rules but not in parking lots? Oversize back in. Don't park near cars. Forward parking beside handicapped? Are you retarded? Don't park near oversize. We need signs truck parking, car parking, suv parking.

I am just wondering if you please upload two more videos on 1. How to keep steering straight (Keeping the car within the track, Because I am facing problems keeping the car position constant while driving), 2. How visually understand that my cars are 2/3 feets or 1 meter away from the line as you mentioned in this video. Thank you in advance.
