    Learning how to drive a car starts in a parking lot. When learning how to drive a car--regardless of whether it's an automatic or manual transmission--begins in a parking lot or other closed-circuit area with minimal traffic.
    When learning how to drive a a student must start with the basics. And those basics are learning to control the primary controls--accelerator, brake, steering, and clutch--of the vehicle. If a student becomes proficient in the basic controls of the vehicle when learning how to drive a car, this will improve his or her overall driving. And consequently, she/he will learn more quickly to drive a car well.
    Although 7/8 of the road test is in a forward motion, it is the slow-speed manoeuvres that make up 1/8 of the road test that new drivers find the most challenging.
    Any activity has basic skills that a novice must practice and understand, and for driving it is slow-speed manoeuvres. These manoeuvres can be broken down into three categories:
    1) Controlling the Primary Controls
    2) Speed & Space Management
    3) Specific Skills for a Road Test
    The first part of learning slow-speed manoeuvres teaches the new driver about the primary controls of the vehicle:
    • steering wheel
    • brake
    • throttle
    • clutch
    The second aspect of slow-speed manoeuvres teaches the new driver about speed and space management. These exercises with pylons and a 2X4 also teach how to control the vehicle in space and in relation to other objects. Finally, the exercises for speed and space management teaches the new driver how to work the primary controls together: How to steer and accelerate; how to steer and brake; how to work the clutch and throttle, etc.
    And the third component of the slow-speed manoeuvres teaches the new driver the specific manoeuvres required for a road test:
    Time spent in a parking lot or other closed circuit area will improve a new drivers overall driving abilities and skills. Time and practice must be dedicated to these fundamentals of driving to properly prepare for the challenges of both a road test and the rigours of driving.

    Let me tell you an interesting story.
    I got my license at 18 in the South, moved up North for school and drove seldomly over the next ten years (big city living). Anyways, I got 5 36in pylons, found a quiet parking lot nearby a large park and did many of the suggested maneuvers.
    I started out trying to drive as close as possible to the cones forwards and backwards without hitting them. Then I progressed to turns and soon after I did parallel parking.
    Around this time a husband and wife walked up to me, thinking I was the driving instructor and said "oh, I'm teaching my daughter how to drive. I'm actually coming back in 45 minutes." He did return with his daughter and they started practicing parallel parking with paint buckets. I'm not a greedy guy so I said jump in and use the pylons; we can rotate like we're at the gym using dumbbells.
    What's the worst that can happen? You hit the pylon it falls over and you take a second to go over what went well and why things went sideways.
    My technique immediately improved. No joke, I went from not being able to judge how far cars were on my passenger's side to driving down narrow two-way streets and reversing into the narrowest parking space I have ever seen in my parking garage. The pictures I took were hilarious. Seriously, so narrow that I had to limbo and side-step my way out of the vehicle even though I was dead-center between the yellow lines. The parking space was 100 inches wide including the yellow lines. 91 inches between them. Yeah. Mirrors! Mirrors! Mirrors!
    It turns out the gentleman I met has owned a chauffeur company for over a quarter century. Before we parted ways the last drill we did was zig-zag in between the pylons forwards and backwards. We pushed it like those police EVOC training videos--well maybe not THAT fast but we were definitely not idling through the zig-zag by any means. I would have uploaded my own video were my phone camera not so crappy.
    I say all this to say that practicing with cones single-handedly made me a better driver in a really short time ( a week). Then I attended a driver's ed course where I learned how to drive stick shift. And again, Smart Drive Test literally came through in the clutch and taught me what to expect. Same thing with winter driving. I grew up in the South. I literally drove on snow for the first time in my life last week.
    This is absolutely phenomenal. I learned how to drive from freaking RUclips. Are you kidding me??? Anyways, mirror signal shoulder check and good luck to everybody else learning how to drive.

      @@smartdrivetest I grew up in Florida. No snow down there, haha.
      Interestingly enough, parallel parking was not on my driving exam when I took it circa 2007. Now that I live in Chicago and am getting ready to purchase a car (thinking standard transmission), I definitely couldn't shrug off parallel parking. Practicing with cones seemed like the safest most logical way to learn.
      Strangely I never saw that suggestion anywhere else. Either way, glad I came across your channel, the material's top-notch and what it did for me it can certainly do for the lot of us.
      Appreciate all the time you've invested.

Even though I've had it for that long, up until 2 weeks ago I hadn't driven in 2 years and before that maybe 5. Praise the Lord and to Mr. August for all the important information and advice on his channel.

    When I saw the title I was thinking about my comment the other day, then you said my name (which you shockingly pronounced perfectly) and I was all OMG no way!! Thanks for the detailed answer to my previous question, this does clarify a lot...and I hope not just for me but also many other subscribers. I wish I had these ideas before because I actually practiced my parking and slow speed maneuvers in a full parking lot and ended up hitting it with another (just the corner a little bit). But I think I learned alot from that too.
    Tip from my experience so far:
    1) Always, always keep checking your mirrors (sides and rear view) especially while youre maneuvering in reverse and have other cars in the parking lot.
    2) The key is to start practicing these maneuvers in EXTRA slow speed. SLOW is the key. (Don't follow Ricks expert speed, lol).
    3) Some "formulas" are very helpful in learning tricky parking when you just can't get it. I had to learn those for parallel parking and reverse parking and now I can park anywhere perfectly in the first attempt.
    Could think of these so far!
    Hope these help too. :)

    • @smartdrivetest
      @smartdrivetest  3 года назад

      Hi boomerings - Thank you for your query my friend.
      This video on space management is the one I'd recommend: ruclips.net/video/ftcMa4OgEk8/видео.html
      When you're in line and the traffic light goes green, you can't got until the vehicle in front starts moving. I've had many students I've had to explain this very situation to. They want to go as soon as the light turns green, but you can't go until the vehicle in front goes. And for new drivers, you want them slowing 1 block from the intersection. Perhaps not braking, but at least off the throttle.
      I'll get the video to you tomorrow.
      All the best, Cheers Rick

I guess now I am 24 and just want to get it no hassle. you know what, I am gonna be positive, I will pass and if for some reason I do not I will brush it off as a learning experience and try again:) even though its not cheap o.o.

    Hi
    I badly need ur help as i failed my G test twice.
    I passed my G2 with very good report not a single cross.
    I have a good driving record.
    First time I failed bcz i gave test on driving schools car which i drove only twice for 45 mins each before test .
    Second time i practiced so well on my own car on highway series 400 for 2 months,watched ur each lesson twice and i was confident to be pass this time.
    But
    Unfortunately just 2 days before my test, my van not that (car on which i was giving test)had a minor collision at school parking.which disturbed me a lot and i went into anxiety attacks like shortbreathlessness and hot and cold chills with nausea.
    Luckily insurance call me and told i was not at fault and they are closing my file with no accident history on my record and any increase in premium.
    But that all affected me a lot and feel unable to drive again.i practice again between the 2 days and went for test but i did so many mistakes like hard braking ,slow speed on turns,sharp lane change once and not following constant speed .means 92 to 96 on highway.
    I need ur help as i lost all my driving confidence.
    So much scared from driving.

The examiner told me I got an Auto Fail because when backing, my car partially entered the opposite lane (I vaguely remember maybe 1/4-1/2 of my car width). So I realized one of my weak points is the REVERSING maneuvers, thus I have to practice many many backing (of different types - straight lines, circles, zigzags). Then next time test, suppose the straight backing should never be an issue any longer...

    • @smartdrivetest
      @smartdrivetest  7 лет назад +2

      Hi Cedric - you're missing the point. The point is that you have to do slow-speed manoeuvres; these are the basics of driving. It is like music; if you don't practice scales, you can't learn chord progressions or other fancy techniques. If you spend time in the parking lot doing the slow-speed manoeuvres, the steering and speed technique will be learned as doing the slow-speed manoeuvres. Any person can point the vehicle down the road and hold the steering wheel, but it takes competence to do slow speed manoeuvres and reverse for a distance. You must practice the basics to pass your road test. All the best, Cheers Rick
