Reverse Parking Technique - Difficult Spaces, Driveways and Garages

[@ajwinderkaur7072]

This guy is overwhelmingly hard working on his videos not just to run his channel but truly dedicated to teaching even the tiniest part in brief. Very impressive. I live in canada where driving is on right side, but I watch his videos to learn so much. Sincere thanks

[@tcgrady2000]

I live in Canada and watch his videos as well. It's like having your own private driving instructor! I've been driving for over 40 years, but that doesn't mean you know everything and can't learn from a pro.

[@TheWorshipguitar]

Truly agree. I learned much from his videos! I'm in Canada too.

[@jcjammer8972]

If you look at the videos through a mirror it seems more ‘natural’ for left hand drives. Just think left when he says right and vice versa.

Rich, thank you so so much! You're the first channel I found when learning to drive and you've provided a wealth of knowledge. I passed today with 1 minor and would not have been as confident if I didnt have all these videos for reference! For anyone taking their test, you can do it! Stay calm and remember the examiner is on your side. You got this!

[@angharadkat3]

Reverse bay parking was my absolute nemesis as a learner but now I just won’t drive into spaces, always reverse in everywhere as it’s so much easier! I did always wonder how you get in an end space though so thank you🙌🏻

[@clydeweithers8193]

Have found reversing SUV into spaces a challenge. This video has helped. Just need some practice now.

[@alfonsoserramartinez1344]

I find this so helpful! I can confidently drive on routes, highways and busy roads, but small spaces and parking in reverse are something I always avoid (even asking someone to park for me), so I thank you very much and I'll put this in practice

[@letswalk3985]

It's been months since I last practiced reverse parking, & I don't have a car to practice with yet, so I'm just watching this to familiarize myself with the process for when I have to park for real 'cause I'm buying my first car soon.

I learned reversing skills by having to parkin my very awkwardly angled tight alleyway slightly uphill garage. It's a nightmare but now I can do it first try and am better at other awkward areas.

[@ConquerDriving]

The more you have to do it, the better you get.

[@ashleyschang]

I passed my test with 6 minor faults last Thursday and have to say your videos have been a major help. In the meantime, will continue to watch your channel and future uploads/posts. So thank you for these videos, brilliant instructor. My instructor taught me to use the clutch 1st and I did use that method in my instructor's car for the practical test but in my car, using gas then clutch is definitely much better. Haven't stall once since being used to setting the gas first then clutch.

[@ConquerDriving]

I'm very happy to hear the videos helped! Congratulations on passing and thank you for watching.

[@lu4632]

wow this video is so timely. I commute to my campus daily and since returning to school over a month ago, I have only reverse parked once (out of fear of hitting other cars), but I don't like that since I usually park forward, when I am leaving I have to reverse out on a relatively busy road. Ive been forcing myself to reverse park in my driveway when I get home to build my skill but I do it by trial and error and I think not knowing how to use my mirrors properly make it harder. Will go to a parking lot and try learning to use the mirrors and hopefully build the confidence to reverse park in my university lot for safety. thanks for the video!

[@hannahoang2689]

@@catalystic6046 i sadly didnt pass but im waiting to retake it. It was going well but i made a serious near the end RIP because i was just getting more anxious and it clouded my judgement. It was a mistake i would usually never do and have never done before, but my instructor would always get angry at me when i didnt do it, so i think i chose the wrong time to try doing it under pressure so the examinar had to stop me. It hit me hard because i could have easily avoided it and possibly passed. I guess the best thing is on your test is just stick to being overly cautious if you are like me and get some minors rather than try to fix what your instructor tells you do during the test haha.

[@hannahoang2689]

@@catalystic6046 However, it did make me more confident to pass next time and not make that mistake again,plus i learnt alot from it even though it hit me bad when i made the mistake and knew instantly i failed. My instructor is quite strict and gets frustrated with me so it put alot of pressure on me to think about what he shouts at me for during the test. Dont worry too much like i did though and just do what you think is best without thinking about your harsh instructor if you have one :) i hope you do well for your test and even if it doesnt work out, you will always have another chance!

I learned the 3 line technique just to help pass my test. Then when i bought my first car it was a little shorter and when doing the 3 line technique in the carpark at work i ended up turning too shallow and cutting the line everytime. So after some confidence i scapped it and started to use the 45 degree method with using the mirrors to see the lines when reversing. So much easier.

I can't understand people who always pull forwards into parking spots, its way easier to get out of a spot if you back into it. You can see more and you're not blind backing out into possible moving cars or people. Been driving for almost a decade now but its always good to review the basics every once in a while.

[@ConquerDriving]

I do agree that it's easier to be accurate when reversing in and safer to drive forwards out.

[@Roadrunnerz45]

15:10 - yes, if you live on a very busy road though it is better to wait and reverse that way you can get out forward. if your car has rear cross traffic alert reversing is an option although if cars are parked either side of the driveway makes it hard.

[@mokong2627]

Thank you for your advice. Actually when I passed the actual test here in UK, I always thought the technique of the 3rd line reference is always okay in all situations until I drive in tight soaces, angular soaces, etc which I really struggle especially when the driver at the back is not patient.. so I started to forward bay which is quite the fastest way. And yes I agree different cars different feel especially in manoeuvring Thanks again for the video

I had a similar issue. I used the three line reference point during lessons and the car park used during my test had a cross hatching for kids/disabled users between each bay

[@binyoung7297]

13:58. I wanted to ask more about reversing into the driveway. You are using the 45 degree method which involves driving to the other lane, which, as you said yourself, may not be possible if it is a busy road. Your suggestion in this case is to drive forward to the driveway. However, if I still want to back into the driveway (in my case, my neighbor's SUV is parked in a way that blocks my visibility of the traffic such that it is dangerous for me to back out of the driveway) , I guess I'd have to use the 90-degree method, which seems to be something you disagree with to start with. But is there a way to use the 90 degree method to back into a driveway, without the stall/bay lines to guide you when to stop (3rd line, for example)? I read somewhere that you can start to turn the wheel all the way to the left/right (depending on where you back into), when the back bumper is aligned with the second edge of the driveway. Is that something that can be used? But then the question is how to tell, when sitting inside the car, that the back bumper is aligned with the edge of the driveway... If this is a topic you can explore a little bit, that'd be great, although I need to transpose everything you teach to right-side driving.

[@ConquerDriving]

Using the 90-degree method is more challenging because knowing when to start steering is a bit of guess work and there is a lot more angle to change on the way back. But a good rule of thumb is to get the space behind you but not very far behind and start steering. With practise you get to judge how far to drive past the space/garage before reversing and steering. But it's different in all cars.
