3 parking mistakes that almost all drivers make
Those who have spent more than a dozen years behind the wheel are convinced that parking errors are the lot of “dummies” who have just graduated from a driving school. Experienced drivers, in their "expert" opinion, for the most part always do everything right. However, judging by what we see on the streets every day, things are completely different. The three most common mistakes of modern motorists are in the material of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Parking is an art for those who have a driver's license. A process that requires maximum concentration, utmost accuracy and certain knowledge from the performer. For novice motorists who have recently said goodbye to the instructor, maneuvering in the parking lot is a nightmare with all the consequences: trembling hands, sweaty palms and a rapid heartbeat and, as a result, a dented car (and well, if only your own). But this is only the first time - due to inexperience.
After driving a thousand kilometers, the average driver - we do not consider particularly severe cases - gains some confidence. It feels much calmer and freer both in traffic and in the parking lot. Misses become many times less, you have to go to a car service less often in order to patch up the bumper. After several "driver" years, the helmsman generally forgets that he once fought in hysterics at the sight of parking spaces. He is sure: all fears and mistakes are in the past… What a delusion!
Smart up the hill will not go
In order to get home as soon as possible - to your favorite sofa, to the TV and a bottle of beer - many drivers leave their cars anywhere. Often cars are parked on a steep slope, which is extremely unsafe. How can you be completely sure that the mechanisms of the hand brake or gearbox will keep the vehicle stationary if a fool flies into it at breakneck speed? What if in winter, in ruthless ice? And okay, the iron will suffer, but people can be injured.
My hut on the edge
Suppose there are no slopes in the yard of the football fan's house. But there are, for sure, entrances and exits or turns - also far from the best places for parking. Drivers who prefer them do not think that with their transport they, at least, block the view of other road users. In addition, such recklessness is fraught with damage to the car - you never know how a healthy garbage truck will go by, a blonde in a newly bought Porsche Cayenne, or a novice driver. Run then, look for someone who has worn you down.
In crowded but not mad
See how cars are parked in the huge parking lots of shopping malls. The vast majority of citizens tend to moor closer to the entrance, even if all the vacancies there are already occupied. Drivers rooted to the driver's seats “embed” in the narrowest gaps, blocking the road for pedestrians and other cars, just to shorten the path on their own two. Passers-by in their address release only foul language, but in body shops they are the most beloved customers. I wonder how often they straighten out the dents caused by the neighbor's doors?
