So we put our signal on as we're approaching.
Okay, so we're about half a block away from the vehicle that we're going to parallel park beside. So all those things, you still have to look out the back window when you're backing up, but you can use the backup camera to make sure that you're safe and navigate those larger blind areas around the vehicle. The other thing with this truck as well, it has a backup camera which is really great because you can barely see out the back window because he's got a toolbox in in the bed of the pickup truck here. They will really, really help you out in terms of how close you are to the curb and checking your blind spots. If you don't have Convex Mirrors on your larger vehicle, get those, I'll put a link down in the description where you can get those and order those, put them on your vehicle. The nice thing about these bigger vehicles, most of them are going to have Convex Mirrors. The difference with this is you got bigger blind areas. The 45° degree landmarks looking out the back corner of the vehicle and how far you pull into the space. I'll put a card up in the corner for you if haven't seen the basic parallel park video already. Huge vehicle, probably twice the size of the Buggy.Īll the fundamentals are essentially the same.
If this is all you have access to for the purposes of your driver's test, I borrowed my friend's Dodge Ram 2500.
