How to Locate the Parking Point for Ramp Stopping?

Wiper alignment method: Brake when the prominent point of the wiper, the stopping marker pole, and your line of sight form three aligned points. Many test items involve tracking alignment lines - use the right front corner (1/3 position) of the engine hood to follow the guideline.

I remember when learning how to park on a slope, I couldn't get it right at first, but later figured out a method. Generally, when driving uphill, find a fixed reference point, like a parking pole or line on the side. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the upper edge of the parking line, the parking position is basically correct. Adjust your seating position according to your height. I'm about 170cm tall, and when sitting upright, aligning the front third of the hood with the line works well. The wiper nodes can also be used, but you need to try a few times to remember your personal viewpoint. The key to slope parking is safety—don't park too far forward to avoid rolling back, or too far back to avoid crossing the line. I recommend beginners practice reference points on flat ground before attempting slopes to avoid nervous mistakes. Always check your rearview mirror angles while driving to maintain clear visibility and prevent blind spot accidents.

When I first learned to drive, my instructor taught me to find parking reference points, saying that using the car's markers is the most practical. I got used to aligning the center line of the left rearview mirror with the middle of the parking pole, and once stopped, it was perfect. On slopes, because the tilt affects visibility, I sometimes adjust the seat height slightly to find a suitable position, just making sure not to lean forward too much. Reference points vary from person to person—I tried using the hood bulge or the wiper arm, but ultimately found the left rearview mirror the most reliable. For safety, practice multiple times to get familiar with the car's behavior, and after parking, engage the handbrake firmly to test stability before turning off the engine. On different slopes, like steep ones, calculate the distance in advance to avoid the danger of rolling.

When looking for a ramp parking spot while driving, I find visual alignment crucial based on experience. For instance, aligning the front edge of the hood with the top edge of the parking line usually ensures the correct position. The lower edge of the rearview mirror can also serve as a reference, but requires a fixed sitting posture. Vehicle height significantly impacts this—taller vehicles like SUVs require adjusting the reference point higher. If alignment points are hard to find, I recommend relying more on the rearview mirror as it directly reflects distance. Practice is key; repeating the process a few times helps master it. For safety, test the brakes after parking to prevent rolling downhill.
