Cheap alternative to parking sensors: get your mate to sit in the boot and shout beeping noises faster and faster until you reach the wall/other car.

One tip for the front, just turn on the low or high beams and it will greatly help you navigating by looking at the reflections on the front object.

My method: get a big cardboard box, like that of a big flat tv. Put it on the ground standing high. (It should be empty) Then start to get close with the car very slowly. The goal is to actually hit the box, and since it's cardboard, you can do that as many times as you want. When you actually knock it over and do it a few times you will start to judge the dimensions of your car much more easily. You will instinctively be able to judge much better what is the maximum limit by a certain parking manoeuvre you can push it to.

I have a lot of anxiety as a new driver as I haven't developed much confidence driving. Watching your videos have helped me immensely! It's allowed me to understand a lot more! Thank you so much!!!

Some people charge to get these kind of tips. Thank you for doing it for free.

The "don't be embarrassed" advice is so true. So many people make you feel bad if you get out to check if you're close to something. When I really just want to be sure of how much space I have.

True story. Ten or so years ago, when I was still a bit inexperienced, I backed my year-old hatchback into a landscaping wall. Very similar to the low brick wall in this video. The cost of the bumper repair was nearly US$700. Wish this video existed ten years ago!

Dear Richard,
I am currently a learning driver in Russia, and I can't express well enough how useful your videos are (despite the UK driving on the left, and quite a bit of differences between British and Russian traffic regulations). The way you present the content is very clear, thoughtful, and entertaining. 
I have to admit that driving schools in Russia provide only very limited knowledge barely enough to pass the (not very hard) driving test, which apparently is not really enough to be able to drive decently. Your channel provides lots of useful insights, and it is definitely one of the best sources of information on how to drive. I have recommended a number of my English-speaking friends who are also struggling with their driving lessons to sign up for your content as well.
Thanks a lot, and keep up the great work!

I want to thank you so much for these videos. I am an adult driver that has always been terrified of learning to drive, but trying to get my license this year. Your videos don't only pinpoint exactly how to solve my fears ("how do I judge anything in this big machine??"), but you do it so kindly and clearly. You have no idea how much this means to me, thank you!

The tips are safe enough when an insurance company think they are - in order to pay for an ad lol. Great job, thanks for the vid! Gonna watch about the sides gap now.

[tsaianne]

I just want to say that I love your videos. They have helped me immensely with my anxiety on the roadways and my thought process while driving to better be able to average the vehicle and maneuver it well. Keep up the great work

You and the Conduit Facile guy are the best driving teachers on the internet. I’m so grateful for you guys.

[sumeshk]

a smart and great driving instructor...
His videos are real gold for a new driver...
Highly impressed with his presentation skills and his professionalism

[LearnersNation]

I literally learnt driving from you man. My wife is surprised how I started driving without learning much 😂, I was driving bikes from 6 years. 360 degree cams reduces lots of stress in some car. but prefer to use conventional method for parking in tight spaces. Thanks for teaching so many skills. I am able to enjoy car drives

[donSparda]

I got my drivers license last march, hugely thanks to your efforts, and i`m still watching, never too good to keep learning!

[radharcanna]

An excellent lesson. I’m not a new driver but I learn something new from each of your videos. Thank you.

[smawtan]

Fantastic video. I’ve just got my first car after getting my license 10 years ago, and so my skills are rather rusty! These types of tips are invaluable. Thanks :)

[joakimmwamba]

Thanks for your videos. Passed my test two weeks ago, license will be out in another week. I now watch your videos to know the small things that I wasn't taught by my instructor.
Keep it up!
