6 ways to help new drivers park easily in any situation
(Baonghean.vn) - Parking is often one of the most intimidating techniques for new drivers, especially those who are "faint-hearted". But in fact, once you get used to the car, you will find parking easier, it seems to become a conditioned reflex. The following tips will help new drivers park more skillfully.
1. Parallel parking

Back in. The view mirrors make backing into a parking space easier than moving forward.
Start by parking your car side by side with the car in front, leaving 60 cm between the two cars and the rears of the two cars level.
Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. Still keeping the steering wheel firmly to the right, back up until you see the license plate of the car behind you in the rearview mirror, which should be at a 45-degree angle. Straighten the steering wheel and back up.
Reverse until the front right corner of the car is level with the rear of the car in front. While stopped, turn the steering wheel hard to the left. Finally, reverse the car into an empty space.
2. Back into the parallel pen
 |
A distance of 50 cm on each side is ideal for parking. With this distance, when opening the door, you will not touch other cars, and it is also easier to see from both sides of the mirror.
Many people try to back into the garage at a narrower distance, but then open the door and hit the car next to them, making it difficult to get out or take things out, or even get their clothes dirty if the car is not clean. Many people are "busy" parking and then cannot get out of the car.
3. Park forward 90 degrees
90 degree forward parking is one of the easiest ways to park because the driver can easily control the space in front and on both sides. With this method, the driver needs to pay attention to which side he wants to park on, then extend the steering wheel to the opposite side. For example, if parking on the right side, extend the steering wheel to the left and then move in. Depending on the length of the car, choose the appropriate time to turn the steering wheel.
4. Reverse 90 degrees
 |
With a 90 degree reverse, the most important thing is to determine when to move the car through the parking space and stop and start steering to reverse. With a medium sized car, it is usually necessary to move the car until the rear end of the space is almost out, then stop, turn the steering all the way and reverse.
5. Cross-parking
Similar to 90-degree parking, diagonal parking is easier because the turning angle is wider, making it easier to measure. The driver will determine where to start turning the wheel to enter depending on the car, usually when the mirror lines up with the near line of the parking space.
6. Back up (forward) the car onto the sidewalk
 |
You should turn the car diagonally, bring one rear wheel (or front wheel) forward, apply moderate acceleration, then choose to bring the remaining wheel up and finally turn the car straight again to continue moving backward (or forward).
In the case of 2 wheels perpendicular to the sidewalk, reversing into a parking space is very difficult and dangerous. Pressing both wheels against the sidewalk and then accelerating will cause the car to lose momentum, making it difficult to pass, especially on high sidewalks, while wasting fuel and causing strong collisions under the car. In particular, it is dangerous when the driver often tries to step on the gas pedal hard, which can easily lead to loss of control.
This operation is similar to parking positions higher than the road surface.
