What are the techniques for stopping at a fixed point on a ramp with a 30cm distance?

Before going up the ramp, align the car body to avoid adjusting on the slope, as it's easy to cross the 30cm line. Then proceed slowly up the ramp. When the right 1/3 position of the car aligns with the yellow edge line on the ramp, the distance between the right wheel and the yellow line will be exactly 30cm. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the second thick yellow solid line (pole line), you can press the brake and clutch to stop. Then, you need to complete the starting action within 30 seconds. Release the clutch steadily, wait for the car body to shake for 3 seconds, then release the handbrake, clutch, and brake.
I think the key to stopping within 30cm on a slope is finding the right reference point. Having driven for many years, I often practice on inclines by aligning the hood or window edge with the roadside markings to ensure the car is parallel. Control the speed very slowly, make slight steering adjustments, and don't rush to stop. Through practice, I've found that when the wheels are 30cm from the curb, the car body aligns best with the slope—this is both safe and prevents rolling. Safety first: after stopping firmly, pull the handbrake tightly, check the mirrors to confirm the distance, and then turn off the engine. Remember, with more experience, it becomes second nature—get more road practice to develop the feel.
In terms of driving, I don't think this technique is difficult, you just need to take it step by step. First, slow down to the minimum speed and climb the ramp, then stop when the side of the car is about 30cm away from the roadside. The key is to align reference points like tree trunks or lamp posts using the windows or mirrors. Make minor adjustments to the steering without large movements, otherwise it's easy to deviate. Common mistakes beginners make are being too hasty or misjudging the reference point, leading to being too far away or scraping the side. Practice more to get familiar with the vehicle's response, and once parked, immediately shift to neutral and engage the handbrake to prevent rolling back. Once you develop the habit, every time you park on a slope will become effortless.
