Thank you for all your videos. It’s been 25 years since I passed my driving test and never driven since…therefore I’m still a learner. I’ve had my refresher driving lessons lately but I always struggled with parking next to the pavement. After watching your video I used your technique and parked my car perfectly. I was chuffed to bits…Thank you 😊. I agree with the comments saying you should have more views and likes. Your tutorial videos are well explained and professional. And now you have just gained another subscriber 😁.

Thanks for this video. We don't have this type of parking in Switzerland, but we often have to "get in lane" (a dictionary tells me), i.e. getting close to the curb before turning to the right (right handed traffic). The curbs are super high compared to the UK and my instructor often had to take control before I hit the curb.

I normally just line it up on the windscreen/front of the car, then look in my left mirror while I’m still moving forward, but parallel to the kerb, to see how much closer I can get to the kerb.

Love the content! How about if there's a vehicle and you want to park or stop in front of it next to the curb? Obviously then the curb will be a bit further and a bit forward.

@ConquerDriving Жыл бұрын

Stopping after a car is more difficult, if you can continue far enough forward then it should still give you time to line up with the kerb properly. If not, you can reverse to finish lining up.

You can fix it but they're not that fussy. Be careful when you fix it not to start moving without checking round first. You could mislead someone if you started moving. You will get marked down of you keep adjusting, then beat thing to do is let the car roll until you're happy with your position.

I've been driving and used these videos, but let me tell you that you need actual lessons in a car. Videos can help, but they are not good enough solely. Driving requires 4 limbs and a head that has to rotate and eyes working constantly. Cameras can never become what the natural eyes see. I'm glad these instructors make it clear that driving videos are not a substitute for actual driving lessons. Driving lessons are serious hard work especially driving manual.
