Pull-Through Parking: Is It Safe & Is It Even Legal?
Pull-Through Parking: Is It Safe & Is It Even Legal?
There are just a few ways that you can park your vehicle into a parking space. You can either pull straight in, back in, parallel park, or park using what is known as Pull-Through Parking. Each of these has pros and cons, and situations where it's best or safest to use each one. In this video, we're looking at how to safely use pull-through parking, when it's not a good idea to use it, and if it's even legal. Maybe you never use this type of parking, but it does have its advantages, and may be a better choice at times. Please comment below on whether you ever park like this, and what your thoughts are about it. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for the video.that’s super instructive. Are you saying in the State of Illinois, when your light turn green, it’s illegal to edge forward into the intersection (as long as you’re not blocking the flow of traffic) and wait for the right gap to complete your left turn? In Massachusetts State, where I’m from, if you have a green light, you can inch forward a little bit into the middle of the intersection as long as you’re not blocking any traffic and then you can complete your left turn. Pls help clarify. Thank you

    So just to clarify, when on a curved road, I should be looking ahead somewhere at the centre of the curve? Some people say to look at the interior of the curve, Can you clarify?

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills 4 дні тому

      I prefer looking more towards the center of the lane. I might compromise and say look somewhere between the center and the interior of the curve, particularly on curves turning to the right. Studies show we tend to steer in the direction of where we're looking, and if we're looking at the very interior of the curve, we'll tend to steer more to the inside or shoulder of the road. I like to look a little ways out ahead with my vision focused on the center area of the road to help keep my vehicle going down the middle of the road, instead of tending to drive on the edge of the road.

    You have no idea how long I have been searching for the perfect blind spot mirror,, especially for the most important side, the driver's side. I went as far as ordering a replacement mirror for the passenger side, flip it, and attach it with adhesive to the driver's side. Right side mirrors are convex and offer a better view, although they are not perfect, as you observed. BTW, I noticed that cars in Europe have more convex mirrors on the driver's side. Once you get adjusted to figuring out the distance they are much much much safer than the American standards. With my new (used) mini camperized van, I have attached TWO round blind spot mirrors, one above the other, to the external mirrors but I am going to get this product. It doesn't matter that the video was sponsored (I am always suspicious) but you look like the kind of guy I can trust. Thank you.

    • @HowSkills
      @HowSkills 5 днів тому

      Sounds like you’ve come up with a good solution for your vehicle! And I’ve always wondered why the US doesn’t have convex mirrors on the driver’s side like many European countries do. American car manufacturers may build a convex section into the main mirror, but that’s as far as they go. I originally made this video without a sponsor because I liked the mirrors, and then after the video was out the sponsor reached out and offered the sponsorship. But I genuinely like these mirrors, and still use them, one on each mirror.

      Just keep practicing, and maybe practice with some empty boxes at the sides of the parking spot. If you hit those, no harm done. And if you don’t have blind spot mirrors, get some and angle them so they show you the lines of the parking spot. That can help you get lined up correctly when backing. Be patient with yourself!

    You mention that it's basically like changing lanes, but it's changing lanes when the lane you're in is about to abruptly end. That's the part that makes me so nervous. If it's a long on-ramp, then it's not that big a deal unless traffic is very heavy, but so often on-ramps are short and I just worry I won't have an opportunity in time. It takes a lot of faith! Also, a tip for my fellow scaredy cats: Use Google Earth to check out on-ramps before you go! Sometimes you can figure out that getting on at one point has just a short on-ramp, but if you drive surface streets a few miles to the next one, the on-ramp is much longer and easier. I love being able to check out what it's going to be like before I go!

    • @HowSkills

      Once the bad battery engine starts, it’s best to turn off the good battery engine, and then you can begin removing the cables. Remove the cables in reverse order of what you put them on. Meaning, remove the cable from the negative ground on the bad battery first, then remove the negative from good battery, then positive cable from good battery, and then positive cable from the bad battery.
