  Whoa lau parking is easy if you have reverse sensor .... look at the wing mirrow lah ... then see both sides ... if in the vertical parking ... then slowly back in to the parking lot ... dun kaput by accelerating into the lot .. put into R then use your brake to control the speed

  If reversing with your car head pointing towards your right, wind down your window and you can then look down at the car park bay markings on the right.... Very easy to guage this way. But do be careful of the vehicle on your left.

  got license already... then practise... keep practising...
  
  when you're at it, figure out how the car moves.. how the wheels and where the car moves when you steer.. and once you figure this out, it's dead simple!
  
  good luck!

  Alot of new driver love to park in btw of cars for they think that it wil be much more easy to park..... just imagine the two stationary cars as the pole.... then start turning....
  As for me I do it at an angle then slowly turn in.... And I love to find empty spaces where I can really any how park.....

  a lot of people doing that. i see a lot of _new_ cars on the road that have big dents and scratchs on the rear bumper... usually right in-between the sensors

  simple. aim car at parking lot, accelerate hard, lift off, pull handbrake up sharply and release, turning steering wheel sharply at the same time, allow car to spin 180, shift into reverse, accel hard into lot, brake hard, done.

  Try to see how much you car turns, then you will roughly get a feel of how to turn into the lot.
  
  There's only 1 rule to parking: Don't hit anything with your car.

  I have always used 60% of my right mirror to make sure I don't bump into the car on my left or to see I'm aligned, 20% of my left mirrow to make sure I don't bump into the car on my right or check for alignment, and 20% of the rear view mirror to make sure I don't knock my "backside" against anything!!

  Parking MUST dare dare go in, dun hesitate when u are sure ur car is in the right position and angle, reverse with one turn, thats need alot of practice
• BufPuf

  7 Jul 04, 09:17

  actuali quite hard leh
  
  especially doing parallel parking..den got car waiting for u..and u keep adjusting..also will stress..
  
  as a result..if i drive my dad's car out..i dun go places with parallel parking and rather park somewer far and walk

  actually using the side mirrors helps parking alot. look back over your shoulders(u learnt this while learning driving) once to check whether behind clear, den the rest is up to your trusty side mirrors. lol just recently i found out that it's even easier to park inbetween a few empty lots and can accurately park in first time coz u can actually see the parking lines on the floor without having to adjust ur mirrors at all. u just gotta move yer head... haha.

  Agreed of wat most of them have said,except heng lah,wat acelerate,turn 180 degree stuff..(koe he joking lah) U just have to practise more loh.when my gal friend got her licence,her parking also not gd(mine also lah,we got our licence the same day)Juz that i got my dad's car to drive ard....
  
  Remember,no one is gd the moment he/she got her licence in parking.U juz have to practice more.Now my gf reverse parking also very gd liao leh.
