Parking
Reverse Parking
Reverse parking makes every new driver nervous but like with everything else in driving there is a secret that will make it super easy. The secret is to slow down and take your time. Steer as much as possible before moving the vehicle. This helps the car to pivot more and you won't waste as much space while moving forward or backwards.
Types Of Parking Spaces
Singles lines.
Looped double lines. These parking spots allow more space between vehicles.
How To Park A Car
Curb-Side Parking
The secret to curb parking is to think a little further ahead and don't steer sharply to the curb. This helps by keeping the car straight as you gradually drift the car closer to the curb. The closer you get the slower you go. That way if your right front tire happens to touch the curb, it won't be anything intense. The tires of your vehicle must be within 15 cm of the curb.
Never park within 5 metres of a fire hydrant. Firefighters need to be able to quickly access fire hydrants in order to attach their hoses when there's a fire. If your vehicle is ever blocking a fire hydrant and firefighters are unable to access it they are legally allowed to smash the windows of your car in order to access the hydrant.
PARKING JOBS GONE BAD
Always take your time when parking and never accelerate suddenly because if you accidentally put the car into the wrong gear you could end up driving into a building.
