You've no idea how this "left knee" thing has helped me! I've used this every time since I saw this video a few days ago, and this absolutely works for me! I passed my test a month ago, but I did not do lessons in the car I'm driving right now. So while I was able to park well in my instructor's car, I could not do the same in my own one. But I have improved a ton by using what you say in this video - thank you! 😅
I don’t whether you’ll see this Richard, but I just want to thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and experience on driving. I’ve been learning to drive since August last year. Every lesson seemed tedious, I felt as if I was going nowhere , I felt so incapable of driving and never pictured myself passing , It was like walking through a tunnel which had no glimmer of light at the end. And then, was there was no inch of hope left, your channel stumbled along my dark path and I am now such a driver that I could never have believed I would ever be, all thanks to you. Thanks so much Richard, I could never tell you how much I appreciate all your help. I know you’ve helped countless souls out there learn to drive🙏🏻 Keep up the great work Richard, and once again, THANK YOU 🙏🏻💙
Something I find really helpful is reminding yourself that you're not making corrections, you are simply adjusting your position for the perfect park. It's not "I've turned too late and now I need to reverse awkwardly", it's "Next step, reposition. All according to plan".
Recently passed my test and still watch these videos! They're so useful and when you're out driving in the real world, you realise its a whole different kettle of fish so having these videos really helps!!
This is amazing, I had my driver's license for 3 years now. Got a new car that's bigger than the one I used to drive and here I am watching your videos. Thank you so much for doing this.
Richard is on my list of channels to watch whenever I have to learn about driving. Passed my test in June and since then I've been learning even more than what I could've imagined and having fun in the meantime and learning a lot. The video really cleared some of my problems with forward bay parking
Richard, I’m consistently really impressed by how well your videos are filmed! It’s so much more helpful having camera angles from a drivers eye perspective as opposed to instruction delivered via a single static camera. I also like how concise & clear your instructions are too. Another well deserved subscription from me! P.s. If you could figure out how to clone yourself & send the clone to come teach in NW England I’d happily be the first customer 😂
@@karmo7369 It genuinely felt like another lesson, but the lingering thought of knowing my instructor wasn't there scared me, but I pulled through. My morning routine before the test was have a few bananas and an energy drink for a burst of energy . I put on motivational songs to pump me up, and told myself I can do this like a thousand times 🤣 which actually worked and didn't feel as nervous as the night before. During the test, TALK TO YOURSELF!!! I was literally talking about everything I could see on the road just explain what they mean out loud so the examiner knew what I was doing so she felt safe with me! Talk to your examiner, I literally brought up the most random thing ever because it was getting awkward, you should engage in a conversation. If you are genuinely stuck ask for directions, the Sat Nav told me to turn left but I couldn't see anything coz of a slight hill, she literally told me to go on the left lane and turn left!!! End of the day just believe in yourself! Have a mindset of (f**k everyone else I'm doing it)
@@nadeemk9265 wow!!! thank you so so much for replying omg this has really helped a lot! I feel so nervous bc of the area i will be driving in, but you are right! will get my energy up before i go! I was thinking about talking to myself, but i got scared that the examiner would think that i dont know what im doing bc im saying everything 😂😂 Thank you so much for all your help! Which manoeuvre did you have?
@@karmo7369 I did a reverse bay park, I did that in the end of the test, I kinda messed it up and got 1 minor for control because I was too excited It was ending 😅 Ohhhh and I told the examiner I'm going to talk to myself so whenever you do yours just tell the examiner 😂 Believe me it's not as bad as people make it out to be, don't let the nerves consume you ☺️
I wish Richard was the driving instructor to some 'seasoned' drivers around here. So, thank you, Richard! Makes me chuckle when I see 'successful people' exit their cars from what I can only describe as a botched fwd bay parking. Their angles are all over the place. What one needs to successfully park forward is all said. The biggest circle, proper timing, a speed that is not too much, and some common sense. A car is not an axe, no need to chuck in it and that's it. And while over here, overseas, you can feel lucky if you get away with two chances to correct a fwd bay parking on an exam, in the real, live world if you are not an obstruction, you can correct your parking until it is perfect. Remember - taking time to park properly yields you some experience, a sense of accomplishment, and a lack of door dings, scrapes, scratches and such.
Totally agree, no excuse to leave your car parked in a way that makes it awkward for others, it only takes a few seconds to pull back and go forwards again.
You are the bessssttt instructor on this planet 😊 I am a slow learner and I have learned a lot from you which helped me so much.. I am almost in my 40s and just starting to learn to drive so I am grateful for how you presented and explain everything. God bless you ❤
Thank you Richard for taking time to create such quality videos. I have been watching your videos for over a year and half now. AND I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST ON 14/01/22 FIRST ATTEMPT. thank you so much
I passed my test a few months ago but today I had to get into a really tight space and completely fked it. Kinda lost my confidence a bit but this video has helped. I'll remember the steer too late rule for tight spaces in the future!
Hey Richard you are the man!! First of all excuse me for my bad english, I am from little country called Macedonia. I started to watch your videos like a month ago, and they are very helpful to me, cause i am beginner and every time I drive with my instructor I am getting better, but that is because of you not him. I wish all of the instructors to be just like you. Keep up with these quality videos, cause through them you are helping to a lot of people. Peace!
your videos have been invaluable for me!!! i've taken forever to get my license because driving with my parents has been so stressful and completely not useful-- egging me on to 'go for it' without actually going through what you expect to see and plan for. THANK YOU! U SEEM LIKE A GENUINELY GOOD DUDE AND YOU'VE HELPED ME SO MUCH
I will attempt this method whilst practising for my upcoming test, way easier than the full lock method because you can make adjustment along the way, better than having the anxiety half way not knowing if you are going to get into the space or not. I had my first test and all four wheels ended up in the bay the first time with a bit of an angle, nothing on the lines, I even opened the door to check because I didn't want to risking getting a fault for readjusting under the impression that as long as you are inside the line, you are fine. I still got a minor for it, with this method, I could just work my way into the bay without the anguish feeling of ending up in the wrong place.
Hiya, I just passed my practical test! And just wanna say thanks for your videos, they’ve helped me a lot. Very simple and straight to the point. Keep it up and God bless😊
I think the hardest part for me is when exiting a parking spot. I end up pulling straight back because I'm worried I'll hit the cars on the side of mine. This video was helpful. Thank you.
I never knew we could correct forward bay parking mid way! The instructor said i can't, but i heard you only get a minor. His car is a bit large and the constant slight change in seating position/ gap in the middle makes it almost impossible to get it in perfectly Oh and im super short to see if im going into the lane or not
Thanks another really good tutorial. Not a new driver, but still find I can pick up some really good tips from your videos. Also helps my car is almost identical (even the colour!).
I passed last month and have been watching all these vids because my car is so different to my instructors and its making me lack confidence and become a nervous driver
All cars are different to drive, I often say the second car you drive is the most challenging because you need to learn to listen to the car and feel how it needs to be driven instead of trying to drive it the same as the car you are used to. The best thing to do is be really slow with everything until you're used to the sensitivity of everything. I still need to do that to this day when I get in an unfamiliar.
great, if you could make some video about judging the right and left front corner of your car it would be amazing,like u gave a tip on 7:42 but more detailed
Share this guy's videos to your friends & family members as they're really that good. I've seen almost all top car driving instructor's videos on RUclips & he is one of the best but with very less subscribers. One needs a good count of them to help him to encourage and post more quality videos as they take precious time & effort. Thanks for regular uploading. I've hugely improved my driving skill just by watching your channel 👍
I love your videos so much your videos are so useful in over driving ☺️ life thanks for that please 🥺 one request please make videos on automatic car driving skills because lots of people need these videos
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us! The content you create is invaluable! I would like to know if it is possible for you to make a video about how should we drive in mountain roads (what to pay attetion to, overtakes and precautions you consider important to drive safe in that kind of roads)
I love your videos and it helped me be more confident as a learner driver here in NZ. Just like to ask if these are also applicable for angled parking spaces?
Really appreciate all the helpful content, sat my test today and passed with 1 minor. Cheers for all the tips and tricks mate and I wish you channel all the success' it deserves.
Skill comes with experience and time but the problem is other inpatient drivers don't give you the time and space to learn. They add pressure and abuse at you.
@@ConquerDriving I'm experiencing the opposite. Most drivers behind me are inpatient boomers just throwing rage at me for the most minor things like sticking to the speed limit.
Passed my test first time round a few weeks ago! 🙌 Definitely feel like the real learning starts now tho and your videos have helped a lot 💯 what do you think is the best way to learn driving on motorways as I didnt cover this during my lessons?
Congratulations on passing, I have a video on entering Motorways, basically the same but a bit easier than a 70mph dual carriageway. I recommend some motorway tuition with an instructor, don't waste your time with pass plus. Just another way to regulate something that doesn't need regulation and it restricts your time as the instructor will need to cover things you may find very obvious. ruclips.net/video/pfJi9EA05_Y/видео.html
Hello On my way to become a driving instructor and I m looking to take as much information as I can and I want to ask if you give regular demonstration to your pupils. Thanks 😊
It depends on the pupil, it helps some more than others but it it works then yes I do, probably should do more but I can be a bit lazy with getting out the car sometimes especially when it's raining 😂
The key to reference points is the size of the car. It changes depending on size... also, people move their heads forward or back while parking, without realizing ....which messes up their perspective.
@@HamzaHussain-xk8voyou need to be next to the vehicle (vehicle on your left) you're parking behind and reverse back so that their back end is half way through your rear passenger window. Then then one full turn left.
Thank you so much for these practical maneuvering videos. Could you please do one which can help with judgement of the car when parking into a home garage. I find it very difficult to judge when to start steering and how much gap is left between the sides of the car and the garage door when parking. Also another video if possible on clutch and speed control in very narrow streets and turns with no visibility. Thanks and ❤️ from India 🙏😊
After passing my test in the real world I have been massively humbled by tight parking spaces with a wider (and very long bonnet) car. Yesterday I did exactly that "too early" front right manoeuvre and hugely embarrassed myself. You are right every correction I tried to do just made things worse. Staff saw me on CCTV to come and help me park 🤦♂🤦♂. In your opinion is it safer to do the 45 degree reverse method to position into tight spaces (I have very little space between the opposite bays as well as it is a multi-storey like layout)?
Question, if I'm forward bay parking into a space on the left and I have to move across into the right lane to create the space for my turning circle, should I indicate right first to move across into the right lane, then indicate left to swing into the bay on the left. Or should I just indicate left and then move across the right lane before parking on the left? Many thanks for your videos, they are really helpful.
When it comes to indicating, do it when you think it's helpful but don't do it if you think it's misleading. Judge each situation individually. Here is a video: ruclips.net/video/n9u_hqfpj9k/видео.html
Another great video Richard. I like how you picked a busy time in the car park for a more realistic scenario. I’m hoping for exiting a tight parallel parking space soon 😂🙏🏻 it’s steering out of the space in full lock that troubles me. I find it difficult to judge wether I’ll clear the car in front whilst turning. Maybe I’m unique in that case 😂 Can’t see any other videos on this so that would be a particular helpful one 😁
Everyone finds that difficult, it's hard to teach this judgement as it's different in every car and generally just takes experience. Only get as close as you feel comfortable with and get out to check if you're not sure. This video may help: ruclips.net/video/NhdQp-Hmds4/видео.html
Hi, Can you please make it a bit more clear that when we do bay parking how much I should turn the steering and how Much I turn the steering back to straight the car wheel.?? Please make a video as soon as possible coz I'm booking my test thanks 😊
How much you steer varies on how much you want the car to steer. In this video to keep things simple I was steering all of the way. All cars are different, but most cars are around 1 to 1.5 turns to go from straight to fully steered which is also known as full lock.
I am trying my best to do bay parking both reverse and forward and I am unable to do it. Most of the times I am on the line. Unable to judge when to turn or what could be my reference point
So on my driving test when they tell me to do a forward bay park, should I stop, observe all blind spots etc, and then drive it in or do you only need to check centre and side mirror and not stop and just drive it in?
You need to observe where you think is relevant to stay safe for your situation. Normally this in front and behind to the side you're steering to see if someone is trying to pass you in the direction you're turning.
Hi, just wondering what the tricks are to forward parking on the left. As I understand on the test reversing can be either left or right but forward is always on the right, but obviously once I pass supermarket car parks have bays on both sides and I may want to drive in to leave easy access to the boot, rather than reverse in.
On test you can go forwards into a parking space on both the left and the right. Starting as far away from the bay before steering, steering late is better than steering early and accepting you may need to come back and go forward again is my simplest best advice.
@@ConquerDriving - Thanks, I will spend some of my time practicing with my Mum forward parking for both sides. My instructor says that they never ask for forward left, I don't know if this is because all his other pupils haven't been asked for forward left or if they have they didn't tell him.
There's something about this guy he seems so nice
He does, Agreed. Definitely going to keep an eye on his channel to help me get my license
I learnt from his videos how to drive. Took me 3daes to master it. He's a master this one
Just a British thing.
Hes a natural at explaining things
No homo

The key to reference points is the size of the car. It changes depending on size... also, people move their heads forward or back while parking, without realizing ....which messes up their perspective.
@@nthdegree1269 yeah, I'm learning in an a4, I use my shoulder slighly passed the middle of bay before then just adjust it
@@nthdegree1269 what would you says a good reference for reverse parallel park?
@@HamzaHussain-xk8voyou need to be next to the vehicle (vehicle on your left) you're parking behind and reverse back so that their back end is half way through your rear passenger window. Then then one full turn left.
Thank you so much for these practical maneuvering videos. Could you please do one which can help with judgement of the car when parking into a home garage. I find it very difficult to judge when to start steering and how much gap is left between the sides of the car and the garage door when parking.
Also another video if possible on clutch and speed control in very narrow streets and turns with no visibility.
Thanks and ❤️ from India 🙏😊
I have a video on reversing into a bay which is the same principle and I also have a video on keeping a manual car slow using the clutch.
@@ConquerDriving I've seen the clutch control video. Will check the bay reversing one as well. Thanks again 🙂
i don't know, but for me it's easier to reverse park.
It is for most people, driving forwards into a parking space is awkward.
In some instances, you may not be allowed to reverse park at places such as banks for security reasons so it's a good idea to be comfortable at both.
After passing my test in the real world I have been massively humbled by tight parking spaces with a wider (and very long bonnet) car. Yesterday I did exactly that "too early" front right manoeuvre and hugely embarrassed myself. You are right every correction I tried to do just made things worse. Staff saw me on CCTV to come and help me park 🤦♂🤦♂. In your opinion is it safer to do the 45 degree reverse method to position into tight spaces (I have very little space between the opposite bays as well as it is a multi-storey like layout)?
This looks nice
Please post a video about Colchester's magic round about and semi magic round abouts

can you make a video about quick downshifts for acceleration like overtaking

Thanks so much. This was soo helpful. Do you have any videos on dual carriage way?
I have this one: ruclips.net/video/pfJi9EA05_Y/видео.html
are you allowed to adjust your mirrors for parking and would it be considered a minor?
How is the left knee going to work if we drive on the right direction like other European countries?
Your vids are very helpful , I have my test on Monday , are we allowed to drive over mini roundabouts or round them ?
Go round just to be safe
You should drive around them if possible. This video should help: ruclips.net/video/hvARKEv6jQE/видео.html
Question, if I'm forward bay parking into a space on the left and I have to move across into the right lane to create the space for my turning circle, should I indicate right first to move across into the right lane, then indicate left to swing into the bay on the left. Or should I just indicate left and then move across the right lane before parking on the left?
Many thanks for your videos, they are really helpful.
When it comes to indicating, do it when you think it's helpful but don't do it if you think it's misleading. Judge each situation individually. Here is a video: ruclips.net/video/n9u_hqfpj9k/видео.html
Another great video Richard. I like how you picked a busy time in the car park for a more realistic scenario. I’m hoping for exiting a tight parallel parking space soon 😂🙏🏻 it’s steering out of the space in full lock that troubles me. I find it difficult to judge wether I’ll clear the car in front whilst turning. Maybe I’m unique in that case 😂 Can’t see any other videos on this so that would be a particular helpful one 😁
Everyone finds that difficult, it's hard to teach this judgement as it's different in every car and generally just takes experience. Only get as close as you feel comfortable with and get out to check if you're not sure. This video may help: ruclips.net/video/NhdQp-Hmds4/видео.html
@@ConquerDriving thank you mate, appreciated 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hi, i am confusing about steering that when I start steering straight at forward bay parking.
Hi,
Can you please make it a bit more clear that when we do bay parking how much I should turn the steering and how Much I turn the steering back to straight the car wheel.??
Please make a video as soon as possible coz I'm booking my test thanks 😊
How much you steer varies on how much you want the car to steer. In this video to keep things simple I was steering all of the way. All cars are different, but most cars are around 1 to 1.5 turns to go from straight to fully steered which is also known as full lock.
That car park was very busy that day
Great one!
I am trying my best to do bay parking both reverse and forward and I am unable to do it. Most of the times I am on the line. Unable to judge when to turn or what could be my reference point

The guy in the white car should have watched your video on how to park
So on my driving test when they tell me to do a forward bay park,
should I stop, observe all blind spots etc, and then drive it in
or do you only need to check centre and side mirror and not stop and just drive it in?
You need to observe where you think is relevant to stay safe for your situation. Normally this in front and behind to the side you're steering to see if someone is trying to pass you in the direction you're turning.
Good luck George!
Hi, just wondering what the tricks are to forward parking on the left.
As I understand on the test reversing can be either left or right but forward is always on the right, but obviously once I pass supermarket car parks have bays on both sides and I may want to drive in to leave easy access to the boot, rather than reverse in.
On test you can go forwards into a parking space on both the left and the right. Starting as far away from the bay before steering, steering late is better than steering early and accepting you may need to come back and go forward again is my simplest best advice.
@@ConquerDriving - Thanks, I will spend some of my time practicing with my Mum forward parking for both sides.
My instructor says that they never ask for forward left, I don't know if this is because all his other pupils haven't been asked for forward left or if they have they didn't tell him.
how about making a video about parking on a narrow road(not tight space) where you cant angle on enough??
You haven't got much choice but to mount the kerb in those situations.
@@ConquerDriving what if the is no Kerb but parked cars on both sides? I thought turning the wheel only once and not full lock to the right
Thanks
will u fail your test for not signalling when u bay park. my instructor tells me i dont have to even when parallel parking
Thanks alot
If your wondering ! I’m from Middle East and passed ! Just Watch all the videos
That's fantastic to hear! Congratulations on passing!
Can you make video for left side judgement?
