- How To Parallel Park In A Tight Spot - Part 1. In this video I discuss the main stuff like aligning yourself, distances, reference points, how to turn the steering wheel and so on. In the next video, I’ll discuss these same topics in more detail, and more. I park first with two feet on each side, then with only one foot.

Note: I've had some negative comments on this video due to the fact that I portray an inexperienced driver as a woman and an experienced driver as a man. Now I do understand that this might offend some women, but I'm showing her as an INEXPERIENCED driver, not a BAD driver. And everybody knows that there are as many male inexperienced drivers as there are female. We are all inexprerienced when we start driving, or when we start doing anything for that matter. There's a difference between talent and experience.Talent is something you're born with, expereience is not. Nobody was ever born experienced at something.
Now if I was comparing a bad driver with a good driver, and I would put the female driver as the bad driver and the male as the good driver, then I would have understood all the hatred. But I would have never done such a thing anyway.
So I just want to make this clear that there was no other intention behind that, than putting PEOPLE in that video.
There are excellent female drivers and excellent male drivers, just as there are terrible female drivers and terrible male drivers.
Being good at driving is not a gender thing. It's about, among other things, skill, practice, behavior and... experience, which BOTH genders only get with time and practice. BOTH genders.
And when I say both genders, it's because in this video it was a man and a woman, that also goes for every other gender identity. I respect all genders.
Just wanted to make this clear.
Other note: The size of cars and parking spaces vary from place to place, so you may have to adjust in some situations. The sizes of the vehicles in front of you and behind might also vary a lot. Make sure to always do your verifications (by checking the mirrors and by turning your head) at every step in order to always keep a safe distance from the other vehicles, or any other potential obstacles.
I love how this guy is always straight to the point.
Fik Shun if you have backup camera and blind spot mirrors will this process be easier ?
Fik Shun do you believe in “better safe then sorry” ?
But if you rely on a backup camera, if that camera fails or you try to park with a car that does not have a backup camera. Things will become harder for you. It's a nice feature but it's not good to rely on. It's good to learn without the camera before you use it.

Man, you saved me today. I usually drive quite good however parallel parking in tight spaces scares me so I avoid it. However tonight there was no space apart from 1 where my Polo could fit leave approx 6 inches each side. I saw your video n tried it, I had to get down twice just to be sure as the space was even tighter than the one you showed. But I made it without a scratch.. thanks a lot.
Nice to hear.
This is so helpful. I take my test next week and I’m very nervous about parallel parking.
Edit: I took my test today and I passed!
I like Pizza they wont make u park in between two cars. The space will be spacious
Fatlind Bytyqi I Hope so. I’m just afraid I’ll hit the curb. If you hit it where I live, it’s just a strike, but if theres snow on it you fail.
musetahir I’ll try to be, but I have a fear of driving.
I like Pizza so what i would do is, try to be far from curb. Youll get a strike but it wont be an automatic fail. Dont be toooo far. But a little further than what it is expected in your place of origin.
Fatlind Bytyqi I take my test today. I had a review last night and I did alright I guess. I didn’t hit the snow banking. I’m really nervous
a camera in the back for reverse driving is a god sent for this situation
Absolutely.
I'm grateful mine came with one. I never gave it much thought when I bought my car.
Nah just some sensors in the back bumper will do the job
@@Maen963nope they go off super early and so the micro adjustments are useless
How to parallel park in a tight space: Don’t.
Exactly, especially if the other two cars are also parked tightly. You never know the skills of their drivers.
@@maxp918 some of us live in England so not really a choice
Yeah, sometimes they park so closely, even a slight incline and a little roll-back, and, there you have it! New bumper paint job!
@@maxp918 exactly why I always park well away from other cars. Someone totalled my parked car once while I was at work 🙄
If u have a small car do
the backing up part is what gets me
I drive a small car but always struggled with reference points when parking. Since I watched your videos I can park right and left very easily. Thank you very much!!!
My Friend-(Conduite Facile) your driving videos are the (best ones on CZcams) and the number one reason why I got my drivers license. Also, my driving instructor was good too; but when it came to the rules, regulations and the mind set (One) needs to have; when it comes to driving: I got most of that from your videos. Again, all your driving videos are the best and (I highly recommend) any one who wants to learn to drive to watch them. PS I passed on the first try thanks to you. Thanks.
Cool. Thanks and congratulations.
Why (do you) talk (or type, I should say) like (this??)?

@@weelite9630 😂😂
I can’t believe I hadn’t found your channel sooner, it could’ve saved me a bunch of headaches. Keep up the good work!!!
Dude you really helped me a lot when I started driving so thanks a lot
It is because of people like you the beginners can easily get rid of their fear of driving and handling a car! Thanks for the effort for sharing your wisdom with millions of us! Love from an Indian from the Netherlands! 🙏🙏🙏
Just what I needed! Finally! They didn't teach us that in car school,but I did exactly the same as you did by feeling what to do. It's nice to know the rules anyway..
Thank you so much for this tutorial sir. With that being said, I would rather walk further down the block than to wreck my nerves.
I always come back to your videos. Very informative
Superb and minute tips. Thanks for this amazing tutor video. A lot of effort has gone in for showing the drivers view point. Great job
This gives me anxiety
past my test today. Your videos helped me so much. I will recommend everyone I know to watch them.
Thanks and congrats!
Thank you! All the current teachers only teach you to parallel park in wide open spaces. This gives me a lot of comfort.
About two months ago, I managed to park in a very tight spot. I even took pictures! (Proof, I guess.) Now, though, I’ve had trouble parking in normal spaces. Your videos will definitely help me get over my fear of parallel parking.
You are a REALL OG I passed my exam 3 days ago, I found your video 5 days ago and I went from needing 3-4 try to park to less than 15 seconds in almost 30min of practice. I was pissed af when I learned that parrallel parking wasn't at the exam but now I know how to park easily
Cool. Congrats for the exam.
I got lucky on my test, I did not know how to do parallel parking when I took it but it was snowing out and the parking lot was full so the instructor said he will trust that I know how to do it and he skipped it! I said yes I know how lmao
Thanks buddy for the kind response truly you are my mentor waiting for next part anxiously
I think this video made history, the like to view ratio is the best I’ve ever seen on CZcams congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
This Tutorial Saves me Today. I am a new driver, and Your tutorial is God Send. I learned a lot even though I am on the other side of the World. Thanks Man. We really appreciate it
You're welcome.
This really helped when I wanted to park my minivan between two cars next to a wall, I got it right first time without a help and I didn't scratch any of them
Thank you very much kind sir, I really appreciate the knowledge!!! 🙌🙌🙌
I love this channel and helping how to drive, thank you
Very nicely explained, especially the reference points, they are lovely!!
Exactly how I do it. Great job demonstrating!
Best video. Precise explanation. Thank you
That was very concise and highly informative. Thank you!
You are the best driving instructor in the world!!!
Can't wait for part 2
Love the accent. Good tips. Thank you.
Your videos are short and sweet straight to the point, thank you so much for posting all your videos to boost our confidence, learnt quite a lot of new techniques from your videos. god bless x
I bought a car about a month ago. Didn't have a car for about 5 years prior to that. And even after a month, I am still struggling to park my car in tight spaces. This video is very helpful. Thank you.
Lots of drivers with decades of experience still struggle to park in tight places. You're ok.
I tell my students to find a car identical to theirs, pull up next to it so they're aligned, and look over their left shoulder (I live in the UK) and make a note of where the back of the vehicle is, that way, whether they're parking behind a stretch limo, a van or an original Mini or Smart car, they know that they're back is aligned with the car next to them.
The trouble is, people tend to forget this. One girl, who only had a few lessons, said that she tried to do a parallel park shortly after passing, and totally messed it up. That was years ago, I've seen her car parked up on many occasions, and she certainly seemed to have got it figured out.
@Ginger You appear to have misunderstood my comment.
The idea is that you know when the back of your car is level with the back of the vehicle you are parking behind, regardless of its length.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I appreciate your Help.... Your videos are really awesome detailed and well explained....
Now time to put it in practice
Tried tour recommendation of turning wheel 1.25 turns and it worked... Super excited about driving after having license for more than 8 years and not having the confidence to practice.
Lol same but yet I have yet to practice it at all so far but I have this spot I always go to that requires this technique, either I have to wait for it to be 2 spots open or park elsewhere, now I got to try this way
Awesome tips! Easy to remember information. Excellent demonstrations. You are the best driving instructor. Terrific channel!
Thanks for your very clear instructions.
This is the best teacher at explaining an teaching
Well explained!! Great video ☺️
beautiful explanation and demo, cheers!
So helpful! I love this chanell
always awesome teaching
hello, this is my first comment ever , i just wanted 2 express my gratitude
frozen me I have all the exact same problems! Yes please do a video on those topics
Get someone stand behind you and backup until they say you are close then make a reference point for yourself, or simply get a backup camera
For me the problem is with cars in front of me cause I can't solve it with a camera
Great video filled with helpful tips! Thank you.
Today's best video.. Thank you 👍🏻
You are the best. I learn alot from you.
Wonderful teacher!
This was so helpful to me..having trouble with this
man wish all instructional car videos are like this haha. Good job sir!
A person learns over the experience & your tutorials helps a lot one thing I add is never do driving adventures it can cost heavily.
Yay much needed thanksssss
Thank you so much for this. I really screwed up on this maneuver in the test.. I got asked to park up in a really tight road in between two cars with a big truck waiting behind me... I ended up whacking the kerb going over it and not being able to to correct it... 😒. My instructor never helped me go through these tight roads before.. this vid however has taught me a lot!!!! Thank you!!!!
Shooby Doo your instructor is an asshole and didn’t give you the proper resources to help you pass your test. I’d complain if I were you because that’s some BULL shit
Shooby Doo It is not normal to parallel park in tight space for driving test. The driving school is questionable if we are asked to do it. Like this author of this video said, even experienced drivers struggle to do so, let alone beginners.
I love this accent!!
Very informative video, thank you
Thank you so much! Appreciate it
very good, your very good at this.
Thank you So much! ❤️
Great video! Thank you!
Precise, concise
2:27 I'd hit the cars around five times :)
Blue Rosy because women don’t know how to park.
@@MDSHAHIDKHANRONY LOL , how did you come with this very logical explanation?
Lol I parked in a tight space today and two times I hit a car bumper it wasn’t bad but I touched the bumper parallel parking in a tight spot is hard
you won't survive parking in NYC then, the space he had in this video is the same as nyc Except smaller sometimes, it is brutal
@@phurion. I'd prefer parking far away where there are no cars around me and walk like a kilometer after XD
easy to understand,its ver helpul thank u
I love the reference point trick
Your clutch will love this
Thank you! Love your accent btw
Thank you so much I got it the first time. 🎉🎉🎉🎉New subscriber
Hello Dear Teacher .
I really love your clips .
I following your advice and your lessons.
I live in Kabul Afghanistan.
It isn't easy here to drive .
Today was my 6 day to drive on street on all my life in driving course.
Unfortunately here the driving course doesn't teach you the way u do but I learning from your clips .
I really love your channel Sir.
Good Luck .
Respect and love from Afghanistan.
Great video!
God I was waiting for this for a long time but I havent been using my subbed account (main account) for a while recently, I still think you should write books about driving TEACHING , not just driving, you can teach these Instructors who take our money and teach nothing..thank you very much.
Thank you 🙏,Amigo.
Your videos really helped me a lot when I was a student driver, and I'm rewatching your videos as a refresher since I don't really get to drive that often. Your videos are really great, one of the best driving lessons in CZcams! Thank you so much, and I hope you continue what you're doing! Watching you from the Philippines.
Philippines, cooool! Greetings from Canada.
Thanks really helpful 👍👍
I really appreciated that you said it's hard to do it even for experianced drivers! I'm still young driver and I wanted to parking like that so many times but it's not easy at all.. I hope some day I can do this
It's easy for experienced drivers but only those who do it very often. For people who don't park in tight spots regularly, usually it's not easy. Even when the spots are not tight it's not easy for some drivers who rarely park in parallel (people who live in the country who have driveways and rarely drive in urban environments for example)
@@ConduiteFacile Agree! Keep up this level of education videos with good advices!
I once saw a video of an Asian who parked his vehicle with only one foot of space to spare. Amazing, but not for beginners. This video is a good example of how to park a vehicle when you are a novel driver. In the real world, sometimes spaces aren't so generous. Thank you for sharing. PS. now with assisted parking technology, it's taken all the fun out of manually parking by ear
Once again thank you for this video. Will you teach us how to drive in icy conditions?
What my instructor told me
1. Back up until your rear window is aligned with the end of the parked car
2. Back up fully turning until you see the front light of the car behind on the pavement side
3. At that point fully turn the other way and back up to the car behind
4. Potential adjustments
Works a charm
you lost me at 2 :D can you please elaborate? thank you
@@PaschalisI (assume youre parking on the right) you look in your left mirror and back up until you see the right front light of the car behind you, then 3.
@@blanco7726 thank you so much
Very helpful thanks
Very helpful. Do you have a video for gauging how close you are to the car in front of or behind you?
Edit. I asked this before ending the video and I got my answer.
Thank you very much
Muito bom! Uso sempre esse método.
Great thanks. Will trt out today.
Nice video now teach this on an hill, I hate to do it on hills specially when I have to leave the parking spot and I have to reverse uphill to make room so I can get out
Always bring big mirror with you thats what i learned from this video
Thanks bro!
Super message boss
Where are the people who awards noble peace prize 🏆 kudos to this gentleman, I wish all the instructors were always this much eloborate and persuasive.
Very helpful videos for driving learners.
Thanks for the comment.
thanks so much for the explication
Im beginner in driving i just only need to know is parking its difficult for me but i want to learn ur video is helpful thank you.
I like how he spoke,,❤️❤️
I parked in a really tight spot today. Bwoy that was a lot of work as a relatively new driver. Pulling up alongside the parked vehicle can be daunting as I’m always thinking I might hit scratch the other car🙁😬
MzJamaica Mee same
It takes a lot of time to parallel park cause you put it in drive and reverse and moveup and back alot a of times just to get it right
Thank you Sir
Very nice video
thank you
❣️ May God bless you teachaaa
Something important: check if the other cars have enough space to get out after you leave only 30cm between you and them. Sometimes it is better to park crooked but leave more space.
I’ve parked in the smallest measurement in various occasions on a high street that is a main road. Imagine trying to do the manoeuvre whilst you’re holding up cars on a busy high street main road. It’s tricky but I’ve done it. 😊
Cool.
@@ConduiteFacile COOL lolololol
Lol lol 🤓@@AwesomeMan2696
Thank you so much
