How to Find the Center Point of the Car Front Inside the Vehicle?

[Tanner]

When the line of sight passes through the right wiper and intersects with the target, the tire will run over that target. When driving 60 centimeters away from the roadside on the right side, when the right washer overlaps with the roadside target, the car body is still 60 centimeters away from the roadside.

Finding the center point of the car's front end inside the vehicle is a technique I practice often, especially useful for urban parking. I usually sit upright in the driver's seat, adjust my position for a comfortable posture, and then look for a feature on the hood aligned with the center point of the steering wheel, such as a small logo or edge line on the hood. Height can affect the reference point, so it's recommended to practice in a safe area, like an empty parking lot, by slowly approaching a cone and aligning it a few times. Don't treat the point as absolutely precise, as vehicle design or road tilt can cause deviations; when actually driving, always check blind spots with rearview mirrors and backup cameras to ensure safety. Finding the center point can prevent scraping in narrow entrances and save time. It took me a few weeks of consistent practice to understand my car's characteristics.
