Passed 3 months ago and had no issues with parallel parking until I’d actually passed.. I live on a main road and always need to fit in gaps like this while traffic waits for me at rush hour. It’s a-lot different from doing it on an empty street like I did on my driving lessons and I feel the added pressure. Hopefully It’ll come easier with practice! Thanks for the video! Very helpful

i have a driver license since i was 16y old (the government had to let me pass driver license test and give me license at young age because the school of auto mechanics i finished required driving license to issue the certificate), i passed the tests and got my driver license without a problem back then, but i had no chance to drive a car up until recently when i bough a new car... but since i am 36y old now and more aware and more careful and overthinking way more than i was at young age, i had tons of fear about driving now... luckily i found your channel and watched almost all of your videos and easily started driving again without any problem using your techniques and tricks. and i am from Macedonia where we drive on the right side, but again your videos were really helpful :) thanks for the great content and for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us all, keep up the great work and best wishes.

3:12 - An alternative is to do what Gru does in Despicable Me, and simply ram the other cars out of the way. Very effective at increasing wiggle room, but your insurance might go up and your neighbours may slightly hate you for it. Also, could you make a video on merge in turns? I find it difficult to judge whether to slow down or speed up, or tell what other drivers are doing/want me to do.
