Do read all the post of this topic, most are very useful advice. -
by the way...see a post...saying use the car imagine it as pole...
does thats..mean what we learn in school...which has the pole..same as outside..
The car as pole..but..pole so tall wor.... -
Get a manual, engage the first gear, and go easy on the clutch.
-
ee...my is an AUTO car..leh..my sis one..wor. Me read the other post liao...wow..chim to me.
turning into empty slots...is nothing to me..as is easy..cos..not scare beside got car..or behind got car..LOL...
but..parking..when there is 2 cars...at the side..which mean ...i have to park in the middle..is...SOOOO hard....sianz..made all my confidence gone case..=(
i think i have to but a damn small car...to drive..so parking no problem..LOL -
Tried parallel parking on an inclined slope?
-
i find two side got cars easier to park cos can judge... be patient drive more park more u will naturally learn the skill liao.
-
Confidence is the key pt...u control the vehicle... dont let the vehicle control u...!=) Practice makes perfection.... do more parking practices in a vacant carpark... u will know how to position ur car before reversing into the lot.
Be patient...if u are doing the rite thing... even ten cars queuing and waiting for u to get into the lot it doesnt matter... though if i am the one waiting ... i will be damn pissed... lolx. -
If I'm the one in queue, I'll get out the car, head for you and go:"Ma,am, I help you park lah so we can all be on our merry way."

Sometimes by being helpful you will be labeled as sexist.Originally posted by ditzy:If I'm the one in queue, I'll get out the car, head for you and go:"Ma,am, I help you park lah so we can all be on our merry way." -
You can book those refreshment courses, and ask them to teach you to do parking without the poles.Originally posted by funniegal:just got my auto license... going out the road was no problem..

I always feel that by positioning your car 45 degree before parking it will be easier to judge.. -

I do heard about the difficulties of doing a reverse on an auto car. For those who drove manual car, they think it seem quite dangerous without the use of cluthes.Originally posted by funniegal:ee...my is an AUTO car..leh..my sis one..wor. Me read the other post liao...wow..chim to me. -

i oso very scared when parking betwn 2 cars coz so scared to bang into them. tried learning fm instructor but joker took own sweet time to teach so as to get me to take more lessons fm him. paid him $45 per lesson of 1 hour. so dun waste yr money lah....go learn yrself, surely can make it one. -
u need more experience.. when i got my 1st license i also the same thing as u.. but 1 thing i can tell u, if u live at a HDB block, look down and observe how ppl park their car.. i notice the positioning of ur vehicle b4 turning in to park is the most important...Originally posted by funniegal:just got my auto license... going out the road was no problem..

there is another way, try to go to a carpark where there are lesser car... find a slot where there are at least 5 empty space slots.. then practice there... park le come out and see whether ur vehicle is parked correctly...
another tips for u... actually u can juz use the side mirror... sit up abit n try to see ur left and right mirror to see the floor of the carpark n beside ur vehicle.. it is really useful.. -
I also got my license last month (Feb) and bought new car last week ,Now have to practise more parking..remember to switch hazard lights so others waiting know u doing parking ,...he he

my sis also..almost give up in teach me LOL..kekekee.. yeah..think i have to learn e 45degress.. 45-degree tilt is still the best. tis morning tried parking again and tis time one shot went into the slot but of cos with a little bit of help fm fren sitting beside me. -
Usually I on my hazard light, keep to 1 side close to the lot I am aiming for. Wait for car behind to overtake/clear, then continue to do the 45degree thing. Unless you plan to go head first, better to let the traffic clear.

One simple advise ....
Picture your car from the outside by using your wing mirrors and use your rearview mirror when you are almost all the way in the lot ... -
May sound like a joke, but I'm serious. Play with a toy cars. Put two cars side by side with just enough space for a 3rd one to squeeze between... then practice with that... once you can visualize it... easier in your own car.Originally posted by funniegal:just got my auto license... going out the road was no problem..

Of course don't make your toy car do pivot turns on the spot. Try to make it's turning radius as realistic as you can. -
my advice is always pure n simple. look for a place with valet parking.
