I'm one of the 70% that has never parallel parked after my drive test! I had a fear of driving as a teen and didn't get my license until I was 22. My license expired years ago and I haven't had a vehicle for many years. Now, I'm 48 and have to take the drive test again. I have my permit and have been putting off my drive test because of parallel parking! This video really boosted my confidence! Thank You! I'll be scheduling my drive test soon...

The amount of people who said they fortunately passed here, honestly gives me hope lol. I'm really needing to get my parent/s to take me out for a practice drive because it would help me tremendously more, if I actually was able to be more confident when driving, verses the saying of Point A to Point B. I was relaxed the first day of my road test, but ultimately I felt everything blanked my mind, and I wasn't sure how to handle the situation because of nerves, being scared to hit the cones, ultimately had someone nice that day & she simply said I needed more progress, and wrote me up. 😅 When I write down notes, I completely know how to do so. When I was with my driving instructors taking practice drives (only way I've driven a car; not with my parents nor friends which lessens the practices), I would always do them nearly perfectly. K-Turn, and Reverse, as well as parallel parking. Day of the test lol I went blank in the mind, in due to being minimally distanced to the cones, feeling the car was crooked- fixed the car, got scared of hitting the cones, and was told to park to be written up, was very quick. Going to watch this video a couple of times & get in some extra practice. May I pass it on my second time. 🙏🏼💯❤❤ lol I needed to be more confident in my ability to drive, look, signal, reverse it to the right, signal, reverse it to the left, straighten the car, drive forward, park it. Have it checked. Then check blind spots, signal, and begin the K-Turn when ready to. Later the reverse, and minimal driving to have aced it. 😂🤣 I got so pissed when I got out of that car & knew I could've made it.

@@smartdrivetest Hi, You are doing a great job. I have a question, when I put the car in reverse and turn the steering wheel to the right while I am backing up, The car is usually too wide from the curb. Why is that?

[@hweventing7394]

@@godiseverything1482 heya! just an opinion here but it seems you arn't turning the wheel as hard or for too short of time when you begin parrallel parking.. aim for around 45 degrees from the other car your parking around then slowly bring your wheel around the other way and when your clear from the back of the car, hard lock around untill you have a straight line from the middle of your car to the middle of the back of the car infront of you... Hope this helps!

[@eyesuhkattspeleeng]

Smart Drive Test I took it at the DMV. it’s by appointment only right now but they’re prioritizing new licenses/ID’s. For the test itself, I had to do the fast stop (20 mph with out skidding the wheels), parallel parking and then we just drove around a bit for observation. That was pretty much it. I was one point from failing but I know for a fact it’s because I was so nervous. Longest hour and fifteen minutes ever, but I passed and got the parallel parking down pat so I’m gonna hold on to that! Edit: I also had to back up in a straight line

[@smartdrivetest]

Thank you for the information. Yes, those pesky nerves can get you every time. Still, you practiced enough that when the nerves kicked in, your skills you practiced took over. And good on you for controlling the vehicle during a hard brake. That's a tough skill for new drivers. All the best, Cheers Rick

I parallel park regularly. It is needed in neighborhoods and on city streets all the time. It seems hard to believe that 70 percent of drivers get away with never doing it. I do appreciate this reminder of methods for knowing where to set the vehicle before backing up, how far to turn the wheel, angling to the 45 degree spot, and how far to back up before turning the other way. I usually do it by sight, making visual calculations as I go and relying on a basic understanding of how the car moves,, without such a specific set of instructions to follow. Following the steps laid out in this video should make it super easy. Thanks!

[@tombrenner4418]

Parallel parking reminds me of threading a needle with a floppy piece of thread. I had to take a parking test to get a job with the company examiner in a full-sized van. My secret was to think of him as another workmate. I was lucky and passed.

Just passed my test. Got an ogre, but paralleled between them perfectly (happily quoting). Wasn't gonna comment, but that part of this vid made me laugh.

[@edmarmatis5195]

Had my test last Tuesday and these have helped a lot. My experience: did everything right on my first test but I was reproved for not paying attention on an imprudent man that signaled to the left and went to the right, second test (last Tuesday) I was so nervous and mess up the parallel parking (was able to fix though) but the instructor was so nice and friendly that he let me pass saying that I did the most important: I cared for the safety of the vehicle and the passengers in it, so at the end of the day is not worth stressing about it because whether you pass or not, it will depend on how the instructor see the seriousness of certain situations.

[@sharonpratt7155]

Hi, I was so depressed that I didn't pass my road test twice. I failed my parallel parking twice using a van. I paid a driving lesson. My instructor used small car every driving session that's why i can do parallel parking. We don't own a small car that's why I brought our van twice in my road test. It's a struggle for me how to estimate the distance that I wont hit the curb. Earlier today was my road test and I felt giving up and not to drive again but seeing your channel encouraged me to try once more. I tried searching how to parallel park a mini van but I haven't find any. I am so desperate to get a driver's license so it's easier to go to work and not bothering a ride all the time from other people. Please if you could upload a video of how to parallel park using a van or mini van, it would be a great help and i would appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Sharon Pratt - Thank you for your comment. Even though this video isn't about parallel parking a lager vehicle, it may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWGtaXR8o5iUobM&index=5&list=PL0x-bChcUvwFT3AUV-F13kqDUAhieIH2v And I would suggest revisiting the fundamentals of driving with this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnvTfn6hrKqbrqs&index=4&list=PL0x-bChcUvwENfxb3Gsaj4ZNLWleZCNzG If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note.

Hi I failed my DMV test because of parallel parking because I did not checked blind spots and watched the front camera of the car ,I was watching your videos for a while and getting good understanding on parallel parking I hope to get it perfect before scheduling my next appointment for the Test

[@flatearthisnonsense]

@@smartdrivetest Thanks Rick. Because of you I was easily able to teach my daughter in law how to parallel park with ease. She passed her test on the first try

[@hypnosstratagem1277]

Rick, I passed my road test today ( Long Island, New York) on my second try. I want to thank you for helping me learn how to pass my road test ( your 45 degree angle tip is amazing for parallel parking). There was a lot of self study for me to prepare for the test as my parents did not always have the time to teach me. There was also a lot of pressure for me to learn to drive and pass the road test in a hurry as I am going to medical school in 3 months. Your videos helped this future doctor achieve his goals and learn how to drive safely. For that, I am deeply grateful. To anyone reading, confidence is key for the road test. Be confident in yourself. When the instructor asks you to do something on the test, do not be a mute and do not speak in a silent voice. Reply in the confident voice that you were born with that you understand the instruction. It will keep you focused and remind you that you are in charge and can win this. Practice this in your head and room before the test. It will help you when you are alone in the car with the instructor. Best of luck, everyone.

Hey Rick, here in NY it is an automatic fail if you hit the curb, not sure about elsewhere

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Margaret Petrov - it's an automatic fail anywhere my friend - especially if you knock the examiner out of her chair. If you bump the curb and readjust though - that's okay. All the best, Cheers Rick
