Learned so much from this channel! I always try to look for it when needing a refresher or advice on how to go about driving. Like things like the gap between you and the car in front of your car, dealing with left turns at a light and people cutting into your lane & now how to reverse park into spaces
Hi XeЯo - And you are most welcome. We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hello Dr. Rick. I’ve completed your course (needless to say, it’s been super helpful in improving my driving). I am still having trouble with 90 degree stall parking though, despite watching the video several times. And it’s really stressing me out. Somehow I always manage to do it when I’m with the instructor and not when I’m on my own. Test in two weeks. Can you please help!!
For the second car park with angle which you did, one handy tip is to bring the car to an angle up till you can see the car front hood (standing in the slot right next to the one you want to park) in the rearview mirror on the driver's side. then reverse while keep looking at both rearview mirrors on left and right doors to secure safe parking.
@5:03 Question. how much space should you have between you and the cars on your left? Also how much space should you have for perpendicular parking as well? I drive a 2004 silverado🛻
With that pickup truck, you're going to need more space. I would say you're going to need at least 12" inches between the mirrors for your minimum safe distance. See this video for the parking I think you're asking me: ruclips.net/video/DhSmXu88JRc/видео.html Drop us a note if you have further questions, or I didn't refer you to the correct video. Cheers Rick

So unfortunate I still failed I drove very well because of how comfortable I am. But I was to comfortable I went 66 changing in a 50 zone lane and I also went about 40 a few seconds early in a school/park zone. I'm also apparently not doing a full shoulder check after parking on the side and driving off. He mentioned to 360 scan when reverse parking as well
I’ve always done the 45 degree one by default. I don’t think I ever watched a video on it I just assumed that was the way to do it. It’s the quickest and easiest plus the people who are behind you don’t scoot up usually thinking you’re driving straight like they do with the other method.
Well explained Rick and this is useful Maryland since 2013-3014 and post February 2020 road test Nevada because they're going to require to park into these spaces. Also in Drive left countries United Kingdom and Australia since they test you for this routinely. For states that do parallel parking like New Jersey Pennsylvania and New York you don't get tested for this even though it's a required driving skill in everyday driving
Hi EpicThe112 - Thank you my friend. Yes, a required manoeuvre; however, it's always up to the discretion of the examiner. If s/he is in a grumpy mood, you could be required to do PP and the reverse stall park. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hello Rick I did not pass my driver's test today in Edmonton Alberta because my dad is always seriously getting on my nerves every time he taught me how to drive and the main reason I failed was because of obstructive driving. I took to long turning left at an intersection because I wasn't able to see oncoming traffic in my driving situation, just wanted to let you know all the other driving techniques helped me out allot and I was even a bit stressed out which caused me to speed up a bit but the examination did not notice, so keep up the good videos!

Hi Rick, Thanks for your patience, time and effort in making these videos with the multidimensional camera views. Great concept and great assistance! Qns: 1) Is being on the left lane a conscious and significant choice for initiating both types of parking towards the left stall? 2) And, is it right to say, for the Perp-P, you start backing from 1.5 stalls past the desired stall whereas in the angled-, you start exactly in front of the desired stall to your left, then angle-right forward and then full left turn (1.5 steering turns) back? I tried the approaches from the driver's (right) lane while the parking lines/stalls were not aligned between one side and the opposite side, so ended up never right and ridiculed by partner for my geometry notes than developing the senses myself :( However, I really find your sketches useful! - Sowmya

Hi Trud's Brown - little doubt my friend. As I said in the video, you're dealing with the vehicle's two biggest blind areas, while travelling in reverse. All the best, Cheers Rick
here in Ontario Canada, we don't get the backing up test, only parallel parking.. id rather do this then parallel its easier lol.. not allowed to use backup camera
That's not entirely true my friend. You have to back into the parking space there at the MTO. And yes, you can glance at a backup camera, but you can't use it as your primary line of sight. See this vid: ruclips.net/video/BEJED-3Swzw/видео.html All the best, Cheers Rick

Hi pooja sharma - a couple of pointers: back from the driver's side. You know that the car is going to fit in the space, therefore, stay 12-18" inches from the driver's side. By doing that, you don't have to worry too much about the other side. And when the front of car is in line with the front cones, stop. All the best, Cheers Rick
Hi Mariah Stone - You're going to do awesome. Remember to breath; that will cause your body to relax. Good luck on your road test! Be sure to let us know how it goes.

@@smartdrivetest thanks, I wasn't too sure because of the size difference. I want to practice reverse because I heard it's easier than pulling in with a truck. Also, I need to practice it so I'm not too rusty at it when I go for my G level license.
Hi DIan Dixon - The online driving course should take you about 6-8 course to complete. However, it's designed to work with your practice in preparing for your driver's test. You can simply look at at a lesson and then go and practice what you learned.

Hi mandeep Kalsi - We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Unfortunately, most drivers can't reverse well. So instead of backing into a tight parking space, they back out into the lot where there is more space and more margin for error. All the best, Cheers Rick
The only problem is in the testing areas they have no parking lines to use as a reference. They only have the lines of the one parking spots and the cones.That's how it is in Maryland ., at least.

I like this video, because these kind of parkings are very challenging for me
I did parallel parking during the road test so I didn’t do reverse parking at the end lolllll
Hi Trud's Brown - little doubt my friend. As I said in the video, you're dealing with the vehicle's two biggest blind areas, while travelling in reverse. All the best, Cheers Rick
Where did you take your driver's license my friend? Cheers Rick
hello, thank you for your videos, my car has no camera, can I adjust my mirror while parking back up on the road test?
here in Ontario Canada, we don't get the backing up test, only parallel parking.. id rather do this then parallel its easier lol.. not allowed to use backup camera
That's not entirely true my friend. You have to back into the parking space there at the MTO. And yes, you can glance at a backup camera, but you can't use it as your primary line of sight. See this vid: ruclips.net/video/BEJED-3Swzw/видео.html All the best, Cheers Rick
Thank you for this video! Now I understand it better. 🙏🙌

I do that..it work sometimes but I want only with cones. ..My road test areas used cones..in open space..no lines.(no lanes)
Hi pooja sharma - a couple of pointers: back from the driver's side. You know that the car is going to fit in the space, therefore, stay 12-18" inches from the driver's side. By doing that, you don't have to worry too much about the other side. And when the front of car is in line with the front cones, stop. All the best, Cheers Rick
My test is tomorrow. wish me luck!!!
update: I PASSED!!!
Hi Mariah Stone - You're going to do awesome. Remember to breath; that will cause your body to relax. Good luck on your road test! Be sure to let us know how it goes. All the best, Cheers Rick

okay so I am doing my road test tomorrow (Nov 1) and I got a question, is it permissible to do the angle back up? or are you supposed to tun from the 90 degrees?

@@smartdrivetest thanks, I wasn't too sure because of the size difference. I want to practice reverse because I heard it's easier than pulling in with a truck. Also, I need to practice it so I'm not too rusty at it when I go for my G level license.
Thanks Rick.

Hey Rick, how much hours is your drivers course?
Hi DIan Dixon - The online driving course should take you about 6-8 course to complete. However, it's designed to work with your practice in preparing for your driver's test. You can simply look at at a lesson and then go and practice what you learned. You can see more detail here: www.smartdrivetest.com/new-drivers/smarter-driver-package#Lessons If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest Thanks Rick, appreciated
You are Amazing 💓👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi mandeep Kalsi - We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
this method doesn't seem to work with a long bed crew cab pickup truck.
but why do people keep constantly Reversing parking forward ?
Unfortunately, most drivers can't reverse well. So instead of backing into a tight parking space, they back out into the lot where there is more space and more margin for error. All the best, Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest what if people Reverse park forward on a two way street in my Neighborhood
Beautiful 🥰
Hi Soraya Ahmadi - We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hi fazy mousa - you are most welcome my friend. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick
The only problem is in the testing areas they have no parking lines to use as a reference. They only have the lines of the one parking spots and the cones.That's how it is in Maryland ., at least.
When is the next time you go live?
Sunday at 6pm PST my friend. Cheers Rick
This makes no want to pull my hair out. I can park perfectly all other ways but I do not understand RVSP at all. 😡
My test is in a week. I’m nervous as fuck man I do not need to fail this
Where in the world are you taking your test? Cheers Rick
@@smartdrivetest massachusettes
Not me watching to pass the backing part of usps driver test those vans are hard than my car 😑
Parking spots are too narrow, they need to widen them.. my 1 car is 6.3 feet wide.. lol
I would rather parallel park than this.
