Parking in front of a gate or driveway

Image
Although this practice is particularly prevalent in large cities,  parking the vehicle in front of a gate or in front of a driveway is an offense. Drivers who might be tempted by the facility risk a 2nd class parking ticket for inconvenient parking. This is motivated by the fact that the position of the vehicle hinders the movement of other users. Moreover, even if it can be tolerated, parking in front of the gate or the driveway of his home is also an offense that can be punished.

Differences between stopping and parking

Image
What is the judgment? A stop is a momentary immobilization of the vehicle on the roadway. For the vehicle to be considered stopped, its driver must be in or near the vehicle. The reason for stopping may be: the ascent or descent of passengers, the loading or unloading of the vehicle, or any other reason, but always for a short time. What is parking? Parking is usually longer than stopping. The vehicle engine is off and the driver does not always stay close. A stationary or stationary vehicle must neither obstruct traffic nor represent a dangerous obstacle. It is forbidden to stop by car or to park on the sidewalk unless specifically marked on the ground.

Tips for parking your car well

Niche parking, what is it? The niche is the most feared of all types of parking and haunting a large number of city dwellers. It is essential when  you have to park in a space between two cars parked parallel to the roadway. To succeed in your niche, you must first arm yourself with a good dose of composure, have your bearings and ignore the driver who is impatient behind you. If any of these ingredients are missing, it is a failure and you will prefer to go around in circles for an hour or park in battle at the exit of the city. After activating your turn signal, make sure that the vehicle behind you does not stop you from realizing your niche. Reverse and back slowly in a straight line. When your rear wheels reach the rear bumper of the vehicle on your right, steer your wheels at 45 ° while continuing slowly backward. Counter-steering is the key step of the niche. It should start when the angle formed by your car and other veh...

Tips for parking your car in battle

Parking in battle, what is it? Parking in battle consists of  parking on a square perpendicular to the road, at 90 °.  You usually park at the supermarket, in an underground car park or in your garage. First important tip: go backward.  Parking in reverse is easy to do and you will have excellent visibility when you leave.  In addition, this type of place is almost always in places where other vehicles move slowly. So you have time to park quietly and perform a corrective maneuver if necessary.

Good to know : The visibility on the left is not optimal when you park in the battle, do not hesitate to make a smal...

Leave a parking lot almost blocked with an unusual manoeuvre

This time I focus on the genius of conduct @ r, which has given the mill in such a way, that it has left everyone with their mouths open or almost, thanks to a lavish manoeuvre. And as always, I don't exaggerate a bit.  In the video, you can see a large car trying to leave a parking space , almost blocked by other tourism, an operation that at first sight seems completely impossible.  Well, no!!! This escapism teacher, who might well be an outstanding student of Harry Houdini, manages to, so that in a little less than a rooster sings, emerge victories from the challenge. And the most incredible thing is that it does not touch the rest of the vehicles parked in the place. Take it now. That's how my eyes look after seeing how this hybrid spends them between Fernando Alonso and Carlos Saenz.  P.S. And as the thing is about parking , I leave other manoeuvres worthy of being included in the driving record. I have seen unfortunate attempts at parking, “trium...
