DAY 77: Stage 3 Practical Lesson 3.07 Vertical Parking

Today lesson is on vertical parking. Here are steps from what I understood:

  1. One you enter the lane, drive close to the centre while line of the lane. I gauge this by making sure the while line is in line with the left side of the cash card machine attached at the bottom right corner of the windscreen
  2. Stop the car, adjust both side mirror so that you can see the rear wheels
  3. Chane to reverse gear
  4. Signal left, check both sides’ blind spot and rear windscreen.
  5. As you reverse, you will notice there is a part of the lane that has a different colour (one side is tar while the other side is cement I think. I think it is put there as an indication). Once the left rear wheel (as seen from left side mirror) almost touches the line, full lock steering left
  6. Check right side and right side for incoming vehicle. Also check rear windscreen and continue reversing
  7. Once car is straightened, quickly return steering to centre. 
  8. Check rear windscreen and continue to reverse until the lane kerb on the left is covered by the left side mirror before stop the car
  9. After the car is stationary, engage neutral gear and handbrake and let instructor know you have completed the parking
  10. Before move off, return side mirrors to previous position.
  11. Engage 1st gear
  12. Check left and right of lane for incoming vehicle
  13. Move car forward until the left lane kerb is about the shoulder of the instructor (⅕ of side window length from behind) before full lock steering wheel to turn
