Benefits of reverse parking:
- Reverse parking is easier than head first. (Remember, we're suppose to be driving our car as though its a forklift!)
- You can gauge the remaining space just by looking at your LEFT and RIGHT side view mirror.
- When you want to exit, driving head first is much easier.
- Easy for cars that have bad turning radius: Such as van, lorry, pick up truck, 4wd, (EVO's have really awful turning radius!)
- Locate your parking lot. Use the pillar / car as your side view mirror object to gauge the spacings.
- Once you can clearly see the object (pillar for instance), slowly reverse beside it.
- You will usually need to concentrate in 1 side view mirror, but its also better to keep an eye on the other side just incase.
- When you are half way into your parking lot, straight your car by moving forwardl
- Now slowly reverse back straightening your car and position it evenly so that you have ample space for left and right doors to open.
