Guess my version has a few flaws, for TS, check out a useful
step by step procedure from another forumer from somewhere
else.
Quote megaweb:
Position your car so that it is 1 car length ahead and about
1m away of the side.
Turn your head to check the rear for
clearance
Signal left
Turn your head to check left, right and then the
rear
reverse straight slowly
Reverse until see the first pole from the rear, full lock to
left
occassionally turn head to check left and
right
Reverse until see second pole appear on right mirror, 2 rounds to
the right...
See first pole in the front, full lock to right...
Turn head to check the rear
Make sure I don't hit the rear poles while reversing...
Then 1st gear turn left to straighten the wheels...
Reverse move back to center of parking lot...
Neutral and hand brake.
Raise both arms surrender to tester.
Then 1st gear move to the front again...
Turn your head to check right and the rear for
clearance
Reverse slowly with full lock to the left
Signal right and engage 1st gear
Turn your head to check right for blind spot and move
off
btw, I am still using the same techniques to park my car but not
using pole. Checking safety is important. There is reason to check
safety for each step. Check left, right and the rear is not only
checking the car, you also need to take note of the pedestrian esp.
kids.
Additional tips:
- move off and reverse slowly <-- you need to master the half
clutch to get smooth and ready
- do not turn the steering wheel when car is stationary
- always know what you suppose to do next , thus drive
confidently
- do not panic when encounter a hazard. If you can proof that you
can handle any hazard, there is no reason TP will fail you.
