Tips for parking your car well

-


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 vehicles is 45 °, or if you prefer, when you see about a third of the sidewalk in your rear windshield. Use all your mirrors to guide you and, above all, close the one facing the road as a precaution when you get out of your car.

Good to know :

If your car is too far from the sidewalk after your niche, you must repeat the whole procedure.

Now that you know the theory to park your car on the cob, battle, and niche, all you have to do is practice! Remember to activate your handbrake at the end of the maneuver. Over time, you will know the dimensions of your vehicle and will be able to park more easily. And if you want to park without effort, the parking aid (sensors, rearview camera) can make your life easier and all your maneuvers.

The key points to remember:
- Know how to be patient and use your mirrors.
- Know the dimensions of your car and have your own benchmarks.
- During a slot, the counter-steering occurs when a third of the sidewalk appears in the rear window.

What are the risks of parking in front of a gate or driveway? Drivers who decide to take the risk of parking in front of a gate or driveway are in violation. Also, in case of control, they will be sanctioned. Indeed, French legislation provides that: "Any stop or parking embarrassing is punishable by the fine provided for the contraventions of the second class. Where the driver or the owner of the vehicle is absent or refuses, in spite of the officers' injunction, to stop the awkward parking

The Future of the $100 Billion Parking Industry

-
From self-driving vehicles to the rate of urbanization to the buzz of the car-sharing economy, it’s easy to surmise the death of parking. Yes, vehicle ownership is down and, yes, as The New York Times reported, the millennial generation values technology over cars. But the death of parking? Not quite. According to a recent analysis by Frost & Sullivan, the $100 billion worldwide parking industry is expected to attract institutional and strategic investments to the tune of $200 million to $250 million over the next three to five years, mostly to spur innovation and smarter parking.  A big reason for this infusion of capital is to remedy the inefficiencies in the ways that we park, per recent findings. So why has the parking industry taken so long to innovate? Until recently, parking and innovation have mixed like water and oil. This is largely due to the slow-changing nature of the two-headed parking industry, which comprises both on-street and off-street parking. On-stre
