Park it Right

It sounds so simple. All you have to do is stop between the lines. You should know the width of your vehicle but do you know the width of the lines? If it’s quite an old car park the lines may be too narrow for today’s cars, so it’s important to be as central as possible unless you’re in the last space on the row. Sometimes parking centrally isn’t possible if there’s a car parked next to you. In this case, you need to allow space for the adjacent car to open its doors or at least make sure it’s not on the driver’s side so that the car can be repositioned to let passengers in. I quite like the spaces that don’t share lines so that issues like these don’t occur. And if you do leave your car in a tight spot, folding up your mirrors can create more room for your neighbouring motorists and decrease the chance of getting a dent in your door.
