I don't usually comment but you are honestly the best virtual instructor out there; the combination of explaining things thoroughly and the animation graphic works wonderfully and really easy to understand. I hope you get a lot more subscribers and likes because you well deserve it!

I have my drivers license, but I’ve not driven since the day I passed my test. Love watching these videos just so I can keep up to date, and not forget what I learned

[Anna.Z.]

I'm very impressed how well organized your videos are! Theory, graphics, multi angle views from and outside the car. Very well done!

Hi Richard,

I passed my test today and your videos played a massive part, my instructor unfortunately let me down ( after milking me per lesson and spending a whole lesson just on how to use the mirrors!)

I used your video to learn without an instructor all manoeuvres and all correct mirror checks! ( had them on repeat)

Thank you!!

as a Valet driver I must say this is some of the best tips you can get for forward parking

Especially the bit about over shooting a spot being better than under shooting

[nanothefruit]

Your editing is straight fire.
I know it must be taking you hours on a single video! I appreciate the hardwork!!

[Maree-clurr]

I passed my test 2 months ago and still enjoy watching your videos 🙂

[MrRandomer]

I recently passed my test and just bought my first car today. Watching your videos really gave me that extra confidence on my journey to getting on the roads. Thanks dude!

[FinalRevive]

i passed my test about a month and a half ago but I sometimes find manoeuvering very challenging and parking in tight spaces without a lot of room for error. this video gives a lot of great rules of thumb and I found it very useful. thank you :)

Finally, someone who actually advocates dry steering... the idea that it causes irreparable damage to the car somehow is just complete nonsense.

[sadhnatripathi]

Must watch the video after 6 mins. It's a wonderful parking tip n can avoid any failure in forward parking even with less driving practice. Excellent information for the new drivers!

[MissBeauty]

You are probably the most informative and best person who explains driving and manoeuvres on the whole of YouTube. This is genuinely a god send. My driving lessons have been messed up because of covid so I’m spending the time between driving watching your videos and soaking up all in information so I Can put it in to practice when I’m ready!

[samgraham]

Watching this about 2 weeks after passing my test first time. This channel was so helpful in the buildup to my test, and its so good now that I’ve passed to get more and more confident.

[jamesasc]

It's better to go late. I always pick up a little bit of yoda wisdom from these videos

[takarat]

Honestly, I am really grateful for your guidance in this. I was really struggling with the manoeuvres in forward bay parking because my driving instructor would constantly yell at me for getting it wrong. I was losing my motivation for driving as he kept saying I should drive like a man and not a woman, constantly comparing me to his other students and telling me the opposite of the road rules e.g. speed in moderation but will tell you you're going slow when he tells you it's fast when it's the speed limit. I'm hoping I pass tomorrow thanks to your videos. I learnt more driving from this channel than my countless hours of driving lessons. Thank you for helping me and so many others. I appreciate it very much.

[sharley]

Brilliant video! Incredibly clear, concise, friendly and build confidence. So glad I found your channel, will go away and watch a lit more now. Thank you!

[caylembaltasar]

I don't know what I would've done without this channel! All the questions I have before I watch the video, is always answered by the end of the video.

Thank you and keep up the awesome content!!

[navkant]

You are awesome Richard. Watching all your videos as I'm teaching my wife how to drive.

[kgabotshegofatso]

I am in South Africa and I love watching your videos. They are very helpful 😌

[EvilTim]

I was really needing all those reference points on when to turn but I got some other excellent tips as well. Thank you mate
