When I just got my license, my dad made my drive his lorry

Was forced to learning parking and driving with a lorry for one
whole year. Now I'm so glad to remove the P plate AND not being
forced to only drive the lorry.
My tactic to park, adopted from my dad, is to turn head first till
the edge of the car (lorry for my case) touches the middle of the
selected lot, then turn away from the lot. After that, just reverse
in and it will be 90% of the time, just nice.
