Your channel is underrated. U deserve more viewers mate. I’m gonna recommend your channel to friends & family who’s learning how to drive.

Funny thing is i do have driving licence for like 15 months now, done around 13000 miles so far and still watching these and finding that stuff useful. Thanks for all these videos mate.

Struggled curb parking on a steep hill today. Instructor went and shouted, fucking hell’, felt so stupid. Thank you for help, hoping to improve going forward

[ThePokeHimOn]

this is PERFECT. just what i needed because in my last lesson i kept parking too wide of the kerb!

[mrandmrslaskar]

I have recommended your channel to my nephew he is learning to drive... you are one of the best instructors I have ever come across. Keep up the good work. Thank you for everything you do.

[chrishenderson]

Just like to say a big thank you to ya.
Had 3 lessons with an instructor who was awful. Completely different to how you explain things so decided I would teach myself in my wife's car following your instructions.
I passed this morning first time.
Many thanks and a merry Xmas to you

[slayerjjjX]

Honestly, one of the best videos there are on youtube. You explained everything that I needed thoroughly with examples and animations. This is quality.

Hi! Just wanted to pop on and say THANK YOU!! I passed first time today with 3 minors, and my instructor was a bit useless (he FELL ASLEEP on the morning of my test during our warm up 👀) and I pretty much put my success down to your videos!! Thanks ☺️💛

[robjacques]

As a training ADI I have found your videos invaluable and will take a lot of learnings from them to pass on to my own learners.

[jimbobur]

Thanks so much for this video! I've had 20+ hours of lessons with my instructor and struggle with getting the distance right when stopping near the side of the road. Why couldn't they just have explained it like this?🤦‍♂️

[touchdownmike]

This is literally the correct way parking aside the curb - using the side mirror. Great video!

[mohanlakshmanasamy]

You tried your best with the intention that driver can apply all your theoretical explanations to apply exactly for super close parking, safely. Yes, your explanations are really Marvelous.

[angellijoycesantiago]

I've struggled for pull up on the left and right maneuvre as I scratched the front rim of my instructor's wheel which made my anxiety even worse whenever she asked me to pull up on the left.

After watching your videos, and applying your technique and reference points, I did improved a lot. 😊 Your other videos also helped me to pass my test yesterday for the first time with 4 minors 🎉❤ Thank you so much Conquer Driving for all your help and more power to you!

[littymartin]

What an amazing instructor you are. I always have problem with parking near the curb. Your explanation gave me more confidence, I am better with parking close to the curb.

[sgao]

You are just brilliant! My instructor kept telling me to focus on the reference point and I had double vision. I thought it’s because of my glasses/eyesights. But actually exactly as you said, I should have focused on the curb, that’s it!

[labradormcgraw]

Let's just be quite clear on one point, people. In UK English a curb is a curtailment or a restriction. The edge of a British road is a KERB. 👍
(Love your vids BTW.)

[neelukasotiya]

You are genius.
Your ways of explaining are great.
My driving improved so much after watching your videos.
Thanks so much 👌🙋‍♂️

[henryasher]

i always wondered why it was such a huge no no to hit/mount the curb on your driving test, now I know why! Great video.

[wonderwoman]

You’re incredible at explaining things in a clear and concise way! Thanks so much

6:55 This is the kind of high-quality animation we all watch the channel for! :D
