How to Park in a Diagonal Parking Space?
2 Answers
The method for parking in a diagonal parking space is as follows: 1. Align the left rearview mirror with the right line of the parking space; 2. Position the car on the right side of the space, then adjust the vehicle; 3. When the left rearview mirror aligns with the left side line of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue moving forward; 4. Stop the car when the vehicle's longitudinal axis forms an appropriate angle with the parking space, straighten the wheels, and slowly reverse; 5. Observe both left and right rearview mirrors to ensure the vehicle is aligned straight with the parking space. The steps for starting the vehicle are: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position (power mode) to allow the car's computer system to perform a self-check for at least 6 seconds, press the foot brake, and shift the gear from P to N; 2. Release the foot brake, turn the ignition key to the start position to ignite the engine; 3. Press the foot brake, release the handbrake, shift the gear from N to D, slowly release the foot brake to start, and smoothly press the accelerator according to road conditions to drive safely.
Parking in an angled parking space isn't actually difficult. I think the key is to align with the entrance and then slowly drive in. My method is to first observe the direction of the parking space from a distance, keeping the car parallel to the road as I approach. Then, after identifying the angle of the parking space, I turn the steering wheel to align the front of the car with the space and slowly drive in. During the process, it's important to frequently check the side mirrors to ensure the car is aligned with the lines on both sides, avoiding the wheels crossing the lines or scraping the neighboring car. Angled parking is much simpler than perpendicular parking because it naturally guides the car into the correct position without the need for complex reversing. I recommend beginners find an open area to practice a few times to develop a sense of angle and get familiar with the timing of rear-wheel steering. Always keep the speed slow to allow enough time for minor adjustments. I park perfectly every time, and as my spatial awareness improves, parking becomes smoother. Don't rush for quick results—safety comes first.
