- How To Safely Back Out Of A Parking Space When Your View Is Obstructed
It can be enough of a challenge by itself to back out of a stall in a busy parking lot. You have to watch for pedestrians all around you, oncoming traffic in the row behind you, other drivers backing out, and many other things. But it makes it all the more difficult when there are vehicles on either side of you blocking your view. You can't see what's coming down the parking lane until your vehicle has backed out quite a ways, which makes the whole process more tense and dangerous. In this video, I give you some tips on how to safely back out of your parking space when your view is obstructed. I appreciate your taking the time to watch this video, and I hope it helps someone avoid an accident in a parking lot. Thanks for watching!

Tomorrow is my first time driving by myself and i’m still very new at it. This video really helps me visualize things before i drive. Thank you sir!
I’m glad to hear it helped, and I’m sure you’ll do great on your own tomorrow!
This video taught me how to reverse out of a parking lot.
Awesome - I’m glad to hear it helped!
Just got my licence but don’t have much experience with parking yet. This helps a lot thank you! I am much more confident in backing out and making the right moves now.
I’m glad to hear it helped, and the more parking you do, the easier it will get. Enjoy having that license!
Two thoughts:
1. Ease and safety begins with choosing your parking spot. If you are less experienced and/or have a large vehicle, try to choose a parking spot in a less crowded area. If the area is safe to park further away from the door, consider it. Parking next to a shopping cart return might also be good. While there is still an obstacle on that side, it isn't a bright shiny new vehicle that will call your insurance if you tap it.
2. Backing requires checking and rechecking during the full movement. Observing the area as you return to your vehicle is helpful. Did someone else just get in their car close by? They may begin backing before you. Is a family six cars down getting the kids out? They may be behind you when you are ready to move. Look for potential hazards as you approach your car.
Great ideas! Making it easier/safer to back out can begin before you even park in the first place. Sometimes I do park farther out where it’s less crowded, and the few extra steps don’t hurt me either. And I very much like your thoughts on checking out the area around your vehicle as you’re walking to it so you can see what’s going on or might likely happen! Thanks for the comment.
Out of all the parking videos I have watched this one was the most thorough and easy to understand. Thank you for creating this video and doing such an awesome job on it!
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching!
This is so underrated, I've watched dozens of videos. Only this taught well.
Please keep doing what you're doing, thanks heaps!
Thanks for your kind words, and I hope it helped!
Many thanks for Doing this Sir, I have been driving for 45 Years and Still So Much To Learn. Excellent Rendition!!
I think it’s sad how few views this has. As someone who drives around 1000 miles a week on average I think more people should be watching. Sure, I knew a lot of this but driving tips are always appreciated by me and I definitely learned a thing or two from this video. Great work, you’ve earned me as a subscriber.
Thanks a lot for the comment, for watching, and definitely for subscribing! I always hope my videos help somebody, and maybe even prevents an accident.
4:43 "Only turn enough so that you stay within the lines"....I feel so dumb. I dont know why I didnt think of something so simple lol. I always worry the front of my car will hit the car next me when backing out and trying to turn more tightly. All I had to do was keep it inside the line and then I be able turn the wheel early if there are cars parked close behind. What a great, detailed and informative video!!
Thanks for watching it, and I hope it helped!
In Canada, and I appreciate your videos as I prepare for my own driver's test.
Best of luck on your driver's test when you take it!
4:30 damn that technique is really helpful
I have seen nobody use their turn signal when backing out of a parking space
It's rare for sure. but something that can help if you do it.
@@HowSkillshere in Dubai, it is required, otherwise will fail in parking test.
I think once people pass the test they think of it as optional.
@@lenadavin5704in test yes but after that anything goes
I always do. Instinctively, I can’t see anything from both sides, so I want to make sure they see me
Hi Stan, Thank you for this video. As a new driver, this helps me a lot to understand how the steering works when reversing. You clearly demonstrated it, and I am confident that I can demonstrate the same during today's assessment test. I've practiced this a few times with my instructor right with me, but I get nervous when I have to perform it by myself for the test. However, after watching your video, I absolutely understand how it works. Warm regards from Dubai.
Thank you so much for this video I was nervous but now I feel so much better!!
You have such an amazingly clear way of explaining what to do and use amazing visual references!! These videos have made me feel more confident about my upcoming test and future driving!
Because of your videous i passed my test today, it's very informative and it helps me a lot during my test, so thank you for making videous like this. More power your channel.

thank you for this
You're very welcome! I hope it helped.
You sound like Michael from Breaking Bad
The best and safest way to park is either pull straight through to the space in front of you if available or just back into the space.
And most of all, don't rely on your backup camera. Cameras do not always give you a full view of what is behind you.
The best explanation so far
I hope it was of some help!
Interesting, I will try and use my turning signal while backing up for safety.
Parking a pickup truck is much harder than a regular vehicle. The turning radius is larger and judging where the rear corners of the truck are relative to the cars behind you is hard since the tailgate obscures one's view. The side mirrors are not flat so that distorts the image and makes it hard to judge the distance to the vehicle in the rear.
Yes, a truck is much more challenging and takes more skill to park either forwards or backwards.
I can't wear seatbelt while backing ( Im only 4,11.) I did all this and still had an incident. Never had a backing up problem in 45 years. Smaller lower vehicles are at a blind spot disadvantage next to huge vehicles.
You find it safer to reverse into the parking space.Its easier to then drive out with no limited view restrictions when leaving parking space.
I do like that about backing in. It’s so much easier to then drive out of the space. I especially like it when we go to a big event and there are a lot of vehicles parked close together. When it’s time to leave, it’s much safer and easier to drive forward and merge into the line of moving cars, than trying to back out and hope someone will make room for me to do that.
Stan I have a small car ..can't see my bonnet..how do i reverse out safely
Stan I have to park in a small busy car park for work. And I get stuck sometimes as there are often cars parked close behind me and either side. I really struggle reverse parking so I go nose in. Which means having to reverse out when I leave. The last two times doing so I’ve had to do about a 9 point turn to get out. There’s always some smart ass man watching me looking amused. Is there no easier way to get out? Getting tired of people watching me and smiling/laughing
Those men watching and looking amused aren’t worth worrying about, and don’t let them distract you from what you’re doing. Sounds like you have very little space to back out from, so you’re probably doing the best you can under the circumstances. Try and find the widest spot spot you can. If you’re going to be driving off to your left, park as close to the right side of the space as you safely can so that the front of your car will have a little more room to swing outward to the left as you back out. And vice versa if you’re driving off to your right. But if it’s a really small car park, I know you may not have room to be able to get over to the left or right to any great degree. So you may already be doing the best you can with what you have to work with. Just don’t let the jerks distract you from your backing.
What happens if I enter a road side curb too quickly and the car is now 45 degree on the road. Imagine there is a vehicle behind me, how can I then back and retake the curbside turn ?
I have a question which is, is it important or even useful to check both sides or just the side you are backing out in because what if pedestrians or cars are coming from either direction?
I think it’s still important to check both sides, just in case there’s a pedestrian or another vehicle coming from either side.
So what do I use when backing straight back is it the emergency lights
Yes, your emergency flashers would be best in that situation. And if you have any doubt about which signal to use when you're backing out to one side or the other, just use your emergency flashers also.
