What is the simplest and most accurate method for reverse parking with an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
To reverse the car, turn right and look towards the right rear. When the right rear window pillar just touches the right line of the parking space, start turning the steering wheel fully. Observe the position of the right front door handle at the rear end. When this point is about to touch the corner of the garage, begin correcting, usually by half a turn. When entering the corner of the garage or the extended line of the right side of the garage, observe the front end of the front door handle (focus on the front end, not the rear end). Some people watch for the bottom of the left rearview mirror to just cover the line, while others watch for the middle of the left front door handle to align with the middle of the parking space's bottom line.
