the little convex mirrors are a godsend for reverse parking. Makes it so much easier

my grandpa had me reverse in between his two cars in a ram 2500 but they were on my passenger side the entire time to make it harder when he was showing me how to angle it properly. it really is a lot easier to do it off the driver side

@@smartdrivetest in Kentucky we have a leners permit where you can drive with a supervisor and after 180 days you can get your intermediate by taking a test and then you can drive by yourself with some restrictions

[@psychicchap]

For the second car park with angle which you did, one handy tip is to bring the car to an angle up till you can see the car front hood (standing in the slot right next to the one you want to park) in the rearview mirror on the driver's side. then reverse while keep looking at both rearview mirrors on left and right doors to secure safe parking.

[@XeRo333]

Learned so much from this channel! I always try to look for it when needing a refresher or advice on how to go about driving. Like things like the gap between you and the car in front of your car, dealing with left turns at a light and people cutting into your lane & now how to reverse park into spaces

[@meddy0811]

I’ve always done the 45 degree one by default. I don’t think I ever watched a video on it I just assumed that was the way to do it. It’s the quickest and easiest plus the people who are behind you don’t scoot up usually thinking you’re driving straight like they do with the other method.

[@EpicThe112]

Well explained Rick and this is useful Maryland since 2013-3014 and post February 2020 road test Nevada because they're going to require to park into these spaces. Also in Drive left countries United Kingdom and Australia since they test you for this routinely. For states that do parallel parking like New Jersey Pennsylvania and New York you don't get tested for this even though it's a required driving skill in everyday driving

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi EpicThe112 - Thank you my friend. Yes, a required manoeuvre; however, it's always up to the discretion of the examiner. If s/he is in a grumpy mood, you could be required to do PP and the reverse stall park. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hello Rick I did not pass my driver's test today in Edmonton Alberta because my dad is always seriously getting on my nerves every time he taught me how to drive and the main reason I failed was because of obstructive driving. I took to long turning left at an intersection because I wasn't able to see oncoming traffic in my driving situation, just wanted to let you know all the other driving techniques helped me out allot and I was even a bit stressed out which caused me to speed up a bit but the examination did not notice, so keep up the good videos!

[@sowmya_trimurty]

Hi Rick, Thanks for your patience, time and effort in making these videos with the multidimensional camera views. Great concept and great assistance! Qns: 1) Is being on the left lane a conscious and significant choice for initiating both types of parking towards the left stall? 2) And, is it right to say, for the Perp-P, you start backing from 1.5 stalls past the desired stall whereas in the angled-, you start exactly in front of the desired stall to your left, then angle-right forward and then full left turn (1.5 steering turns) back? I tried the approaches from the driver's (right) lane while the parking lines/stalls were not aligned between one side and the opposite side, so ended up never right and ridiculed by partner for my geometry notes than developing the senses myself :( However, I really find your sketches useful! - Sowmya

Hi pooja sharma - a couple of pointers: back from the driver's side. You know that the car is going to fit in the space, therefore, stay 12-18" inches from the driver's side. By doing that, you don't have to worry too much about the other side. And when the front of car is in line with the front cones, stop. All the best, Cheers Rick
