Tip 1: How to Park in Reverse

Basic parking skills in limited spaces are practiced in driving schools, but applying them in real conditions is not so easy. It is most convenient to park in reverse.

Instructions

Before parking in reverse,make sure that the width of the area between the two parked cars is about 6 meters. When driving forward, the distance from the right mirror of the car to the parking place should be about 20 cm. When the mirror is in the middle of the parking space, turn the steering wheel to the left, take the view to the right mirror.

In the right mirror, you need to see the leftfront headlight of a car parked on the right. At this point, align the wheels of the car. Do not forget that all actions with the steering wheel are made in motion. After turning on the rear speed, when driving backwards, the view is in the right mirror all the same to the left headlight of the car on the right. As soon as the rear wheel comes to the corner of the parked car, turn the steering wheel to the right to go around it, then take the view to the left mirror. It is important not to rush in motion so as not to hit a parked car and not miss, not fitting into the parking lot.

At the moment when the left mirror opens the rightthe far corner of the parked car on the left, leave the steering wheel in the same position, the right mirror turns on. Estimate the distance by mirrors to the side of the parked car on the left and right. The distance in the mirror on the left should be less than the same distance to the side of the parked car on the right. At this point, when touching, align the wheels, look into the center mirror in the car. It remains only to drive back, not facing the fence or bumping into the back of the garage. Knowledge of the dimensions of your own car will help here.

Tip 2: How to learn to park?

Unfortunately, there is not much time left in driving schoolsfor teaching cadets a competent and safe parking. And after graduation, many novice motorists experience stress, exhaust nerves, parking their car several times a day.

Most often, parking failures occur because ofincorrect estimation of free space required for parking. That, in turn, is a consequence of inability to feel the dimensions of your car. Fortunately, this skill is easy to acquire, practicing on the circuit. First of all, hone your skills of driving the car in reverse. To do this, go for a few kilometers on the circuit, trying to navigate, including, and on the mirrors.

Training on the racetrack

Then arrange the pegs and racks so that theysimulated the location of other cars. Between such imaginary cars there should be a free space equal to twice the length of your car. Try to memorize the size of the parking space and learn to find a suitable parking space in urban conditions. Later, when the parking skills are sufficiently worked out, there will be enough stock for 35-45 cm at the front and rear of the car for parking. "Having noticed" a suitable parking place, stop in front of it. In the right-hand mirror you should see the left rear dimension of the car you will be standing next to. Turn your head back, looking over your shoulder. Starting to backtrack at minimum speed until your car is level with standing next to you. Then, sharply turn the steering wheel towards the curb. As soon as the rear wheel approaches the curb, stop. Now unscrew the steering wheel in the opposite direction. Again start to move back at the minimum speed, putting the car on the parking lot and trying not to touch pegs that imitate other cars. Do not forget to use the rearview mirror - it will allow you to better navigate and more accurately approach the obstacle.

If during the parkingsomething you doubt, it is better to stop. If there is no certainty that your car will fit - find another place. Turning your head back over your shoulder, do not forget about the mirror.

If your car is equipped with a parktronic, thisgreatly facilitate the task of proper parking. But do not trust the device 100% and do not lose vigilance. Often the sensors of parking sensors can have blind zones, and the device will not show, for example, low obstacles. And even more often the sensors get water or dirt and they stop "seeing" the obstacles.

How to park properly

Always think about the possible consequences of yourparking. Park so as not to stop others from getting into the parking lot or leaving it, not blocking the passage to others. If you park in a prohibited place, you risk not only not discovering your car later, but also paying a fine. If you put the car too close to the truck, it can scratch your car, leaving the parking lot. If the side of a nearby car is too close - you can not open the door. And be sure to concentrate on other vehicles, controlling emotions.

Having got out of the car, look around: there are not a number of old shields, tilted trees on the roofs of houses - icicles and drooping snow lumps.

When parking, consider the features of yourcar. For example, in rear-wheel drive cars, the turning radius is minimal, while for all-wheel drive vehicles, the maximum is. If you are a beginner and the process of putting your car on the parking lot still takes a long time, turn on the emergency.
