My Dad was a driver’s examiner! For many, many years I had a driving test every time we went for a drive! About 40 years of drivers exams! Cherish your time with your Dad! He does seem like an awesome fella!
When backing up, use your rear view mirror and side view mirrors to help you align properly into the parking place. Your Dad appears to have kept his cool throughout the whole learning process, so that's definitely a plus. :)
Can't tell you how much I agree with that last part! Our dad was far too easily embarrassed by our occasional mess-ups (c'mon - everyone stalls once or twice) he'd stress us totally, get angry with us, we'd end in tears and that'd be the end of it. HE didn't like looking like an idiot in front of people on the road.
I had to take drivers ed. twice. Not proud but I knew I had to to feel more comfortable. I’m into my 60’s now and never had an accident. Knock on wood. You go girl, you got this.
Good job Nevaeh!! I don't blame you for being nervous about parallel parking. I avoid it at all cost and I'm 66!! You will do fine on your test. Good luck!
Your dad in a hardware store is just like me - completely mesmerized by the fascinating world of tools I realize just then I absolutely need. Keeping my fingers crossed for your driver's license! I think you're doing quite well.
Parking was my trouble area way back when I was learning. Keep practicing and you'll be a pro! Love watching you and your dad having quality time together.
Congrats. Keep up the good work. 36 years ago I had my dad stand at one end and my brother at the other and I parallel parked between them. Success was not hitting them. Glad to say both are doing well lol. You did amazing.
Navaeh, you did an amazing job! You will get more used to how it feels to turn into a parking spot and how to better judge your distance. Parking was one of the most intimidating skills for me to master when I got my license. And don't feel bad about not having your license just yet. I didn't fully feel really confident to go for my driver's test until I was 20. It will all become second nature to you soon enough. Keep up the good work! 💕
I give you major props for parallel parking in a huge truck like that. Seriously! I know a lot of people that can't parallel park to save their life- most because they're afraid. But you handled it sooo well- especially in a big vehicle. Good job- you deserve your license!!
Nevaeh, you have to remember that there is three ways to park a vehicle. There is a right way, wrong way, and your way. Life is just all about doing the best that you can and don't depend on others opinion. Safety is alway the first step, your parents are outstanding. Happy Easter 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen!!!
There are a few things that helped me spacially get parking better when I got a different vehicle: Walk around the vehicle and check it out (tires o.k.? Any new scratches? Doors locked?) each time before you get in. Indirectly, you are getting familiar with its shape and size. Washing the vehicle. Same idea. Get out and check the lines, the location of the curb myself, every time. Park near the same spot each time in a lot. Practice a system for remembering where you are parked. Looking for features of your vehicle indirectly reinforces your familiarity with it overall. Fold in the side view mirrors in drive-through windows. Helps you get closer and not whack them too. Off-road some. Seeing what your vehicle can handle builds confidence in it. Use seat adjustments if you have them to sit higher, look above the steering wheel. Practice in different lots, curbside locations, driveways, etc. of course! Nothing like lining up with the rails in an automatic car wash to give you a sense of where the tires are! Godspeed m'lady!
Dad you do have an affinity for levels. As a carpenter for thirty years I concur. Good luck on getting your license kiddo it's a nerve racking milestone for sure.
Wtg. Parallel parking has always been difficult for me. But I went on to bring a long haul trucker by myself hauling wide load boats and delivering to marinas in the 11 western states if I could master it so can you you did an awesome job today I'm proud of you
You did a great job! Confidence… you CAN and DID it! Just a matter of driving/parking every day. I had to learn how to drive/park in Chicago… busy, busy roads but I was determined and I accomplished my goal. You will too!
Great job driving and parking Nevaeh! So happy for you! And I do love watching your video's. (I'm a mother of three grown children and the grandma of nine grown grandchildren. The oldest is 26 and the youngest is 14. Six boys and three girls.)
Great job girl !!! Get your dad to set up a couple saw horses or boxes at your place and practice your parrelle parking between them, great practice what I did with my girls !!!
Ugh, parallel parking. It's just not something anyone does very often, so we're ALL bad at it! 🤣 What a fun, confidence building day with your dad. You'll have your license in no time!
Taught my kids… when starting to park .. look at the middle of the car hood and steer the car into the middle of the parking spot! works every time! ( especially if there is a hood ornament to focus on…)
Mark some parking spaces in the yard outside your own house with paint , this way you can practise parking on your own anytime you want to as much as you want to, I did this for my wife when she was learning to drive, she was able to park perfectly before she ever went out on the road. You can make different spaces for reverse and parallel parking and practice them all at home, just like homeschooling your own driving lesson plan.
There is so little parallel parking anymore but they still make you do it for the test! Good job. Everyone should learn in a big truck, that way you can drive anything with no problems. Love the way you and your siblings are such a perfect physical combination of your parents. Superficially, you look like your dad, but your facial expressions bring out your mom. Lovely.
I remember taking my son to parking lots to practice all sorts of parking. Brought back so many memories. Thanks. All you need to do is practice, practice, practice and then once you have your license you will NEVER parallel park AGAIN - HA. 😁
Absolutely BEST vehicle to practice driving! I learned how to drive in a two vehicles: 1) 1966 Buick Skylark and 2) 1982 GMC Suburban. Because the vehicles were so large, I really learned how to park, handle driving beastly vehicles in wet and snow and the big test ding for many...PARALLEL parking! When I took my driving test and was told to parallel park, I nailed it...parking 6" from the curb. The Examiner made me pull out, go around the block and parallel park again; 6" from the curb AGAIN! Embrace the large vehicle @Nevaeh...it'll make you a much better driver!
My first car was 1969 ford falcon. I had to sit on a pillow and had to have a pillow behind my back just to reach the peddles and reach the steering wheel comfortably!
Best way to learn how to parallel park is to use 4 empty parking spaces & where the lines are straight not on an angle. Use one space to pull in & then back into the one opposite to the rear opposite space , also have your dad stand in the spot on the right side of where you first pull up as if a car is parked infront of where your parallel parking. Also you can move your side view mirrors by adjusting them to see the road & bottom of your tires on both sides, don't forget to adjust them back after you've parallel parked.
I had flashbacks of teaching my daughter and son to drive. Both are strong drives 15+ years later. Nice job, dad. Nevaeh, don't overthink it. Just do what you've been taught.
You did FanTastic for your first time parallel parking! Woo hoo! My mom taught me to parallel park. She said to line my back tires up with the car behind me’s front tires. That was Super Helpful when I was parking without anyone else in the car, especially when I took my road test. You totally got this.
Well done Nevaeh. Learning to drive is not easy! Not when everyone is watching anyway!😂 I was doing a parallel park last week in a tight space, and my foot brake stopped working properly! I had to use the handbrake instead! 🥴
I had the same problem. Now I’m ancient and when my kids learned to drive I took them to the school parking lot on the weekend to practice over and over and over. Once you get it you’ll be golden👍
Oh my goodness! Good luck, my dad taught me. We did it my high school parking lot. It was ugly!! My dad me so well that I can back up anywhere. Dads are great.
This video was so heartwarming! My eyes are fighting back tears. Through-out I kept saying, "Wow, that's what a father-daughter relationship is supposed to look like." Beautiful.
Looks like you’ll be getting that license soon. This was an AWSOME video ! Hilarious!I I have been watching your family for years and this video rates up there with the happy dance 😂. Loved it !
Naveah! You did so much better than I did! I still to this day do NOT parallel park and I do not back into parking spots. Well, I should say I haven't driven since 2012 when I gave up my driver's license for a regular ID because of my eyesight. I am impressed with how well you did! You nailed it! Good luck getting your license I have every confidence that you will pass with flying colors!
Couldn’t have had a better teacher! One more practice session and you’re ready! Most states have done away with parallel parking, you may want to check yours! Enjoyed your videos!
Great work Nevaeh! The best driving instruction I ever received was for my CDL. It changed everything. It sounds so boring to discuss technical jargon but learning where your vehicle's turn radius is and how to use site guides on your vehicle make everything so much easier. Get comfy with those mirrors. I cheered when you didn't let the size of the truck intimidate you and I'll cheer biggly all the way from NW GA when you pass that driver's test! You go girl!
What a fun daddy-daughter driving lesson/shopping trip. You both looked so good in those cowboy hats. Should have bought them! And you are doing really well at parking, too. 🙂
Well Naveha, you did an awesome job girl!! Yay! You did have an awesome dad guiding you, helping. He was so sweet in the way that he was instructing you. He was so calm as an instructor should be. I didn't see him making you nerves or yelling or getting on to you because you didn't park in between the lines the first time. Oh, and not to mention you driving that big truck for the first time! Girl, you got this!! You did awesome!!! You will get your license on your next attempt, for sure.
I am over 75 and have driven since I was 17, you parallel parked better the first time than what I do now. I hate to parallel park and will avoid at all cost, even if it means walking a couple blocks.
You did great. I, like you, was taught by my Dad and he was a police officer. I loved it. When I was learning to drive, we did not have automatics. My Dad, purposefully, took me on a hill that had a stop sign on it. Lol. After several, several attempts of not stalling it with a jerking motion and not enough gas, I finally did it. Lol there several cars behind me too to add to the frustration and humiliation. But a hill never intimidated me again. Point is that parking will not intimidate you either. Just need the experience. Great job by the way on the parallel parking. You did better on your first attempt than most people never do on their 1000th attempt. You go girl.
Nevaeh-great job on driving and parking including parallel parking-I still cannot do that to this day and I have been driving a really loong time. No worries on your driving test - you will be just fine. 🚗🚗
Well done!!!! I remember my mom made us learn how to drive a stick shift and she picked the steepest hill near our home to have us stop at the top and take off. Goodness, never thought I'd need that lesson and dreaded those lessons but they were so helpful because my second car was a stick and sure enough sitting in traffic on a hill, those lessons kicked in.
Hey Nevaeh, super video. I taught both daughters, 3 nieces and a couple of our friends' kids while I was still an officer. I was part of the Field Training Officers group in our department and honing new folks driving skills with finesse and situational awareness was my favorite skills to work on. My daughters both felt that they had to go far beyond what other kids did but now with adult kids of their own, they are exellent drivers and super driving coaches. I have to admit that I was just a bit jealous of your dad as those times I spent with my ladies was among the best times of my life. Thanks for the sweet reminder (and you didn't roll your eyes or blow your bangs once)! 😅
Well done. In the UK, the parking for the test is all reverse or parallel. My dad was a rally driver for a hobby, and he taught me to drive. Hours of reversing in figure of 8's and parking between traffic cones, using only side mirrors, in a gravel carpark, with holes so big you could sit in them, in the dark, just street lights and the car lights. His thinking was, if I damage the car, it's mine, therefore I have to pay for the repairs. Now I can reverse perfectly, parallel parking almost as good (depends if you've got some twit too close and not watching your signals) Set up a few hay bales, as if you are in a parking area, and practice. The fact you live where you do, it's private and I assume, you can drive on the land with no licence. It's much easier when you're on your own and no one watching and talking in the car, also I found the bigger the car the better, because you tend to naturally leave enough space for your own vehicle. Well done Nevaeh.
Ok, This girl Dad is now got a tear or two in my eyes from watching this a remembering taking trips like this with my daughter. These days go by so fast. Cherish this. Keep on making great content like this!
You done a fantastic job young lady your daddy is the sweetest person and your mother love the both of them you're learning from the best good luck getting your license sweetheart and God bless you and your family see you in your next video
Great job! If you can parallel park that big ole truck, you can park anything. When I was 16 (54 years ago) and practicing my parallel parking a day before the test, I hit my dads car and didn’t stop until I put a looong crease all the way down the side of his car…he watched from the sidelines. I was devastated, but he made me continue to practice, saying what more harm could I do. I aced the test!. It was a “fond” memory most of my life which we laughed about often. Keep practicing.
Hi Niveah - we (The Zippsters on YT) are faithful followers of your family’s channel 😀 glad this came into our feed. What a thing this learning to drive is! Your generation are so natural to it compared to in my day - we’re golden oldies - one summer day a couple of days before my 16th birthday (legal driving age in BC) my Dad came home with a loaner vehicle from his mechanic. It was an automatic so he said “come on Ruthie” this will be easy for you to drive. So, with my girlfriends waiting at my place, off he and I went, I made it down ½ a block, along the next and at the second corner panicked 😱when I couldn’t straighten out, drove through a fence and crashed into a neighbour’s house. Little had my Dad known I didn’t know a brake pedal from a gas pedal. You and your Dad did great. All the best on driver’s test day.
Every vehicle feels different when parking. So just keep that in mind when switching vehicles. It just take time to get use to all of it. Keep up the great work! My grandma was my best teacher I had for driving probably because she had to go through it before.
This a idea ... When teaching my neighbor to park. We made a parking lot that had all kinds of spots to park in. This maybe easier since you don't get a lot of drive time.
I did the same with my daughter. We practiced parking until she was sure she didn't even want to drive anymore... lol. She's an amazing parker now. You'll get there! Do curb parking as well. It'll serve you well. Good luck, darlin'!
I had to teach all four of my sister's how to drive...I've realized two things, one you have to appreciate student drivers teachers and two, patience is a virtue 🤭
Well done! Considering you have a large property, you could create your own parking places at home to practice in. Using cans or something that you can put in lines that you can see you can create parallel car parks, reverse parallel parking places, front parking spaces and reversing car parks and 45° parks. The more practice the easier it gets!
the secret to backing up anything is trust your mirrors. decide when you want to park first, when you start moving, go really slow but don't stop moving. let the mirrors tell you which way to turn your wheel. leave you brain out of it. it works on whether you are parking a car, truck, or truck and trailer. the rear tires on whatever you are parking is the key getting parked in the right spot. you guys might want to try out some cones for parking and parallel parking. the measurements for the cones for your state test should online somewhere. I taught my kids these methods and it worked wonders.
A police officer teaching you to drive is pretty epic
Excellent job. Great father daughter day out.😅
I agree!! Jeremy did what I used to do with my own kids! Good job both of you!!!!
This was a “GREAT” video but the American 🇺🇸 Flag waving in slow motion was absolutely beautiful

My Dad was a driver’s examiner! For many, many years I had a driving test every time we went for a drive! About 40 years of drivers exams! Cherish your time with your Dad! He does seem like an awesome fella!
Love this relationship she has with her parents and watching her blossom into an adult👍🇬🇧
You got this young lady ... such a confidence booster ... thanks Dad!
Yea Nevaeh. You did so good and two thumbs up for keeping your dad under control. he was like a kid in a candy store. Good job keeping him in check.
Judging by that haul I don’t think she was that successful 😆
@@tmacmi9095 The bed of the truck wasn't filled up. :p
I love the way you and your dad interact and have fun. 👍🏻👍🏻
did better than i do with parallel parking!! you will nail it, go get your license girl :)
When backing up, use your rear view mirror and side view mirrors to help you align properly into the parking place. Your Dad appears to have kept his cool throughout the whole learning process, so that's definitely a plus. :)
Can't tell you how much I agree with that last part! Our dad was far too easily embarrassed by our occasional mess-ups (c'mon - everyone stalls once or twice) he'd stress us totally, get angry with us, we'd end in tears and that'd be the end of it. HE didn't like looking like an idiot in front of people on the road.
I had to take drivers ed. twice. Not proud but I knew I had to to feel more comfortable. I’m into my 60’s now and never had an accident. Knock on wood. You go girl, you got this.
Good job Nevaeh!! I don't blame you for being nervous about parallel parking. I avoid it at all cost and I'm 66!! You will do fine on your test. Good luck!
Your dad in a hardware store is just like me - completely mesmerized by the fascinating world of tools I realize just then I absolutely need. Keeping my fingers crossed for your driver's license! I think you're doing quite well.
Parking was my trouble area way back when I was learning. Keep practicing and you'll be a pro! Love watching you and your dad having quality time together.
Congrats. Keep up the good work. 36 years ago I had my dad stand at one end and my brother at the other and I parallel parked between them. Success was not hitting them. Glad to say both are doing well lol. You did amazing.

You got this! hope you get your license this year! Keep on practicing! Stay safe! - from the Philippines
I give you major props for parallel parking in a huge truck like that. Seriously! I know a lot of people that can't parallel park to save their life- most because they're afraid. But you handled it sooo well- especially in a big vehicle. Good job- you deserve your license!!
Nevaeh, you have to remember that there is three ways to park a vehicle. There is a right way, wrong way, and your way. Life is just all about doing the best that you can and don't depend on others opinion. Safety is alway the first step, your parents are outstanding. Happy Easter 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen!!!
That was fun to watch. Keep on practicing! Love to watch your close relationship with your Dad. This reminds me of my younger days with my Dad!
There are a few things that helped me spacially get parking better when I got a different vehicle:
Walk around the vehicle and check it out (tires o.k.? Any new scratches? Doors locked?) each time before you get in. Indirectly, you are getting familiar with its shape and size.
Washing the vehicle. Same idea.
Get out and check the lines, the location of the curb myself, every time.
Park near the same spot each time in a lot.
Practice a system for remembering where you are parked. Looking for features of your vehicle indirectly reinforces your familiarity with it overall.
Fold in the side view mirrors in drive-through windows. Helps you get closer and not whack them too.
Off-road some. Seeing what your vehicle can handle builds confidence in it.
Use seat adjustments if you have them to sit higher, look above the steering wheel.
Practice in different lots, curbside locations, driveways, etc. of course!
Nothing like lining up with the rails in an automatic car wash to give you a sense of where the tires are!
Godspeed m'lady!
Great job! Your Dad is a great and patient teacher!
Dad you do have an affinity for levels. As a carpenter for thirty years I concur. Good luck on getting your license kiddo it's a nerve racking milestone for sure.
Well done Nevaeh you smashed it and well done daddy for getting lots of shopping 😂😂😂
Wtg. Parallel parking has always been difficult for me. But I went on to bring a long haul trucker by myself hauling wide load boats and delivering to marinas in the 11 western states if I could master it so can you you did an awesome job today I'm proud of you
You got this looked good to me! I’m 71 years old and I still am terrible at parallel parking. Looks like you are ready GO FOR IT!
You did a great job! Confidence… you CAN and DID it! Just a matter of driving/parking every day. I had to learn how to drive/park in Chicago… busy, busy roads but I was determined and I accomplished my goal. You will too!
Sweet girl you did it I love watching your dad teach you . You've got this your ready.❤
Great job driving and parking Nevaeh! So happy for you! And I do love watching your video's. (I'm a mother of three grown children and the grandma of nine grown grandchildren. The oldest is 26 and the youngest is 14. Six boys and three girls.)
Great job girl !!! Get your dad to set up a couple saw horses or boxes at your place and practice your parrelle parking between them, great practice what I did with my girls !!!
Brilliant idea.👍
That's what I did. Set up my stepdad's saw horses and practiced parallel parking until I got it done.
You're doing brilliantly Nevaeh and will have your licence in no time at all! Lovely to see you and your dad out and about together XXX
I was truly a late bloomer. Took driving lessons at 29 and got 1st car at 30. You are doing very very well! Congrats🎉!
Ugh, parallel parking. It's just not something anyone does very often, so we're ALL bad at it! 🤣 What a fun, confidence building day with your dad. You'll have your license in no time!
Taught my kids… when starting to park .. look at the middle of the car hood and steer the car into the middle of the parking spot! works every time! ( especially if there is a hood ornament to focus on…)

Embrace the large vehicle @Nevaeh...it'll make you a much better driver!
Best of luck. I learned to drive with a 4 on the floor standard transmission, picking up bails of hay and hauling wood for our heat at home.
Now this is what I call Father and daughter day out. Enjoyed every moment of this video. Great job on the driving Nevaeh.
My first car was 1969 ford falcon. I had to sit on a pillow and had to have a pillow behind my back just to reach the peddles and reach the steering wheel comfortably!
You are both intelligent and capable. There’s absolutely nothing you can’t accomplish if you’re willing to invest a bit of time. You’ve got this! 😊
Well done Nevaeh! Much love and light from South Africa! And also kudos to your dad of course!!
Best way to learn how to parallel park is to use 4 empty parking spaces & where the lines are straight not on an angle. Use one space to pull in & then back into the one opposite to the rear opposite space , also have your dad stand in the spot on the right side of where you first pull up as if a car is parked infront of where your parallel parking. Also you can move your side view mirrors by adjusting them to see the road & bottom of your tires on both sides, don't forget to adjust them back after you've parallel parked.
Parking a long truck is tricky. Perpendicular spots to the right are very difficult, better backing in. Nice job on parallel parking.
All of the "Is this what we came here for" is great. Very same experience that I had with my father when i was your age!
I’ve been driving for 40 years and I still would never attempt to parallel park that giant truck. GOOD JOB!!!!
I remember when I got my license, I was nervous at first then I got used to driveing.
I had flashbacks of teaching my daughter and son to drive. Both are strong drives 15+ years later.
Nice job, dad. Nevaeh, don't overthink it. Just do what you've been taught.
Slot parking is always the hardest. I could back in easier than pull in when I tested for my license. You got this!
Wish that I had a Dad like Nevaeh's when I was growing up...
My daughter learned to drive my F-150, with the help of a pillow pet, just to see over the steering column. Practice makes perfect so keep it up. 😊
Father/daughter bonding at its finest. Love it!!
Love the “Father, Daughter time!” PRICELESS…
You did FanTastic for your first time parallel parking! Woo hoo!
My mom taught me to parallel park. She said to line my back tires up with the car behind me’s front tires. That was Super Helpful when I was parking without anyone else in the car, especially when I took my road test.

I'm 5'3". I can park a tank, actual personal carrier. It just takes practice, practice and practice. I've got faith in you!!!
I think you did an excellent job with your parking. Your dad is so goofy, love it! Many blessings on your driving/parking!💜🤗🙏🏻

Nevaeh-great job on driving and parking including parallel parking-I still cannot do that to this day and I have been driving a really loong time. No worries on your driving test - you will be just fine. 🚗🚗
Well done!!!! I remember my mom made us learn how to drive a stick shift and she picked the steepest hill near our home to have us stop at the top and take off. Goodness, never thought I'd need that lesson and dreaded those lessons but they were so helpful because my second car was a stick and sure enough sitting in traffic on a hill, those lessons kicked in.
Great parking skills and great Dad skills kudos to you both!
What a beautiful young lady. You did a great job. You need to give yourself more credit.
Jeremy you should always get a level that is either blue water or clear water cause the graduation lines are tighter together
Hey Nevaeh, super video. I taught both daughters, 3 nieces and a couple of our friends' kids while I was still an officer. I was part of the Field Training Officers group in our department and honing new folks driving skills with finesse and situational awareness was my favorite skills to work on. My daughters both felt that they had to go far beyond what other kids did but now with adult kids of their own, they are exellent drivers and super driving coaches.
I have to admit that I was just a bit jealous of your dad as those times I spent with my ladies was among the best times of my life. Thanks for the sweet reminder (and you didn't roll your eyes or blow your bangs once)! 😅
Well done. In the UK, the parking for the test is all reverse or parallel. My dad was a rally driver for a hobby, and he taught me to drive. Hours of reversing in figure of 8's and parking between traffic cones, using only side mirrors, in a gravel carpark, with holes so big you could sit in them, in the dark, just street lights and the car lights. His thinking was, if I damage the car, it's mine, therefore I have to pay for the repairs. Now I can reverse perfectly, parallel parking almost as good (depends if you've got some twit too close and not watching your signals) Set up a few hay bales, as if you are in a parking area, and practice. The fact you live where you do, it's private and I assume, you can drive on the land with no licence. It's much easier when you're on your own and no one watching and talking in the car, also I found the bigger the car the better, because you tend to naturally leave enough space for your own vehicle. Well done Nevaeh.
I had a coach in circus that always to say to use. It's better to do one once of practice than 10 tonnes of theory ;) ;) You got it girl.
Ok, This girl Dad is now got a tear or two in my eyes from watching this a remembering taking trips like this with my daughter. These days go by so fast. Cherish this. Keep on making great content like this!
You are doing a great job. I do not like parallel parking. Dad, you are a great teacher. God bless y'all.
You done a fantastic job young lady your daddy is the sweetest person and your mother love the both of them you're learning from the best good luck getting your license sweetheart and God bless you and your family see you in your next video
Good job, Nevaeh! All it takes is practice. Once you get your license, you'll be wanting to borrow the car daily.
Great job! If you can parallel park that big ole truck, you can park anything. When I was 16 (54 years ago) and practicing my parallel parking a day before the test, I hit my dads car and didn’t stop until I put a looong crease all the way down the side of his car…he watched from the sidelines. I was devastated, but he made me continue to practice, saying what more harm could I do. I aced the test!. It was a “fond” memory most of my life which we laughed about often. Keep practicing.
You have got the BEST parents! You've got this!
The cowboy hat with the buffalo coat would be epic!
Hi Niveah - we (The Zippsters on YT) are faithful followers of your family’s channel 😀 glad this came into our feed. What a thing this learning to drive is! Your generation are so natural to it compared to in my day - we’re golden oldies - one summer day a couple of days before my 16th birthday (legal driving age in BC) my Dad came home with a loaner vehicle from his mechanic. It was an automatic so he said “come on Ruthie” this will be easy for you to drive. So, with my girlfriends waiting at my place, off he and I went, I made it down ½ a block, along the next and at the second corner panicked 😱when I couldn’t straighten out, drove through a fence and crashed into a neighbour’s house. Little had my Dad known I didn’t know a brake pedal from a gas pedal.
You and your Dad did great. All the best on driver’s test day.
Great video Nevaeh.....soooo funny! Practice makes perfect, soon you will be able to park without even thinking/worrying about it......
Every vehicle feels different when parking. So just keep that in mind when switching vehicles. It just take time to get use to all of it. Keep up the great work! My grandma was my best teacher I had for driving probably because she had to go through it before.
You are both hilarious driving and Mac Donald’sat the hardware store hahaha!
Girl, you need to go for it. Go take that test. You will do just fine. After the pressure is off you will feel so much better❤❤❤❤❤
Nevaeh, you can’t take him anywhere, right? ROTFL!
Loved your cowboy strut! Hahaha! ❤️ 🇦🇺
This a idea ... When teaching my neighbor to park. We made a parking lot that had all kinds of spots to park in. This maybe easier since you don't get a lot of drive time.
For parallel parking go door handle to door handle and cut the wheel. Works every time after 30 yrs of parking in Boston. You’ll do great.
I did the same with my daughter. We practiced parking until she was sure she didn't even want to drive anymore... lol. She's an amazing parker now. You'll get there! Do curb parking as well. It'll serve you well. Good luck, darlin'!
I had to teach all four of my sister's how to drive...I've realized two things, one you have to appreciate student drivers teachers and two, patience is a virtue 🤭
Well done!
Considering you have a large property, you could create your own parking places at home to practice in.
Using cans or something that you can put in lines that you can see you can create parallel car parks, reverse parallel parking places, front parking spaces and reversing car parks and 45° parks.
The more practice the easier it gets!
the secret to backing up anything is trust your mirrors. decide when you want to park first, when you start moving, go really slow but don't stop moving. let the mirrors tell you which way to turn your wheel. leave you brain out of it. it works on whether you are parking a car, truck, or truck and trailer. the rear tires on whatever you are parking is the key getting parked in the right spot. you guys might want to try out some cones for parking and parallel parking. the measurements for the cones for your state test should online somewhere. I taught my kids these methods and it worked wonders.
