The very minimum this video tutorial teaches is: One. Find the cheat that works for your seat position and your vehicle, and use it to save damage to your self your vehicle or somebody else or their vehicle. Two. Many folks are not taught that similar simple tricks or shortcuts exist in all life circumstances. Three. One simply needs to become aware of such tricks, and then use them for themselves in their own set of circumstances. Thank you sir, for opening my eyes. I am a truck driver in the US and use all kinds of tricks to safely Park, Drive, and maneuver my 75 foot tractor-trailer.
For not hitting the car next to you when opening your own car's door, I always open the door very slowly when that risk exists. In that way, if the door hits the other car, then so gently that there will be no damage.
This is 100% wrong. If you adjust your side mirrors as recommended here you will have your side mirrors and rear view mirror almost completely overlapping in coverage. To prove this, go sit in your car in a parking lot and look at your mirrors. Your side mirrors will be showing you the same cars as your rear view mirror. 99% of people make this mistake because it is intuitive to line your mirrors up with the side of your car, but this creates a blind spot. To eliminate this blind spot push your side mirrors outward until they don’t quite overlap the view from your rear view. Now you will see as you drive as a car passes alongside you it will appear in your rear view mirror, then your side mirror, then as it’s leaving your side mirror it will appear in your peripheral vision. You will never need to turn your head to look behind you with this method.
Or buy those tiny add-on mirrors that you stick to each side mirror and adjust it to eliminate that blind spot from each side mirror itself. It will cost next to nothing.
Never understood people who have to see their own car in their side mirrors. It’s not going anywhere. But that car to the side and slightly behind you sure is…
But not every person is of the same height. Mirror settings will vary depending on the height of the person. What will work for one person will not work for another person. Also cars are very different and some of the tips given in this video do not work when you're parking next to a HGV.
Actually your side view mirrors should be adjusted to eliminate blind spots beside you so if they are adjusted properly you won’t actually be able to see the side of your car without leaning to one side or the other
Correct. And you will notice that there is an overlap area between each side mirror and the extreme edges of the rear view mirror if you do this. That way, there is never a spot that you can't see behind you in your mirrors.
0:17 - 0:24 It's better to adjust both outside mirrors so you don't have any blindspots. You don't need to see what's directly behind you from the side mirrors.
Right? Nissan Zs have vertical, almost hidden door handles, the Dodge Viper has it on the actual frame. Good luck to your insurance if you ever hit one of those
Here’s an unrelated but useful rearview mirror tip. When pulling a trailer no matter what semi boat camper snowmobile and you need to back up. Especially useful for ramps or backing into garages or between other vehicles. Place your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. And do not remove it. Do not change position of your hand on the wheel. And moving the wheel from the bottom 6 o clock position to the left the trailer will go left. From the bottom to the right the the trailer will go right.
When your car is parked do a walk-around to check all door handles if there is a coin inserted in gap of door handle. Criminals do this so they can wait for the owner to leave then come back to open car door without in some cases even setting off alarm. Also watch out for plastic water bottles stuffed into wheel well space. Criminals do this so when you start your car and drive you hear a loud grating noise and think something is wrong with the tire, you stop the car get out to look at what's wrong, then the person sneaks up and jumps in the car idling and drives away.
What if your car has flat door handles? Destroys 75% of your theories straight away. What if the doors on your car are bigger than your BMW? Again, blows your theory out of the water. As it was mentioned in another comment, what works for you in your car may not work in another! BUT, good on you for noticing what works best for you, most people don't even know where their car can fit, let alone being able to reverse park.
Surely, lining up the door handlw withthe bonnet of your car, depends on the hight of your own card bonnet? For example, if you are in a low sports car, the door handle in front will never line up with your bonnet, and you will end up driving into it lol
When you can no longer see the door handle of the car perpendicular to the front of your car, you must always press the throttle pedal as hard as you possibly can.
An Asian teaching people "hot tips" on cars & driving, which are the most basic knowledge going, is almost poetic in its reproduction of the stereotype.
Typical VW. All cars seem to come from the factory with at least one nonworking light. Seems like the driver's reverse light is out on his car, at least that's what it looked like to me.
I don’t know what those babbling will do when they can’t be the “HOA” of social site to tell them what they say or do is wrong. They’re ALL coming down soon!
You are too good, You are very good Teacher, I request please speak slowly so that Indian people can understand. As many would be able to apply your guidance
Everything you said is a load of crap. I mean perhaps it works on a few specific model vehicles, if you are of average height (9.85 bananas tall), and mirrors adjusted in an exact way, but this in no way applies to all vehicles or even a marginal fraction of them. Where I'm from, they teach you to turn your head and literally look behind you. If you're too lazy or disabled to do that, you probably shouldn't be driving in the first place.
This won’t be applicable for all car types and also can vary based on seat height adjustment and persons seting postures.
Not to mention height difference. Short people will not have the same POV as a tall person
* sitting postures
@Adam not true. Only Tesla has them currently. And if you own a Tesla, well….
Right. Not all individuals are equal heights when they sit.
That’s the 6th secret: the door handle tricks don’t always work.

😎👆 Adjust accordingly,
car & driver's dimensions vary

Thank you for being thoughtful of others property! Speaks volumes about you.
@@audio3980 Thanks 🙂
I always open slowly as well as put my hand on the edge of my door so I'll feel the next car before the door even touches it
That's even more careful 🙂
I always grab the door by the edge at the most prominent part so that if something hits the neighbor it's my hand, not the door.
Allthis applies to one specific person in one specific car. Change any variable, and none of it applies anymore.
只是用跟个别的人在个别的车。

And here's why they say we Asians cant drive.. cuz we learnt it from this guy. Smh. 🤣
Those babbling show know that this is just a guide, an inspiration to get your own reference points to achieve what you want when driving.
Exactly! All these nah sayers think they’re the “HOA” of these social sites & it’s their job to find fault in everything ppl say & do!
This is true because every single car ever produce has had the exact same dimensions and the handle is always located in exactly the same place.
Good point sir. 😂 Rotfl.

@@williamgeardener2509 It looks like my sarcasm was not blatant enough.
@@souldreamer9056 Indeed it wasn't. Try harder next time.
This is 100% for people with no peripheral vision. Good on him helping his fellow people.
Depends on your height, sitting position and the dimensions of your car.
Should I use the same exact mirror adjustments for my side view mirrors if I’m 5’5
Actually your side view mirrors should be adjusted to eliminate blind spots beside you so if they are adjusted properly you won’t actually be able to see the side of your car without leaning to one side or the other

Most of that only works with certain cars. If I relied on this I would do damage to a lot of cars!
0:17 - 0:24 It's better to adjust both outside mirrors so you don't have any blindspots. You don't need to see what's directly behind you from the side mirrors.
How about sports cars with door handles in the bodywork?
Right? Nissan Zs have vertical, almost hidden door handles, the Dodge Viper has it on the actual frame. Good luck to your insurance if you ever hit one of those
Also when overtaking other vehicles if your mirror falls off try leaving more of a gap.
Here’s an unrelated but useful rearview mirror tip.
When pulling a trailer no matter what semi boat camper snowmobile and you need to back up. Especially useful for ramps or backing into garages or between other vehicles.

Don't think these are applicable on all cars (hatchback, sedan, suv, vans, etc.) in every country
The saddest thing is there are a lot of people who will believe these lies
Protip: save a link to this video for your insurance company. I’m sure they’ll agree that it wasn’t your fault!

When I had driving lessons the instructor used different parts of the car for reference when manoeuvring. It's a good method. Thanks for the video.
I feel like someone found the video and didn't understand the original language but then dubbed in their own dialog anyways.
Never “hit the brakes immediately” as this video suggests, unless you have lost control of your vehicle.
This will not work in Texas 😂
Thank you for the video!
I’m sure it’s helpful with less trucks around.
Is your videos applicable to right hand steering wheel cars used in India
Bruh, this is applicable only to his height and his car. It doesn't apply to all cars.
Ya find it, I didn't find good view using this
in india you just slam the car bhai
When you can no longer see the door handle of the car perpendicular to the front of your car, you must always press the throttle pedal as hard as you possibly can.
I'd gave given you a thumbs up if this was in landscape.
Do you turn your tv on it's side to watch it?
Well I luv thus channel, it's sort of food for thought! It's not a 1 fit, fits all! And slow down!!😅
Only for sedan cars. But, nonetheless. Brilliant content.
This will not be effective with all cars
The backing with car handle and estimating position using the steering wheel is one of the best and widely applicable

Before,i don't know.now I see,that's so kind of you
When stop at side way. Just make sure you look back first before get out. Even open just a little bit .
Most of what i 'learnt' here doesn't work on any of my 3 cars, none of which are more than 5 years old - How disappointing !! 😅🙄
Tips that I've always done, it's called using your common sense which sadly most people don't possess any more.
I did the side view mirror thing on my car and now I see why _"they"_ have so many car accidents 🤦🤦🤦
I always knew it. Every car is built exactly the same. This is why this here works 🤣
Why is there an overdubbed announcer for this video, obviously not the voice of the man in the video?
does it apply to any cars?
Usefully and good luck....🙏
Video should be called “90% of people don’t know- how to T-bone a parked car!”
Thank you for teaching and giving your valuable time ❤
English translation is too fast.. But the tips are best👌👌
Tesla drivers feeling left out😂
RUclips needs to filter out such videos
Makes a lot of sense.
This is helpfull especialy on a parking part
Seems like you hit a real handle on things.
What works for Honda civic won't work for Ford f150
As if every car is the same......
This didn’t work and now my Porsche door is smashed. You need to pay
Respectable man full of life wisdom at still young age 🌞🌞🌞 Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Genius !:)
That might be perfect for your height, but what about someone like Larry Byrd or Kareem Abdul Jabar. This will not work for every driver.
People have different height different seat adjustments and different car heights.. wont work
Gee,I may be stupid but isn't that a function of the MIRROR?
Fantasy video.
Speaking a bit more slowly than in a hurry will be useful. Otherwise we are hearing only bell gongs.
not all cars have door handles like what you just mentioned...what now...
What is music name of this video???
1. You need to speak slower so we can align your words with what’s going on in the video
2. All cars are different so alignments will vary.
I been in a different world this whole time😅
Those dead cars are deadly
Hmm
Are u a manufacturer of cars? How do you get those aspects ? 🤔😀
That's great, for someone with your same model of car that is
Reference points differ from person to person and from car to car.
I would imagine it would be different for different cars.
