How to learn how to park
Confidence on the road is acquired only with practice.
Not a simple driving experience begins with parking rules. This is the basis of all driving. Without this, it is impossible to imagine the correct movement on the roads, regardless of whether a novice driver lives in a small town or in a metropolis.
Professionals are ready to share how to learn how to park a beginner on their own.
Unfortunately, not every person who has completed practical training at a driving school has managed to fully master the skills of parking a car.
But without an independent workshop, you will not be able to take your place in the parking lot near the house the first time or successfully stand among other shopping center buyers without violating the allotted markings.
How realistic it is to translate theoretical recommendations into action is difficult to judge, because only through trial and error were these prescriptions drawn up.
To begin with, we will master the occupation of free space between two cars on the side of the road.
There are two ways to park on the spot: forward or reverse.
For the first option, you need to learn how to visually evaluate the interval between the nearest standing cars (and do not forget about the signs prohibiting parking and stopping).
This gap should be more than 2,5 times the length of the parked car.
It is important when maneuvering out of the lane to leave a gap to the nearest vehicle and turn the steering wheel very vigorously into the cell only at the moment when the front row door is level with the visual line from the bumper of a standing vehicle.
If you miss this moment, the maneuver in one step will fail. While driving, slow down significantly.
Ideally, your car should occupy the same lane as the cars standing next to it, parallel to the curb, without protruding rearward into the lane.
For many drivers, parking in reverse is much more convenient. It is relevant in cases where the free space is less than two side lengths.
The maneuver must be started at the moment when you reach the vehicle in front and reach a distance of 50 cm from it.
Reversing must be carried out without visually breaking away from the safe turn point (the intersection of the line of sight towards the rear right wheel and the body).
This place should line up with the left rear corner of the car, after which you can immediately completely turn the steering wheel.
Do this until your bumper is level with the front right corner of the vehicle behind you.
The maneuver will be considered completed when the front wheels are pointed towards the curb if there is a slope in the road.
The distance to nearby cars must be maintained, allowing them to freely leave the parking lot.
I am sure that these instructions will easily help you learn the basics of parking, both forward and reverse.
The main thing is faith in yourself and perseverance. Good luck on the road!
