Backing into a Space


Question Posted Sunday September 4 2005, 12:43 pm

For my driving test I need to be able to BACK into a parking spot. During a driving lesson my instructor showed me how to do it on both the left & the right but I can never remeber the steps! If anyone can give me clear directions on how to do it on either the left, right, or both sides, I would be grateful! I need to know where to position the car to begin, which way to turn the wheel, and when to but it in reverse/drive. Thank you so much! (any info would be fine, thanks!)

I think everyone has problems driving sometime in their life whether their just learning or eldery. I drive pretty well and sometimes even have to park my gf's Expedition into a spot because she isn't to well at it. I think a reason I got good at driving, ironically, was through car games that I would get addicted to. Otherwise the main thing is just practicing and doing what you have to do to park without hitting anything. You also have to think good and be in control of the car and see how it manuevers. DON'T let the car control you or be afraid of it. Thats the best I could think of pretty much. Hope I helped. Good Luck![let me know how you do :)]

It really depends on the car. If you are using a larger car you will have to position it differently than if you have a smaller car. You should ask a parent to take you to an empty carlot and practice to see for sure where you should be positioned in the car you will be using to take the test. Good luck on the test, and remember if you don't make it the first time practice some more an you can always retake it. DONT GIVE UP!

Get it in the middle of the spot. Angle it correctly, turn the wheel the necessary amount, and give it some gas...not alot. Push the brake...(thats the pedal on the left) when you get into the spot fully. Put the car in park if its an automatic, and put it in 1st with the e-brake if its a stick. Turn the car off, step out, and do whatever it is your going to do. Nothing to it!
