- Hi there smart drivers.
Talking to you today about how to
reverse stall park between cones
for the purposes of passing a road test.
Stick around. We'll be right back with that information.
(upbeat music)
- Hi there smart drivers,
Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to you today
about how to reverse stall park between cones
for the purposes of passing a road test.
Now, I'll put the video up in the corner here
for exercises that you can do
to learn where your vehicle is in space and place.
And learn mastery of the primary controls,
the steeling wheel, the throttle, and the brake
for those of you driving autotmatics.
For those of you driving manuals it'll also be
clutch control, which will improve
and the exercises in the learn to drive video
plus this exercise of reverse stall parking
between cones is going to improve your overall
driving and I encourage you to work with these
slow-speed maneuvers, work with the exercises
in the learn to drive video,
and we'll make you a better driver faster.
So focus on these slow-speed maneuvers.
Do these not just for the purpose of passing
the road test, but for the purposes of becoming
a smarter, better driver, faster.
All right so this is a fairly easy exercise
after you do all the other exercises.
Reverse stall parking is fairly easy.
Let's get started.
All right so when you pull up to the cones here
you wanna be about three feet away from the cones
in the passenger side.
So we're doing this on the passenger side
and it's gonna be a little tougher
on the passenger side.
And then you wanna angle out away from the cones.
So into reverse, and we're gonna back up.
And we're gonna keep the cone tight
to the passenger side.
We're not worry about the cone on either side.
We're gonna keep it tight to the passenger side.
And if you do the exercises
in the learn to drive video you can do that as well,
just place the cone out there and drive alongside of it
and you can learn where your blind area is
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
So we just keep it tight and I've got the wheel turned
all the way to the right.
And the cone is nice and tight to the vehicle.
And I can just quickly check here,
but this cone is good on this side here.
And now we're straight between the cones
and I've got the steering wheel turned
all the way to the right
so what I wanna do is
I wanna bring the steering wheel back to straight.
And we know that the steering wheel turns
one and a half turns to the left and to the right
for maximum turn of the steering wheels.
So we just bring it back one and a half turns
and we now know the steer tires are straight.
You can also move the vehicle a little bit
and you'll know that your steer tires are straight.
So we just back up.
We're in length,
we're in line here
with all the pylons and we can see
the back one in there as well
and we're good.
We're outside of the wing mirror
and we know that we're in between the pylons here.
We just back up until the nose of the vehicle
is in line with the pylons.
So that's how you do it on the passenger side.
We're just gonna go around
and we'll do it on the driver's side as well.
If you're new to Smart Drive Test here,
Smart Drive Test helps new drivers get a license,
that your drivers remain crash free,
and CDL drivers to start a career as a truck,
or bus drivers so if you're new here,
consider subsribing just about there, as well,
hit that bell. (bell dings)
That way you'll get instant notifications
when we get the videos up for you.
So again, about three feet away.
And we kinda angle off on this direction here.
Into reverse.
And we stalled the vehicle.
(laughs)
'Cause I dump the clutch too much.
Okay, and we come back.
And again, we keep
this pylon tight on this side of the vehicle.
And we're probably gonna have to
move forward here a little bit
because we're not
we don't have enough turning here.
So
pull ahead,
back into reverse,
now we're good.
And as well, get used to using your mirrors
because that's a critical skill
for learning how to drive and lane changing.
If you can learn to use your mirrors here,
it's gonna be a lot easier when you get out
onto the roadway.
So get used to using your wing mirrors
in conjunction with good observation techniques
to back up.
And that's how you do it on both the driver's
and the passenger's side for reverse stall parking
between cones.
And it's just a matter of renting
some of these pylons from your local rental shop.
They're inexpensive, probably about $10 for the day
for four of them.
Just pick them up from your rental shop there
and you can go to the parking lot
and practice this. Practice your reversing.
And as I said, it will improve your overall driving
and give you mastery of the primary controls
and will also teach you where your vehicle is
in space and place.
