Practice parking afterwards?

Question

Hello, I have a problem that's really bothering me. I was at the mall with my girlfriend on Saturday, and as you can imagine, there were hardly any parking spaces available and the parking garage was pretty cramped. I was embarrassed just parking; it took me at least seven moves to even get the car straight into the space. Leaving was just as embarrassing.

In general, I have a lot of trouble parking properly in everyday life, so I always look for parking spaces that are far out (where no one is parked).

Everything always worked out in driving school. I also had every parking assistant there (camera, etc.).

Is there any way to practice this? And what's the best way to do it?

Reverse parking/reversing
Parking/exiting forward
park/exit sideways

Yeah.

Take a trip to the next parking lot. For example on weekends to the discounter or shopping center and "trulessly" park.

Good Morning! That's the annoying issue with assistance systems in modern vehicles. They can certainly seem simplistic. But if you have a car/vehicle that doesn't have these systems, things get complicated. You can definitely practice all of this again. There are various "formulas" for it. It's best to just look it up online, please. Parking to the right (between vehicles - long way) Parallel - Position approximately 50 cm next to the car in front of the gap. Make sure the rear is at the same height. Turn the steering wheel completely to the right once Reverse until the B-pillar (where the seat belt is attached) of your car is in line with the tail light of the parked car and then stop Turn the steering wheel to the left until it stops Drive into the gap Straighten the steering wheel and correct the position.  Source: Reverse parking (mein-autolexikon.de) You can also pick up many other good, helpful tips and definitely apply them. I would always recommend reading them. When trying, please consider the following questions: ➡️ Do I dare to take this gap directly? ➡️ Shouldn't I take a gap that is larger (to start with)? ➡️ Do I need to hire a safety instructor for the first "real time"? It's not rocket science. Just give it a try – maybe even with a friend who can act as a safety guide and shout STOP if something goes wrong.

Same parking, on weekends, if full 🤔

Hello! Of course you can practice this - find the idea great! I'd go to an industrial area for this weekend, where you're usually alone! Then choose a parking lot with marked edges to park forwards and backwards, so you can see where you are in the parking space! Then let passengers get out to watch and practice - until you get in without any problems and get out again. Then maybe look for a parking bay where you have to go in and practice! You can also take a few woods or rods that are designed and thus cut off a very small parking lot. Go! Mainly, you don't break or damage strange cars. Good luck. Greet

You're doing it by just doing it do you think? ! With time, you gain experiences when you need to look where, which angle does not work and so on. If you don't want to practice with passengers, you'll just drive to a shopping mall on Saturday morning and find challenging parking spaces.
