stop fn staring!
I'm a wee bit impatient when it comes to getting in and getting the fk out, at malls or wherever..people can't park..and don't have a clue what to do...it's not road rage.
I'd rather park across the street, and walk 450 yards to the entrance, it's much faster.
Ever come back to your vehicle to find new dent..nics and fn scratches..
Parking instructions..
1
Locate a large parking lot that isn't too full so that you can practice with empty areas and areas that have cars already parked. You want to practice parking in the empty area first, until you get comfortable before attempting to park next to someone else's car.
2
Pull up to an empty parking stall slowly, until your front left tire is even with the painted stall line nearest to you. Signal your intent to turn left. Slow down until you're almost stopped, and begin to turn your steering wheel to the left. As you're pulling your car in, keep track of your distance from the painted stall line to your left. With your car in Park, check your distance from both painted lines.
3
Straighten your steering wheel out and continue to pull into the parking stall slowly. If there is a concrete curb ahead of you, pull your car up until your front tires bump this curb. If your car is a low-clearance car, however, stop before you reach the curb so that you don't damage the underside of your car. Continue practicing in parking spots with no adjacent cars until you feel comfortable parking.
4
Move to an area of the parking lot which has some cars already parked. Look for an empty stall that has two sedans or smaller cars parked on either side; it will be harder to pull in and reverse out if you are between two large SUVs. Ask your instructor to demonstrate parking between two vehicles as you watch.
5
Practice parking between two vehicles or next to one vehicle, pulling your left tire even with the painted parking line. (You have been practicing pulling into a stall nearest to you.)
6
Begin practicing parking in a stall on your right side in order to learn how to gauge the distance between the right side of your car and the painted stall line. Pull up to an empty spot slowly until your right tire is even with the painted line, signal your intent to turn right and turn into the stall and straighten your steering wheel out. Pull up to the curb, stop and put your car into Park. Check your car's distance from both painted stall lines.
