Some tips for parking your car on the cob or in battle and in a niche

Whether you have had your license for the first time or the tenth time, you are supposed to know how to park your car. You are far from being the king or queen of parking despite your impeccable niche on the day of the race?

These tips will help you to park in any way on the street, in a parking lot or in your garage.

Parking on the cob, what is it?

Parking on the cob is to park one's car on a square, usually bounded by white lines, which is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the road. It is an oblique parking lot, very common in agglomerations, whose angle can vary from 45 to 75 °.

Tips for parking your car on the run

Parking the car on the cob usually does not cause any major difficulty, especially since this maneuver is almost always in the forward direction. When your front bumper reaches the height of free space, point your steering wheel to the right and slowly insert. Check your right exterior mirror to avoid a collision with the car on the right, without losing sight of your left headlight so as not to hit the car on the left.

If you have not parked in the middle of the square, no problem: back half of your car and make the necessary adjustment.

Good to know :

To park on the cob in reverse, begin to steer when the rear of your car reaches the height of the lights of the last vehicle.
