Was really struggling with this manoeuvre but then I watch this video and saw exactly what I needed to do . So I bought a McLaren Senna with see-through doors and now it's very easy thank you for the tip 🙏🙌🙌

Always struggled with reverse bay park and last night spent 40 minutes which just ended in stress and tears. Watched your video a few times last night and today and went out earlier and did it 4 times successfully in a row left and right and in a hill. Thank you!!!

You deserve more recognition. One of the best driving explanations available on the the internet.

I passed my test today, first time!. 32 years old and a long time coming. 0 faults. You have a lot to do with that, thank you.

Finally, I found a place where I can learn properly and get away from a yelling hubby sitting next.

My teacher told me I shouldn't go online and get any driving tips, because he's the teacher and I should listen to him. He thinks I'm cheating on him with you.


I subscribed 😘

I was taught with tape on the door and passed my test Monday but honestly feel like I was taught how to pass the test rather than how to drive. Now I'm going to work on the method you have shown, thank you for the videos they have been amazingly helpful.

Did my first parking a few days ago with my instructor and all he did was just blabbering and impatiently giving me instructions to park without teaching me slowly at all :( Really thankful for your insightful video... really appreciate it!

0:41 That was very funny, I wasn't expecting for you to go that far with the explanation.

I had completed all my driving lessons. And I have always ask my instructor, "what am I looking at from the mirror?" "At what angel or how do I know I am at the right direction?". There is no answer to my question. He told me, " is your judgement, is a feeling."
I couldn't get my parking right until this morning, I am so upset and stress, I really have no idea what should I look out for or what am I looking at from the mirror, and my test is happening next Monday!
I was just searching on YouTube, hoping to find an answer, and YES! I FOUND YOUR VIDEO! After I watched repeatedly a few times. I went to try it out, it works wonderfully, I park it perfectly into the slot!
I really want to say thank you so much for all the effort in making all these videos. You saved me. At this current moment, I am going through all your other videos now.

[marianolarata]

Your parking videos are the best, even though they are not in my native language! Your lessons on learning angles are pure gold. Thank you for your great work!

[ranjeethashenoy]

This is the best reverse parking tutorial .Thank you very much for your time and efforts, it was very helpful for me as a foreign driver in the UK.
Please keep up the good work. Cheers mate.

[inglouriousbasterd]

I passed my driving test last year and started driving recently, forgetting many things my driving instructor told me in the meantime, but your videos and tips helped me so much. I have gained more confidence while driving, and easily learned how to do things I didn't know.

Thank you so much, you're such a legend!

[nosheennaveed]

You have such a positive energy that motivates a person to drive and learn without having a fear of doing mistakes.

Pls make a video on how to overcome speed fear while driving on dual carriage ways and motorway.
My heart beat starts increasing when I try to drive above 40 miles. Don't know how to cope with it.

[mikeboyd]

I've been driving for over 40 years and no-one has every explained this technique as well as you have, Richard. Brilliant!

Also, see the reverse parallel parking guide:- another really clear and foolproof method.

[Monkeylabs]

I passed my test a year ago but only got my first car a few days ago. I got super frustrated that the parking method I was taught didn't work at all despite trying many times. Saw this video that night and tried it the next day. BAM worked perfectly and reliably. Thanks for the help!

[niallwood]

I passed my test a week ago and videos like these really do help a huge amount, even now I've passed I'm still watching them to help!

[ShootingStar]

Praise the Lord for this video! I have been searching for something like this for ages. You have THE BEST video on this method I have ever seen, I am going to practice this on the weekend, I have always avoided parking this way as I have driving anxiety a bit and get nervous when people don't have patience when you are in a busy car park etc but with this video I feel confident enough to practice and perfect it for my car. Thank you SO MUCH!

[na-upgs]

I LOVE the way you talk! You emphasize every single word 😄😊

[vickyincornwall]

Amazing! Thank you so much for this, I had my first reverse bay parking lesson today and while it wasn't a nightmare, I can see I'm going to need to practise it a lot. Very grateful for this video and all your others... your calm, upbeat, can-do attitude and for sharing your knowledge so freely. You're the best learn to drive channel on Youtube! :)
