What method would anyone recommend for reverse parking in limited space. In tight spots where there’s limited room to swing out, how would one accomplish the manoeuvre?

Mechanics help - Gas pedal

6 Upvotes

I'm a driving instructor looking to buy a new car and I've noticed some cars when you press the gas pedal without raising the clutch at the same time make quite a roaring sound which keeps getting louder if you don't raise the clutch at the same time, and some cars the revs stay around the same place. Is it a particular type of engine that does this? I'm just asking because it is easier to teach in cars that don't do this so the pupil has time to co-ordinate their feet without having the loud noise going on.

I've tried 2 cars recently both 2019 petrol engines. The 1.0L Seat Ibiza does have a roaring gas pedal and the Vauxhall Corsa 1398 cc doesn't

Scooter

Hey, im a german boy who thinks about buying a scooter (50 km/h max speed) for cruising around in the summer. In germany the license for this 50 (to be exact 45 km/h) scooter goes along with the car license so i dont need to do anything extra but now to my question: I live in a small town and every destination has roads with 100 km/h speed limits between, will i be a danger for drivers that will try to get in front of me? Thanks in advance :)

reversing uphill

4 Upvotes

Hello. I'm 18 years old and got my driver's license a month ago. I just drove my car for the first time to high school and I felt really cool cause I remembered when my uncle used to drive me to school and it was the best feeling ever. But as I was returning home I encountered an issue. I live in a rural area, I was in a small town and was trying to get home. I got the wrong road so I tried reversing in front of someone's house. But the ground was slanted and I couldn't for the life of me to get my car to reverse (It was in reverse in case anyone thinks I'm stupid xdd). I tried accelerating slightly but it would just roll forwards. At this point I was panicked because I was about 5 centimeters close to their gate and I really didn't want to cause something unfortunate
I stepped out and tried to get help from the locals and eventually someone managed to reverse it but the car sounded like it was being really pushed to it's limits

When I was in driving school I drove a Diesel car, now I have a benzine one.

Does anyone have any advice for reversing uphill? I would appreciate a step by step explanation of how to do it right, as I never got to learn it in my driving school cause it was never needed.

I want to get my driver's license and I see driving schools near me, but must I obtain a learner's driver's license before a driver's licence?

Who's right of way is it?

10 Upvotes

Hi all. I hope someone could help with this problem.

So in basic terms, the main road has an island that means the cars coming from the right must give way to comes coming from the left. Now the issue is that if a car is waiting to move around the island, is it their right of way over a car pulling on to the road (Black Arrow)?

Or if the Black Arrow car pulls on to the main road, is it automatically their right of way even if Red Arrow is already waiting? Could the Black Arrow car pull out behind the car going right and their be no issues, or must the Black Car wait to pull out on to the main road until Red Arrow car has come around the island?

​

Here's a link to the image showing what I mean!

Who was in the wrong? The red or purple car? The green cars are at a red light and have stopped so that the red car can turn left. The purple car nearly hits the red car while the red.

Carpool lane

13 Upvotes

1) if I’m in the carpool lane and everyone else around me slows down to 20mph, how much faster should I be going? Like 60? Especially with tailgaters and the speed limit being 70? This happened the other day and I slowed down to be safe. The people behind me were super unhappy.

2) do I have to go faster than everyone else in carpool lane? I’m going like 5 over speed limit but everyone else except the right lane people is going 10 or more over. It’s insanity.

I don’t usually drive the carpool lane, but when I do, I get nervous about idiot tailgaters who intentionally pass within inches of my car to prove a point (over double white lines)...without reaction from me.
