    My goodness I needed this! I am pretty good with driving but absolutely cannot park in between cars at all, I can only park on a huge empty parking lot and would still have to take 3 or 4 tries until I can get myself inside the line :D This helps so much! I'm a pretty methodical person, I need numbers, angles, etc., otherwise I wouldn't get it. So this is very very helpful!! The mirror thing is exactly the kind of info I need. Thank you so much!

      Learn to make small adjustments(like backing up and aligning the front wheels parallel to parking lines if the front wheels are not parallel to parking spot during first approach). There are some assumptions in this video, the cars already parked are parked in centre of parking spot(which you will not see often in busy parking lot esp apartment complex).secondly, the width of the parking spot is very large compared to car(small width will cause trouble for you to exit the car, or drivers/passengers to enter cars parked on eitherside), thirdly the length of cars already parked in parking spot(large trucks extended out slightly on the road, this will impact the timing of turning during intital approach to parking spot) fourthly, the distance between the opposite parking spots(important if there is good room to make adjustments without hitting car behind you). All these points need to be factored before safe parking.

    For those people that have fear to drive and preventing to start learning, here is a consolation and encouragement: I saw some videos where a driving school was showing 62, 70 years old ladies starting learning first time. The videos show the ladies learning. And the instructor is fabulous, spetacular. And the instructor makes cute and funny approach to the student either young or any age. He says like that: "use your little princess foot, light, gentle and slow." when using the gas, the clutch, etc if manual car. These 62, 70 years old ladies were learning in a manual car shift stick. Now I wonder how the instructor addresses to a grown up dude, of course, no little princess foot. LOL.

      Quarta Aula de Direção - Dona Maria Lucia - 62 anos. The instructor has many videos from lesson 1 up to your test mock. I suggest you learn manual stick that is extra skill, and then you can impress your girls with the sport car with stick shift driving in the hills of San Francisco. I decided to learn manual and I did the test with the manual car. I did very well in the test handling the manual shift, the clutch, etc but I lost few points with a very basic thing backing up the car straight for long distance, I was going straight, then not straight, I guess my eyes were in wrong direction. Even today, I don't like to back up long distance, I avoid at all cost. it's not safe anyway. So learn shift stick, and then for the exam you choose the type of car you want. I suggest you practice with an official reputable school with few classes, practice with the videos, then get a person to start practicing over and over until the day of the test, then choose a DMV place from different city that does not have difficult intersections, too busy road to leave and enter the DMV.

    One of the best tips to add to this is if the space between the rows are narrow, drive a bit further before turning so you can "slide" in easier. If you don't pull a bit further ahead, you won't get the arch needed and you will be doing backing and driving forward a couple of times.
