even tho i passed my test, i still love learning and watching helpful videos's like these to help me become a better and safer driver :)
On my driving test, I was asked to park on the left on a road with pull-in parking areas marked “Residents’ Parking Only”. I chose to continue further up the road to find a more appropriate parking spot. The examiner asked me to explain myself and he was happy with my explanation. I didn’t receive a fault for the incident
A lot of drivers think they can stop wherever they like, just so long as they switch their car hazard lights on
Hazards?!
I thought that was the magic park-anywhere button
Ah yes, the takeaway food, newsagent and cash point ATM cripples.
gixxerman69 and they leave the car with running engine running and door open while going too the ATM. If you do this should put an arrow on the roof and a sign: Thiefs, here a car for free !
There's an off-licence where I live. Pretty major road in town. People park on the road because often residential parking fills the street. Put their hazards on and that's OK to nip to get a bottle of milk.
Another place never to park is in a space reserved for charging an electric car. These cars need these charging points to continue their journeys.
Imagine yourself on an urgent journey and you suddenly find that you are low on fuel, you pull into a garage and find only one pump working - but there is a car parked there so you couldn't fill up - and the driver was nowhere to be seen and so could be there for 10 mins or 10 hours.
Something I learned back in my driving lessons are dont park in the same way as someone else unless you know you are allowed to. In my mock test I was told to park up in an industrial estate. There were 2 cars parked up on the pavement so decided to do the same. Was told after I should of parked along side the kurb. From what I remember if a car was stolen you wouldn't copy them on the way they drove / parked
Could of mentioned observing when parking how close the cars are spaced to leave enough room. It would stop people being blocked in by discourteous parking. 👍
Once many years ago I was given a friendly reminder by a police officer that it is illegal to park at night facing oncoming traffic and I have never done so since. He said it didn't matter whether your lights were on or off. It is in the Highway Code too: Rule 248 states; 'you must not park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space'.
It seems however that it is one of those rules that is not often enforced, when I look around my locality, but in any case I wouldn't wish to be the cause of an accident or leave an excuse for an insurance company to dispute a claim should my parked car be hit.
Much like how it's illegal to reverse onto a main road. Bet many people have ruined the back end of their car reversing out of their drive onto the main road.
It seems like a silly rule that night time parking though because no matter which way you're facing, if you have your lights on (low beam obviously. Why would you have your bright lights on when parked?) You're gonna dazzle oncoming traffic regardless of which lane they're on. Still that's the law so it's best just to obey it (and yes I do see the safety aspect of this rule).
The reason you park with the traffic flow is reflectors built into the rear light cluster which cars approaching can see, I never park against the traffic flow as it's just plain dangerous as pointed out to you so many years ago,
@@sillybait1329 yeah I get that. My problem is which flow of traffic are they referring to exactly? The flow on your left or your right?
That said I know I'd pull over to my left and park up, if where I want to park is on my right then I'll just find somewhere to turn around or do a 3 point turn if possible then pull over on the left, but that's me and I just prefer doing that...if I haven't got the option of a car park that is.
@@hikaru9624 as we drive on the left (well most of us do except the illegals and Arabic speaking peeps) I mean the flow as you drive so when parked on the left peeps can see the reflectors at night if they actually have both headlights working
@@sillybait1329 ah, should have realised that to be honest. Still my autistic brain doesn't like it when things aren't exact (I'm not joking, I am autistic).
Yes it's a good idea to actually have head lights turned on at night. It amazes me how some people are that stupid that they don't have their low beams on at the very least when it's dark or foggy.
Taxi drivers in Cardiff park on zig zag lines, bus stops, bus lanes, on pedestrian crossings, pavements, they double park, they park in between traffic islands blocking traffic so it goes around them on the wrong side, on school zig zags, the only place they don’t park legally is the empty space next to them when they are blocking the road!
I love your videos ! They are still really useful and I'm sure he'll a lot of people who are already drivers learn something new ! I passed my Class 2 HGV last week ! And still learn new tips from here !
Great video Ash :)
One point which got my attention was the parking on the kerb to allow room for a fire engine to get through and also allowing enough space on the pavement for a wheelchair user to pass by.
My friend uses a wheelchair and is constantly having to deal with inconsiderate people in that regard. I wonder if maybe you could do a shorter video on that particular topic, because I imagine that would be a great video to share all over social media and be more digestable for those who don't have time to watch your longer videos for example? Just a thought. :)
Regards Jim
Parking on the pavement isn't illegal but driving on them is. So unless you can teleport, please don't advise people to park on pavements. Pavements are for pedestrians, not cars, it doesn't matter how much space there is. If you can't fit on the road, then you shouldn't be parking there at all.
JenOnTheMove So what about the literal parking space that was on the pavement that was driven onto?
@@dickelg I think it's clear that is a parking space.
I almost always park on the pavement where I live.. Never caused an issue and its by a police station loads of cop cars pass every day its a none issue
I'd have to agree there, you shouldn't ever park on the pavement as it's not even designed to take cars. I know there are good exceptions to this, Ashley stated some good ones in the video, but vehicles are getting bigger. My car could easily reduce the space of the pavement if I was parked half on.
I want to thank you for providing us with such informative and interesting videos. I passed my test today with no minors and your videos have been a great help during these 6 months since I got my provisional!! I’ll still be watching and supporting!! Thank you again 🥳
Another insightful and educational video! Thank you!
You're great at this mate, keeping it interesting and engaging while also being informative.
Ashley, you could say something about parking in a clearway. In Sheffield, most of the roads that contain tram lines are designated as clearways (for good reason, as parking on a tram line would cause serious disruption as the tram wouldn't be able to get past). But the clearway also extends about 10 metres or so into many of the sides roads. This catches lots of people out - there are no yellow lines on the road so it looks like you can park there, but if you are the wrong side of the circle clearway sign then you are parked illegally. This is a cash cow for Sheffield City Council as it seems to be a favourite place for the traffic wardens to patrol!
Parking close to or directly beside traffic islands is also the worst. So basically I stay in a village and work in a shop on the main road, and because of people parking on the islands, buses and other big vehicles can’t get through. With more and more cars and parking possibly going to be harder, stuff like this is probably gonna be more common
Great video as always 👍🏻
now that helped a lot as i ended up driving too far on the wrong side of the road when parking on the right hand side during my most recent driving lesson. I ended up starting the manouver too early and should have started it later than i did because of the amount of house with driveways on the road i was on when told to park on the right
excellent.. exactly what I was looking for.
I notice that where you were discussing parking on the pavement there were several cars parked completely on the pavement which would have made it impossible for parents with prams or wheelchair users to pass without going onto the road which you did not seem to mention.
I also get annoyed at motorists parking on the pavement where there are double yellow lines on the road.
yeah as long as you don't spend much time or block the road, parking on double yellows is fine. Some places you can unload or load on double yellows if thats what ur talking about
@@qooqle No I see some people who park completely on the pavement presumably in the belief that because they are not on the yellow lines they dont apply
Too bad.
@@Mrhullsie2 I Googled if it was legal to park on the pavement and learned that in London it's illegal but elsewhere you can but you *might* get a fine for it (quite right imo, pavements are for pedestrians and the disabled).
www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/legal/parking-on-the-pavement/
I support making it illegal nation wide to park on pavements.
It's probably nationwide now, I have to walk on the road in my street as the cars and Chelsea tractors are completely blocking the "Footpath" it's also illegal to drive on the footpath so they should get double fines, in some countries you must not have more cars than you can put on your property, I wish that was law in the UK, I have a neighbour with 3 cars and numerous daily visitors who either block the footpath or the road by parking opposite another legally parked car and even worse are the cars parked completely on the path facing into a full driveway
Good point about not parking across a 'dropped kerb' catches people out at our local sea front where there are a number along the length of an otherwise 'free parking' road. They are not particularly marked by white solid 'H Lines', as some others are.
Thanks for your good explanation
A good one is when another car parks directly opposite yours causing passing traffic to compete on who knocks your door mirror off first...😈
In these instances I like my car to not be the first in the line of cars parked on the side of the road. For some reason I believe the first car in line parked on the side is more prone to the mirror getting smashed off as a driver might missjudge going around them
There is a prat who parks directly opposite my driveway entrance. It makes it very difficult for me to get on / off my drive. There are lots of less inconvenient places to park, but that involves an extra 5m walk, which it seems is too much for him.
They may be parking outside their own house as you would do. As long as they keep it close enough to the footpath I could see nothing wrong with it if it's legal. If this was the case should take that up with the council to make it a one side parking street.
@@gixxerman69 Loooooool I parked opposite a driveway but it was a side road much wider than average, but the lady still felt uncomfortable getting her car out to my utter surprise even though there were no other cars usually parked on that road.
That's the worst when you park first and are waiting, then the other car turns up and the driver walks off leaving you there getting all the abuse from other cars not able to get through
Hi Ashley, the only place I would have also mentioned was “Don’t park in front of dropped curbs,” they are usually there to assist wheelchair users. I would also like to mention, I am vice chairman of a group called, Ayclffe Road Management and School Safety, (ARMSS), we campaign for safety outside of schools. Each school has Mini Police ( pupils) in uniform and we still have the problem of drivers stopping on the school entrance markings, quite often these drivers give people abuse when approached, but photographs are taken and sent to the police. One group of drivers who are the biggest offenders are taxi drivers, there answer when told they can not stop on the school entrance markings is usually I’m a taxi driver I can stop anywhere, which of course they can’t.
THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT VIDEO.
Just dump it where its convenient like most people
Especially when you've a pushchair and ten bags of shopping.
In Edinburgh city centre, many of the pavements have cellars under them. They are not designed to be able to take the weight of a vehicle. Some years ago whilst speaking with a director of the then Highways department, he mentioned that the previous day there was an accident on one of the bus routes and the bus company mentioned they had to use the pavement to get past. This meant inspectors had to be sent to check every cellar on that section of road.
heyy man this video could not have came at a better time, i failed my first test relating to this pulling over, my next one is today, youre a star 👊👊
Hope you past this time!
Great video which I just came across. Apologies for being late to the party (again 🥳).
I would have added:
- Urban Clearway signs worth a mention
- never park opposite a side road (forces cars onto the offside and another car may emerge from the junction, causing an impasse or collision)
- Red lines (applicable to London)
Others have mentioned disabled bays and also electric vehicle charging bays. Which would be even more of an interest to you now, @Ashley Neal! 😀
Every time I watch the channel mr Ashley Neal gives me lots of Jason Statham vibes😄 And then I‘m like “Thank you, Turkish, for the driving wisdom”
Nice one Ashley ....planning a trip to UK / plan to drive. This is helpful. How about parking ticket buying process ?
Thanks for all this detailed info. Think l read somewhere that it's not illegal to park on the pavement but it's illegal to drive up onto it, so if you could lift your car partly onto the path you're not doing anything illegal. 🤣 Also, I've been 'taking a run' at the kerb to get the car's two near side wheels onto the pavement outside my house. Didn't realise it's better to do it slowly. Thankyou.
10:32 Don’t forget blind people and those with sight impairments! Pavement parking and wheelie bins on bin day are a serious issue for those with sight impairments!
Hi mate, i am from indonesia..same as london drive as left side of the road..
Very good lecture about driving there.. many2 thanks to you ( because here the driving peoleo much worse .. so this video really help people how to drive wisdomly )
I plan to go UK after covid finish..i hope i can meet you...many thanks
One of the most annoying things I have noticed round about my town is the number of people who blatantly park their vehicle either half on the pavement & half on the road or much too close to the road end/corner and yet nothing is done about it.
Thank you brother ❤️
It's helps me alot i wish i pass my driving test thanks a lot
I find that the quality of parking is inversely proportional to the price of the car. Once saw a chap park his Jag on double yellows on a main urban thoroughfare in Lincoln (Silver Street) to go into a shop. I told him that he was parked illegally and that he would (hopefully) get a ticket. His attitude was that is was fine as he could afford it. Not a thought for the others he was inconveniencing.
He obviously watched Top Gear, when they said it's OK if you have a Jaaag.
(As a Jaguar driver myself, of course it's not!)
Hi Ashley, thank you for the video. Can we park on white dashed on-street parking (paid) spots?
Nice video! I am curious about the rules in London as a Deliveroo driver. Can I park on double yellow lines for 5 minutes to deliver food?
I tried parking an ordinary presentable car away from where I live but still in a residential area in safe places on the public highway that residents obviously weren't using day or night, sometimes the car was blocked in deliberately, other times I got funny looks and residents even phoned police reporting it abandoned, good luck parking anywhere but outside your own home.
Yellow lines and zig-zags cover from the back of the footway to the middle of the road, so all the cars parked behind the zig-zags at the crossing were also breaking the law.
Also, not all single yellow lines need yellow time plates, a lot more are now being covered by Zone Entry signs instead.
oh so thats why I see single yellows with no signs, I thought it was just laziness to not paint a double yellow
I only did forward bay parking on my test and pulling up on the left about 4 times but i was hoping to get parall parking because i practiced it loads and have masted it now and some reason i seem to be better at reverse bay park
Thanks a lot - really useful. Could you, possibly, cover at some point more rural areas -no parking on passing places, etc,etc
I can help you a little bit here! When on single track roads anything that looks like it could take a car (including the weight of it) safely is a passing place, this can include other people's drives as that might be the only space you have to pull into for some distance, ideally you shouldn't use other people's drives but you might not have a choice sometimes.
Also if you come across someone on the single track road and what passing places that are there are on *your left*, who ever is closer usually yields and reverse back to the passing place. Although not law it is generally the rule and it's rather rude to force someone to reverse a long way when you have a passing place just seconds away from you.
In short just be considerate to others when driving on single track roads...and done expect lorries to fit in tiny spaces.
Theres a village green in a triangle shape just down the road from my house, and that's where I turn around whenever I set off. Cars always park on the 3 junctions, meaning that on the first right turn I have to be on the wrong side of the road as I'm going into the minor road, the second right turn I have to be on the wrong side of the road as I come out of the junction, and on the third turn I have to be on the wrong side of the road before turning left onto the main road again. There is plenty of parking there so it's literally just people wanting to park outside their gate, and not
The important thing to remember when parking is that where there are double-yellow lines, you must park half-way on the pavement and put on your hazard lights /s
Hi Ashley, do you have a video with some tips about pulling in on the left correctly? Even after driving for a long time I still find it tricky to judge the kerb 😕 Thanks
Will do ;)
8:08 classic example of "dump it on the verge"
Entrances to sheltered accommodation. St. Lukes court a few months ago - I was hoping I'd appear on one of your videos with my gestures. To be fair, it could have been one of your other drivers and not you but at least instruct your guys to move if blocking traffic but the car stayed after I'd mounted the kerb to get past after initially waiting so a big negative on the observation too.
Just curious why there is a white cross sign with blue background at 07:33, is it same as no stopping standard sign ?
What's the difference between stopped and parked? Is it use of the hand brake (aka park brake), if so then we all park at red lights when traffic comes to a halt.
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I passed today first time, with no minors :) (I surprised myself!)
Great job Emily 👏
Very essential thnks.
Still miss the arl fella in the sou'wester with the fish at the Blue Star
Im glad i live one a dead end road so theres loads of space to park
Me too
Same, although the luxury of getting up my drive is a gamble this time of the year.
@@hikaru9624 why is it a gamble is it steep
@@Ethankeenan02 not really, but it's steep enough that a little bit of ice buggers up what chance I have getting up. And it's private too so the gritters can't treat the drive, but I've learned my lesson! Stocked up the freezer and have some salt at hand should I need it. That said I'll walk down to the shops if need be, I won't be stuck for basic things like food! I'll gladly walk the 5 miles to my village!!
Loads of really great tips, thank you. Question- is it ok to park in a bus stop when you know there are no buses running?
Unless expressed by a sign, no.
Some bus stops or stands (more likely) may have a yellow sign (much like the single yellow signs) with a small clearway circle at the top. This will read, "No stopping except buses between 7am & 5pm" or similar. Other stops, while not served by an active timetable are also safe pickups for coaches and other PSVs that may be running unpublished contracts, services and private hires.
Where I work in Cambridge, we operate coach routes for workers. Some of the stops are not served by bus operators (the timetable board may say, no services operate from this stop or, school services only) but our runs are still registered with the council where we use these stops and often wait several minutes before moving on. These stops are vital for keeping the coach in a safe spot so we don't have to stop and wait elsewhere, blocking traffic and making it hazardous for other road users; sometimes there's no option but to sit in the middle of the road.
Another stop we use is in a small town with a double parked, busy, poorly marked high street. The bus stop only has a flag pole and no road markings so, people park on and opposite it. Many mornings I have had to stop in the middle of the road (centerline running down the center of the coach) and load 20 children and process their fares. This understandably brings the town to a halt and is exacerbated by all the cars essentially wedging me in through poor forward planning. 10 mins later and some persuasive directing through the windscreen and we can get going again. Nearly always passing a lorry who is laughing at the ridiculousness of the whole mess.
The same stands for private hires, I will always try to liaise with the group and arrange to pick-up from a bus stop or just past, if there's one nearby and I'm not obstructing a local service. It's just safer.
If people stopped parking in bus stops it would save a lot of hazardous situations during busy periods, reduce accidents (I've seen a few, even had someone hit a coach by the driver's side as they went round but didn't anticipate the length and just drifted into the side of me at pace) and improve traffic flow greatly.
@@joebaker4116 that's really helpful thanks. I think I possibly meant to say 'is it ok to wait in a bus stop' rather than ' is it ok park'. Don't think that would have made any difference to your answers though!
@@MK-1973 I think with waiting you can be flexible.
Rule 243 states, "You must not stop or park at or near bus/tram/taxi stops."
This would also infer waiting. If I decided to wait at a bus stop I would always keep an eye on what's coming behind. That way, if a bus does come along, you've seen them in good time, can move on or do a lap of the local area and return; by which time the bus is likely to have moved on.
But of course, this is all situationally dependant and if a bus stop is the only suitable place to wait, I cannot help but ask why? Is the area surrounding the stop single (in hours) or double-yellow or is it that all other areas are occupied by parked vehicles. If it is either then ask what kind of hazard will I be posing to other road users? Would it be better to wait in a side street?
What are the rules for unloading or deliveries, specifically parcel deliveries?
Actually you are allowed to park on the footpath in London. It does depend on markings and sometimes there are signs on a post. So it's not a blanket no.
One parking area on the side of the road that I noticed you didn't mention in the video is parking in a disabled space. I have never encounted one of my pupils doing it on a test as of yet but if that did happen in a test, I have no doubt that would result in a serious fault right away. And if a pupil tried to park in a disabled space during a lesson I would not let them.
I have had a pupil failed for parking on a normal double yellow line on a test though.
Although morally wrong and i personally wouldn't condone it, there would be no reason to get a serious fault if they stopped in a disabled bay that is painted white with no sign, they are advisory and unenforceable.
If its painted yellow thats a different matter, they are enforcable.
So are you saying examiners mark with morals in mind? just curious.
useful video thanks,ask the cabies stop parking in marked loading bays stopping us delivery drivers earning a living
Can you park on the left where there is no pavement?
Does it matter if there is no pavement both sides, or one on the opposite side?
I would add, Unless there are bays with deliniated lines, then all parking should be done with the vehicle parralel to the roadway. And a little story of mine. when I took my test way back in the early 70,s the Instructor said that at some point in the journey he would, "Tap" his clipboard on the dash, at that point I was to do an Emergancy stop. All went well and we carried on, later he was messing with his clipboard and it fell and hit the dash, I did another emergancy stop, the examiner asked why I had done that manouver and I replied you said at some point you would tap your clipboard on the dash, instigating the command of an emergancy stop, he laughed that it had fallen out of his grip, but commanded me for stopping.
Please, don’t park on a blind bend. I have two on my road, one right outside a school, and the other under a bridge. It makes it impossible to see the other muppets flying around, either on their side when I’m creeping along to see if its safe, or on the wrong side, oblivious to anyone else who might be coming against them. And if everyone else is on one side, park on the same side; we have one obnoxious tw@t who likes to park on the opposite side, which takes out three spaces (as others have to leave space for moving vehicles to negotiate the slalom) and forces everyone else to do the slalom around his car.
Thanks
In Canada, and probably the US, you can get a fine/ticket for parking on the opposite side of the road. I seem to see this often in your videos. When is it allowed or not allowed?
It's allowed if the speed limit is 30mph or 20mph, and for some reason it isn't allowed at night (even though noone follows that rule)
Yep, this parking against traffic flow is also not allowed in Australia!
I'd be interested to hear your comments on keeping hands on the steering wheel while driving. Seriously, I'm not criticizing, I'm genuinely asking.
Here's a link to his video on steering
czcams.com/video/NAd8KTn-3P4/video.html
@@artemkatelnytskyi Thanks
Are you allowed to stop to drop someone off or pick them up on a double yellow lines?
Yep!
Ashley Neal thanks!
On my test, my examiner said I could park on the yellow lines or block a driveway. I tried not to, but sometimes I had to
You could, but some people will slash your tyres for blocking their driveway
@@airportdocumentaries yeah, I won't do it myself. Only during the test was it accepted
If an examiner says you may disregard drives and yellow lines for this exercise they are really trying to make you park closer to a parked vehicle in front to subsequently demonstrate an angled move off, possibly also uphill or a parallel parking exercise. Typically a suitable location will be void of parked cars to give the set up they want. You can always say, "Obviously I would not park here with normal driving" once you realise you have messed up followed by "I need to immediately move".
@@keith6400 yep, I had to pull over on a hill the first time and then the third pull just behind a car for my parallel park
GREAT
How close to a junction is ok to park, lovely video mate
10m+
@@ashley_neal thank you!
in Gorseinon Swansea double yellows are completely ignored
People have let passengers out when waiting for traffic lights before, and the traffic light has been green for a few seconds but the passenger is too busy getting their bag out of the boot. We all sat in the queue just waiting.
I don't think it was intentional to piss everyone off it was just bad timing.
I think that Ashley pretty much covered everything here. I will just add one thing............ use a bit of common sense (unlike some of the vehicles in these clips).
Thanks Ashley. Stay safe folks 👍
On roads not so wide try parking on only one side to keep your car in one piece especially if most of the others do that, they've obviously learned their lesson. 😃
10metres from a junction, is that 10m from the giveway line or what? Nothing seems especially clear about where the junction starts/how to measure the 10m
My test is in Wednesday hopefully i will pass I'm very nervous
What I'd challenge at 11:18 is that really, should those drivers not instead heed some of your earlier advice in the video, and just not park opposite each other - full stop? One on the road, one elsewhere, perhaps further down. It becomes such a grey area when we talk about leaving space for wheelchair users because people are fairly clueless when it comes to spacial awareness around them. Often people will think it's fine to park on the pavement but the road is still too narrow to allow an emergency vehicle through. Again in that case, just park elsewhere? Many of the examples in this video are just as disabling for partially or non-sighted people walking with guide dogs or canes/sticks. Be good to see grass verges covered in a video like this, too - if it's not a road surface, don't park on it.
Anywhere as long as your hazards are on.
Parking on cycle lanes usually by schools.
God knows why the taxi parked on the school yellow zig zags there weren't any houses on that side anyhow he should have reversed up the lowered pavement to the house the passenger was going to and increase his chances of a tip and giving the passenger a safer place to exit and remove luggage without hinderin passing traffic.
Mark C Littler it’s a taxi they don’t care where they park, money is more important than safety to them.
@@scottlaaa If money was more important they would think of going one better avoiding parking fines .from cameras many schools have outside and getting bigger tips out of customers by dropping them nearer the door.
Mark C Littler schools don’t have cameras around for parking around where i live, we have a vehicle which drives around and has cameras on but you never see it around school times. It’s always around areas where people overstay the two hour parking.
@@scottlaaa where there's money to be made you can be sure the council won't be far behind.
Just want to point out, up here in Scotland, the Government are giving local councils the power to ban parking on kerbs, I think it'll land you a parking ticket. I don't think it's in force yet and it'll depend on your local council.
It seems parking on the zig zags of a crossing is dangerous, so you should drive fully onto the pavement where it is perfectly safe! Parking on cycle paths is even safer!!
Giving a person with disabilities the middle finger isn't very nice.. Just park in the road or carpark.
@@mikewade777 You seem to have misunderstood my sarcasm, I only ride a cycle and often find cars parked in the cycleways also the clip shows drivers have avoided parking on the zigzigs by parking on the pavement beside the crossing, not what the law makers intended when they made parking on the zigzags illegal.
I failed my first test for parking on curb
It really annoys me when people slam the brakes on then indicate as they already turning i always indicate as early as possible to let everyone know what i intende to do so they can give me extra space to slow and turn into a side road indicators are usless if u use them after youve turned or at the last second
Ethan keenan yeah it’s annoying but if you’re following the car with a safe and ample stopping distance then it shouldn’t matter 🤷🏼♀️
@@jacintarene_ even if you did have a good distance you would still not know whst they were doing because they just slam there brakes on so you have tobslam yours on and it just accident waiting to happen
Ethan keenan if you have a safe stopping distance you shouldn’t need to perform an emergency brake. If you have a safe distance then you should be able to brake smoothly.
Not many places to park at all, are there? Perhaps you could do a video on how lacking places to park actually are. Put your dashcam on facing outward and tally up the amount of places you can park vs. the amount of places you can't. Can't wins.
Ashley you are not checking ur mirrors when entering new roads 😉 caught you 😂✌️
Cmon then. Tell everyone at what point in the video you “caught” me 😂
6:50 mate 😂 seriously i wished u were my instructor , u r so simple in delivering the information. My test is real soon, wish me luck guys 🙏
Good luck with your test 🤞. On the mirror check thing have a look again just before I say “any entrances” 😉 Let me know how you go with the test 👍
It seems to me that taxes are allowed to park where they like is this true 🤔
I live in London😢😪
So basically where can we park..if its almost don't park anywhere video 😄
A car park!
Ashley, the Skoda was a Private Hire: the rules of the road don't apply
At night park under a working lamp post for safety & security reasons.
Is it safe?is it legal?is it convenient?if not yes to all three then you shouldn't park there.
Outside a warehouse in Bootle.
I would like to also see a video talking about road users having little to no respect for pedestrians. A lot of drivers were I am from have no respect for them, so they do not yield for pedestrians or look out for them.
As both a road user and a pedestrian (I do drive a car but I also do a lot of walking and use public transport), I cannot understand why people with literal death machines put the lives of pedestrians in danger. I have have been hit by cars before from behind when some guy sped out of his narrow enclosed driveway and into the main road. Another time I was forced to go onto the main road because some goons parked their huge cars on the pavement as if they were parking bays. So I had to sprint on the road to get back on the pavement before getting hit. I could not just stand there and wait for the traffic to clear because I would have been there all day. Another time a guy zoomed passed me using the pavement and what I was holding scratched his expensive doors badly. He stopped, got out of his car and got pissed and threatened to kill ME despite him driving on the PAVEMENT to avoid traffic. Now I have to not only be careful of being attacked by people while walking on the pavement, I have to worry about being hit by a car too.
So, a video talking about why people are so oblivious would be nice. Thank you for the great videos, Ashley.
Just never do an Ace Ventura LIKE A GLOVE! impression.
The examiner never finds it funny
The argument for parking on the pavement simply to avoid road restriction for other vehicles when there are two vehicles parked opposite each other, is invalid (unless there is obvious allowance to do so), because the second car to park there (i.e. the one that parks opposite the one already there) should not be doing so and should find an alternative parking site.
My thoughts exactly.
There aren't many places to park in the UK thats why people parks badly and in the wrong place lol.
Not everyone does. I respect my car and other people. I park respectfully.
@@lone8869 Good for you then. I hate it when someone parks right on the pavement.
London is kind of bad for this with some of the parking restrictions. When I used to drive to uni my uni wouldn't let students in the car park but after 4:30 so had to park in a residential area. I did have respect for the people there if they wanted me to move as they had both students parking there along with parents parking to drop their kids off to the local nursery. Some of these parents can't even park where one person hit a parked car 🤦♂️
There are plenty of places to park where nobody wants to when nobody wants to.
I still can't get over the fact my local A&E (I say local when it's 60 miles away lol) have to put up with daily commuters driving to the hospital car park only to get the bus to work....why not just drive yourself to work and leave the hospital car park for those who are visiting friends and family? Hell it's that bad that even the hospital staff have gotten tickets for blocking access for the disabled because they can't find somewhere to park at the hospital they work at!
I myself have parked on the big lawn on the hospital grounds due to the car park being full.
I notice you drive a BMW and i heard an indicator noise 🤔 i call fake and edited video 😀

Dont forget...if you have a 'nice car' and dont want it scratched you can park across 2 bays like a selfish prick
Good video Ashley (again!). I often watch your clips and realise how plagued by parked cars Merseyside is - they reduce the quality of our public realm massively and it's the result of decades of policy and design to promote car use. Grim. Anyway, I'll be forwarding your video on to my friends at Wirral/Liverpool Pedestrians Association to watch. They are campaigning big time to get cars off pavements. For anyone interested, know that if you see a car parked that is blocking access to pedestrians (less than 1m of space is my guide) then take a photo and send it to mrsp@merseyside.police.uk with the time/date/location. The owner will be sent a warning letter :-)
