    God I needed this for my drivetest. Good to know I was doing some of the techniques right though! What helped me was lining up the mounting piece for the driver side wiper with the curb, and I would be about 4" away. And if you are too far away, you can always back up and use your right mirror to judge the distance. Hopefully this helped someone!

    There is actually a trick towards knowing where your car is in relation to the curb. Just divide in half your hood line from the left fender to the right one and get it as close as you can do that line by looking down the hood line to where you can see the curb starting.
    The same applies when you are doing adjacent parking. Wait for your left mirror to pass half way past the parking spot you want to go into and then turn sharply into the parking space. Works every time regardless of how big your vehicle is.

      When parking by a curb on the right, you’re going to turn your wheel right until the curb line hits between the middle of the hood and the right fender before turning your wheel left and straightening out the car. Does that make sense?

    This is such a great channel for learning how to drive but some of the road signs that I've seen are unfamiliar to me because I live in new york city. I would LOVE IT if you can show people how to drive in new york city and I live in the bronx. Because that's more of a real challenge and I just got my driver's license 2 weeks ago and it took me my fourth try in order to pass the road test. The streets are tight. There are double parked cars on either side on a one way and sometimes you literally need to go to the opposite lane on a two way just to go around a double parked card and there could be a driver on the opposite lane so you have to judge whether you have enough space and enough time to go around and not hit the other car, and some drivers don't use their signals or are in a rush and won't let you drive around or merge into a lane which is why drivers need to be aggressive but not too aggressive to the point that you get into an accident. Some streets have no lines but there are like invisible lanes that drivers make into 3 lanes or 2 depending how much traffic there is. It's just ridiculous. I'm picking up my car today from the dealership. Hopefully all my driving lessons and practice really helps me out and using Waze as my way to navigate.

And how your foot should never leave the floor of the car but should be planted in a comfortable position to accelerate and too stop and only the tip of your toes should touch each petal going too fast will cause you to get into an accident not stopping properly will cause the car to jerk driving instructors are very keen on proper speed control and foot placement to better control your speed and stopping thanks Rick
