Funny thing is i do have driving licence for like 15 months now, done around 13000 miles so far and still watching these and finding that stuff useful. Thanks for all these videos mate.
Struggled curb parking on a steep hill today. Instructor went and shouted ,fucking hell’, felt so stupid. Thank you for help, hoping to improve going forward
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 😁.
Lol i got back to driving after over 2 yrs covid n all.. only went to work before in 2019/20, kurb parking still gets me jumbled im parking at work away from there in cul de sac and one day i get good to kurb now im a bit further out hope this vid savees meeh😅
Hi! Just wanted to pop on and say THANK YOU!! I passed first time today with 3 minors, and my instructor was a bit useless (he FELL ASLEEP on the morning of my test during our warm up 👀) and I pretty much put my success down to your videos!! Thanks ☺️💛
Honestly, one of the best videos there are on youtube. You explained everything that I needed thoroughly with examples and animations. This is quality.
You tried your best with the intention that driver can apply all your theoretical explanations to apply exactly for super close parking, safely. Yes, your explanations are really Marvelous.
I've struggled for pull up on the left and right maneuvre as I scratched the front rim of my instructor's wheel which made my anxiety even worse whenever she asked me to pull up on the left. After watching your videos, and applying your technique and reference points, I did improved a lot. 😊 Your other videos also helped me to pass my test yesterday for the first time with 4 minors 🎉❤ Thank you so much Conquer Driving for all your help and more power to you!
Just like to say a big thank you to ya. Had 3 lessons with an instructor who was awful. Completely different to how you explain things so decided I would teach myself in my wife's car following your instructions. I passed this morning first time. Many thanks and a merry Xmas to you
What an amazing instructor you are. I always have problem with parking near the curb. Your explanation gave me more confidence, I am better with parking close to the curb.
You are just brilliant! My instructor kept telling me to focus on the reference point and I had double vision. I thought it’s because of my glasses/eyesights. But actually exactly as you said, I should have focused on the curb, that’s it!
I watched this video and a couple of others the night before my test. On the day, practiced really quickly your tips and passed 1st time 🙂 Big thanks for your help.
Thanks so much for this video! I've had 20+ hours of lessons with my instructor and struggle with getting the distance right when stopping near the side of the road. Why couldn't they just have explained it like this?🤦♂️
I have recommended your channel to my nephew he is learning to drive... you are one of the best instructors I have ever come across. Keep up the good work. Thank you for everything you do.
Let's just be quite clear on one point, people. In UK English a curb is a curtailment or a restriction. The edge of a British road is a KERB. 👍 (Love your vids BTW.)
I’ve had 5 lessons so far I struggle to judge the distance between car and Kerb/road dividing line. I’m regularly watching your videos to enlighten me. Thank you. I love your channel.
I can understand your information in English than in my mother tongue lol.... Thnaks a lot I never thought I could drive easily before I spotted you in youtube....you are the best 👌i downloaded all ur videos....
Thank you sir for the wonderful explanation. I was making angle at left then again steering to right which was making my car stay at same distance to pavement and not getting close. But your video taught me to go little straight in reverse after making the angle and then steer right. Thank you sir
i watched some of your video .every time you answer to my question.i can say you are the best on youtube .exemple in that video at 4.20 minute.i wish you were my instructor.because you know whats going on in my head .and you go straight to the right answer.im surpresed only 25,215 viewer ,you shoud conquer youtube .well done all the best
Thank you for this Richard! I was literally just thinking about parking close to the kerb this morning... I used to struggle with it a lot in my lessons and I am never very sure how close I am to it.
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’m about to take my license in Singapore and curbside parking isn’t something that’s taught but we’re expected to do it at the end of the practical test. Go figure. This video and your channel has been very useful! Thank you!
Thank you very much. That's my problem. I don't understand why I can't parking properly near the curb. Now I understand, I hope can be get better on my next driving lesson.
Great tips and brilliant explanation….still wouldn’t believe I fail my practical exam 2 days ago for parking too far from the kerb, got a major .so sad as it was my 3rd attempt..thanks for this video
This is perfect because I just had my actual test last Friday and I failed because I hit the curb and popped the wheel in the first 2 minutes!!!! It was a very sharp curb :(
@@ConquerDriving thank you this video will help the sad thing was it was uphill aswell with traffic behind me he first told me to go left then said park up on left. So confused me
@@jadenluke2115 Thanks good luck on your test if you haven't passed already , just remember be calm and drive like you would in your lesson good luck !
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.
Well explained. Never been a fan of the pupil changing the mirror to reverse on the test because if they are very nervous they might forget to put it back.
I would like to have driving lessons with you but unfortunately you don’t cover Poole. Appreciate your videos explaining this concept in clarity and detail.
Handy video, I have a new motor with some fairly large expensive alloys on and have been rubbing the tyres when parking, at least now I have no excuse. The trick with the lowering of the wing mirror is perfect, thanks
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.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks so much.... I hate to say it but I blew my tire the other day 🤦🏻♂️. I was going around a bend into a car park when practicing in my car and didn’t see the sharp bend. So a new set of front tires it was 😩. Thanks for this, I’ll use the tips and methods you said.
You know what else you could do? Install one or those "curb parking mirrors" which shows both front and back wheels underneath your side mirrors.... That way, you will have full control over your car.
Do you have any tips for lost confidence for new drivers? I passed in March this year and have had a couple of minor prangs (clipped wing mirror). I've totally lost my early confidence since having to shell out a few hundred quid to put things right! I'm an older new driver at 50.
I'm sorry to hear that, try driving when it's quieter and easier, confidence comes with success so the key is to give yourself the best chance at success.
Hello Trevor, the fact that you were determined and confident enough to pass your driving test as “late learner” is significant enough that you can achieve almost anything. I also passed in march and just got my car a few weeks ago. I struggle with parking and haven’t been on the Motoway yet. You cannot allow your setbacks to define your destiny as a driver. I would recommend you take pass plus lessons with someone you feel comfortable with. The only way to overcome fear is to keep on doing what makes you scared. It feels so great overcoming these hurdles in my driving and feeling more skilled and confident. Thanks to this channel, we have a forum to turn to for advice and motivation. Best of luck with your driving!
my sister once hit a curb at 25mph not even side on, like diagonally (it was on an exit of a roundabout and it was curved so its not like she was just driving sideways on the road) i was so suprised and happy that i didnt have to replace my michelin pro tires. but they didnt survive me hitting a curb at 40mph :( they did however save my wheels so that was good, still very expencive, reemmber to pay attention to your road positioning, not the overtaking vehicles
I liked your preferred method... Sir it would be so nice of you if you can make a video on reversing around a corner specially on a very narrow road. Thank you.
@@ConquerDriving Sir it would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much for all your informative driving lesson videos, it makes my driving better and better.
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.
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.
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.
This is one of the problems i have parking up on the left near the kerb, but last test was based on parking up on the left on bend after a busy junction after a bus stop. That was my problem.
@@ConquerDriving Thanks, the only problem is that how do you park on junctions which are very narrow and bendy and not in a straight line? ihad that problem on my test but was never tuaght how to park on thoese very strange kerbs instea dof the straight ones.
Can confirm be careful around hard edged curbs! I accidentally popped my left front tire today on the side wall from hitting one and now i gotta get it replaced, and it was a new tire before i bought the car 😔
I believe I already have a video. May be in the driving position video. I've done a lot now so I struggle to remember what I have and haven't done off the top of my head.
Any tips to keep on straighting the car? I always overdone the counter-steel (right) and need to turn left again and it goes on and on. Should it be a little over the reference point that I get some margin to turn right?
Most new drivers do too much counter steer, it's normal to be a bit side to side when parking until you gain more experience. Try looking at the kerb and up the road, the curb tells you how close you are and looking up the road helps you judge if you're straight.
Funny thing is i do have driving licence for like 15 months now, done around 13000 miles so far and still watching these and finding that stuff useful. Thanks for all these videos mate.
Your channel is underrated. U deserve more viewers mate. I’m gonna recommend your channel to friends & family who’s learning how to drive.
Thank you!
I recommend him to everyone, including long time drivers

Oh, that doesn't seem very professional or helpful. Don't let it jolt your confidence. I'm sure you're acing it now!
this is PERFECT. just what i needed because in my last lesson i kept parking too wide of the kerb!

Thank you, the show and tell questions help with this.
I failed today with 2 minors and a serious because i was too far from the kerb when parking . Hopefully nextime around i do better!
Well explained. Never been a fan of the pupil changing the mirror to reverse on the test because if they are very nervous they might forget to put it back.
Underrated I should say this channel
Very important information as i am having a road test tomorrow 7th March
Thanks for this. Until now I wasn't really getting the formula. But I recon I've probably got it now. We shall see, my test is tomorrow. 🤞
I must commend you for all your great videos. I have really learnt a lot more than I learnt from my instructor! Kudos🎉🎉🎉

best curb side parking video!
Handy video, I have a new motor with some fairly large expensive alloys on and have been rubbing the tyres when parking, at least now I have no excuse. The trick with the lowering of the wing mirror is perfect, thanks
Im American and 'wing mirror' is way more fun than 'side mirror'. Great video
As a South African I was super confused we call it rear mirror
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.
Yep agree Richards videos are so good.
3:30 Thanks for using metric there.
You are amazing, could pass only coz of watching your videos !! Thank you for your amazing work !!
