How do you parallel park? Watch our PennDOT Parallel Parking Training Video and learn how. Visit www.PennDOT.gov for more information. #ParallelParking #PennDOT
Here's another good tip. As your car is turning, look in the driver's side mirror. When you can see BOTH headlights on the vehicle behind you (or all 3 barrels), immediately straighten the wheels. You'll get the proper angle almost every time.
Do you have to watch the front cones during the test? I always use my right mirror; once I see all 3 cones I straighten it out. It's way easier for me at least.
This comment might get me my license the only thing I was having trouble with was parallel parking. I was very inconsistent and after I read this comment I gave it a try, I messed up the first one and got every single one after that. Thank you for the awesome tip.
They could do a better job explaining this and using animations so the viewers could understand what they’re supposed to see from the drivers side. And yes I’ve watched this 100 times and still don’t understand parallel parking
@@blairbrownie1223 I looked it up..you still need to parallel park in order to pass the test. Send me the link that says otherwise please, I take my test in two days.
Rayven B it went well! Passed it with a pretty good score. I recommend practicing parallel parking the most, and try to see the area they use so you could try and practice to fit into a spot like it
One important thing you forgot: As you back up, you look behind you by turning your head both ways in addition to the mirror, otherwise they can fail you
Nearly everyone I know that has a drivers license can't parallel park and avoids it at all cost. I've been asked to park people's car for them cuz they couldn't.
Good video, EXCEPT, you made no mention of checking the blind spot before leaving the parking space. Drivers should always check the blind spot before leaving a parallel parking space.
So, what do you do if the car behind you doesn't leave you the room to back into the space? Perhaps we need a trainer of how to signal and read signals.
it is better not to use the back up camera, if your car has one. the main point of the parallel parking portion of the test is to evaluate your knowledge of your vehicle and the space it takes up. but you can most certainly use it on the road for extra help.
Still didn't help. Failed my test because of this bullshit for the 16th time today. I do everything right during the test but fuck up when parallel parking.
Don't ever test at Pleasant Gap Pa. They are rude and omg do not be close to lines, even though you are inside the box, you FAIL! Must have been break time and it was cold outside.
Update I passed my test on Saturday super easy know how to parallel park and whats in your car and use your Turn signals and yu will pass So glad i went !!
victoria freeman no I’m not going to that one! m going to the one at airport rd in Whitehall pa! First time I didn’t pass because of the parallel parking I didn’t practice enough but this time hopefully I’ll pass 😪😪
Aint never gonna fuck with the DMV anymore cuz i just had my fully scannable drivers license in 2 days from 7192859179. I bet its better than i thought tho

@@clayton_maiden You shouldn't need to watch the front cones if you positioned correctly
@@Geno2733 thank you, passed my text last Saturday using your technique!
Absolutely that’s what I did

record this in the hood when there is minimal space and 4 people honking aggressively behind you
I really hop this helps me. I'm taking mine tomorrow. Wish me luck!
@Keegan Koncsol I totally got it

Taking mine tmrrr wish me luckkkk!!

My test is tomorrow at 3
I'm taking my test tomorrow! 👍
Possible way corner by side mirrors video
I got my test in an hour and a half.😩
J u got this good luk
Video inaccurate. They Do Not Give that much space!
Paralell parking estacionar o carro no brasil
Why did I think it was at the end
i didn’t really understand…
They dont give u that much space stop it!
This is definitely a poor way to explain how to park . This isn’t helpful what so ever and shows how stupid this is .
12 states have removed this idiocy from their driver’s test requirements. Pennsylvania never fails to disappoint
Wait really???
thatgirlinthepurplejacket yes, for sure. Look it up.
It’s not necessarily idiocy. I heard from a driving teacher “if you can maneuver and drive in tight spaces then you can manage to drive anywhere,”
@@blairbrownie1223 I looked it up..you still need to parallel park in order to pass the test. Send me the link that says otherwise please, I take my test in two days.
@@josephballard3641 yes, in 38 states you DO need to parallel park-in 12, you don’t . Go to the course and practice, practice, practice-right on site
TAKING MY TEST TOMORROW WISH ME LUCK, AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL ABOUT TO TAKE THEIR TESTS ALSO...
Nicole Thomas-williams i take mines today wish me luck
Nicole Thomas-williams how was it
Just Relax! He failed
This got me to pass especially the drivers front door I passed with flying colors the second time 🤟🏾
Test is tomorrow! Never been this nervous.
How did you do?
Rayven B it went well! Passed it with a pretty good score. I recommend practicing parallel parking the most, and try to see the area they use so you could try and practice to fit into a spot like it
I may be a little late but good luck 🍀
I take mine tomorrow
@@cedyruffin5607 did you pass?
The cones at my local DMV are so much closer together than the ones in the video
Exactly. I was furious when I saw the space.

You guys need to remove this idiocy from the test like other states.

Test this Saturday I'm so nervous I'll keep watching this video to be sure
Me too. Gl to both of us tmr lmao
It's simple if you know your left from your right. And have your judgement together. Good Luck🛣 🚗💳
very helpful...i take mines tomorrow
My test is tomorrow wish me luck :D
I have my test tomorrow, I am so nervous
Washington PA test center may be the best place to take road test
Walking Haha I’m taking mine there in 5 hours 😬😬
Can you use rear view cameras?
it is better not to use the back up camera, if your car has one. the main point of the parallel parking portion of the test is to evaluate your knowledge of your vehicle and the space it takes up. but you can most certainly use it on the road for extra help.
yeah u can
Still didn't help. Failed my test because of this bullshit for the 16th time today. I do everything right during the test but fuck up when parallel parking.
Just passed! I feel like a new man
Where did yu go was the driving test hard
Taking my test tomorrow!
This is by far the best video I have seen to understand the parallel parcking. Thank you so much!
I hate that parking is first at my location literally what made me fail had i got to be on the road first i would’ve been fine
Failed my test the car was bigger than the fucking space. I didn't even use a big car either. Complete bullshit.
whewww i need to ace
Test Monday, I want to pass with flying colors !
Take My Test Saturday, Wish Me Luck,
Best of luck!
What did they make you do ?
Wanted to say...
Taking my permit test today.
Forgot to study.
Hehe. Im fucked.
Now try to parallel park when there is 12-inch clearance on both sides - front and back. That is more realistic parking.
do u have to use ur signals when parallel parking?
Yea definitely, my friend got failed for not using them.
Don't ever test at Pleasant Gap Pa. They are rude and omg do not be close to lines, even though you are inside the box, you FAIL! Must have been break time and it was cold outside.
2:14 MAKE SURE YOU REVERSE AND GIVE YOURSELF SPACE BEFORE PULLING OUT
Step by step, *music hits*
i failed, remember parallel parking isnt what you need to worry about 😭
I'm taking my test today,please elaborate on that asap!
My test tmr 💀 i think its just parallel parking cuz of covid
