Heres a reala dvice and i hope you take it seriously from me - Forget what you learn in driving school about parking. Forget about looking out for poles. USe the pillar or cars beside you to gauge. Try driving your car a 45degree angle and then slowly reverse into the slots. Make use of your side view mirrors and get a friend to help you gauge how close you are to the adjacent cars. After awhile you will be more confident.Originally posted by Jp1:I jus pass my tp test and i cant park in carpark which are like normal reverse de...

Buy a pair of those small round convex mirrors and stick them on your side mirrors. They're lifesavers ! Other than that, practise x3.

do your practise on those floor w less cars.Originally posted by Jp1:Then if car park fully pack i park where......
find a lota tt is empty n has no cars left n right n park according to the line markers.
die die still cannot thn go install reverse sensors. pretty cheap these days n makes reverse parking a breeze. -
and lesser chance of ppl going up there so tt u can piak the fella u want at the back of yr car yea?Originally posted by skeujin:park on the higher floors whr ther are less cars... -
rely on ur new toy

that'll be the LAST thing tt i'll EVER rely on.....Originally posted by junh:rely on ur new toy

haha ya...... some parking lot got like a pole like above or below the sensor and when they cant sense tat u jus crash into there......Originally posted by AE86tofu:that'll be the LAST thing tt i'll EVER rely on..... -

hmmm.... The advice like no much help... any more advice like when to turn and what steps to follow

Hmm, this is how I park.. I'll go into 45 degree, then start reversing. I'll look at the left mirror to make sure that I won't hit the car on my left. You can adjust and move forward a little if you feel you are going to hit it. Basically check that there's ample space between your car and the 2 cars beside you. Slowly adjust then do a straight reverse if there's enough space.

pole touch arrow, one left turn.
pole disappear, full lock in!
i've driven a few times... but i've yet to do any parking. -
The 45 degree rule is your best bet. For me, I directed my sde mirrors slightly down so that I can see the lot when my car is entering the lot.Originally posted by Jp1:hmmm.... The advice like no much help... any more advice like when to turn and what steps to follow -
this does nt apply to class 4 vehs....Originally posted by sinicker:pole touch arrow, one left turn.

If the parking lot that is empty and you know that the size of your car will fit nicely into the lot (SG mulit storey carpark fits all cars, its the way how others park) then apply what others said here ... 45 degree rule ...
For me, i also park my car using the 45 degree rule and i usually dont care about my left side mirror and just look at my right side mirror (This method you need to know the size of your car well i guess) and i will park as close to the car on my right. Once your rear wheel inline with the front bumper of the car on your right then full lock your steering wheel. At this time take a peep at your left mirror.
Note : Practice makes perfect ... Do it slow and do it good

heres something strange for me.... i can parallel park, i can reverse park but i cant forward park. also i cannot park in the box when there is no cars around me. when there is cars everywhere i have no problem parking no matter how small the space is as long as the car can fit... quite strange...
-
today i drove. and i didnt park again. i just drove str8 into the parallel parking lot coz' the place so empty.
-
I find it diffucult to forward park too.. maybe I dun do enuf of that. I usually reverse or parallel park.Originally posted by SEI:heres something strange for me.... i can parallel park, i can reverse park but i cant forward park. also i cannot park in the box when there is no cars around me. when there is cars everywhere i have no problem parking no matter how small the space is as long as the car can fit... quite strange...
Actually with reverse parallel park, u can squeeze into really small lots. Only worry is cars in front or behind you may damage your car when they move out. -
Yes, this works well for me..Originally posted by nick34:If the parking lot that is empty and you know that the size of your car will fit nicely into the lot (SG mulit storey carpark fits all cars, its the way how others park) then apply what others said here ... 45 degree rule ...

Check the lot size b4 you try this method. Ensure the space is wide enuf to fit your car. Coz you dun wan to kiss the car on your left while you reverse looking at the refence car on your right. -
this is why with this 45-degree method, which is apparently universal for all perpendicular parking (except the dumb driving centres), you have to align your car to the side where the lot is before forward slanting 45 degrees, then reverse in.Originally posted by Jp1:Hmm.... i try but i find if i do this way the car front will crash with the front car parking infront cos car park is like quite cramp -
because it's the front wheels that are steering, turning in the forward direction has a different angle and radius from turning backwards.Originally posted by SEI:heres something strange for me.... i can parallel park, i can reverse park but i cant forward park. also i cannot park in the box when there is no cars around me. when there is cars everywhere i have no problem parking no matter how small the space is as long as the car can fit... quite strange... -
wow...parallel park, reverse park, forward park... im not sure what they are but i think i have a rough idea. cant wait to learn driving and get a car of my own!!!
