Parking practice
Road safety charity IAM recently offered some sound advice on parking. The organisation suggests that: in a car park you should reverse into parking spaces, making it safer when you’re driving out, as well as more fuel efficient as you’ll be manoeuvring with a warm engine. Try to start by manoeuvring the car so that the space is straight behind you: the less turning you have to do backwards, the easier most people find it to judge. Also, the rear
wheels are the point where a car ‘pivots’, so watching where they are relative to the corner of a wall / other car is really useful. Car sides are often not straight, so watch other things than just the car next to you when lining up in a space. Use your mirrors as well as looking over your shoulder and there’s no shame in peering out of an open window to get a better look. IAM chief examiner Peter Rodger said, “It’s important that you take your time and don’t succumb to pressure by other drivers around you when you are parking – it’s far better to do it right than to do it quickly.”
