I don't recognise the name, but yesterday I did watch a video of a woman
parking a car by a lake in California and thought very much the same.

I can only park a car properly if it has a trunk....estate cars and
hatchbacks are always a problem....

I much prefer parking and manouvering vans, the rear corners are
visible in the mirrors. My car has a letter box slot view out via the
interior mirror and due to the curve of the sides, I cannot see
anything to help judge where my tail is. Luckily, it has parking
sensors and a reversing camera.

A rear view camera makes reversing into a space very easy, especially
the ones that overlay your projected path onto the image.

Odddly enough, having used wings for years, I actually find the camera

It's a "drive through" parking space

My car has self drive parallel and perpendicular parking. The parallel parking is a real boon as I can watch for oncoming traffic in the mirrors without straining my neck but in the 2+ years Ive had it I still have not used the perpendicular parking being much more comfortable with using the door mirrors to position and the rear radar for distance.

I do notice the problem when parking front
in in a carpark but other than that its no problem.

The best cars should have a camera at each corner
and show you the one with the the least clearance auto.

The Golf allegedly helps you reverse with a trailer
with the reversing camera and plenty auto park now.

car park the first think I would have said to Lou is

"A woman parked that car"


I don't recognise the name, but yesterday I did watch a video of a
woman parking a car by a lake in California and thought very much
the same.

I can only park a car properly if it has a trunk....
estate cars and hatchbacks are always a problem....

Weird, I have never had a problem. Can you even see
the back of the car with a normal sedan when backing ?

problem is I make allowances for a boot on the end of the estate or
hatchback.therefor leave too much space....

OK, that makes sense, but why does that stop you backing successfully ?



modern cars are too round shaped you can't see the externalities...I
liked your own personal sea of sheet metal at the front and a nice
square boot at the rear......


like these cars.....

A rear view camera makes reversing into a space very easy, especially
the ones that overlay your projected path onto the image.

Odddly enough, having used wings for years, I actually find the camera
not really any better, Perhaps its easier for noobs.


It's easier for those of us who are getting stiff.

I use a 500kg van quite a lot these days, as you get used to parking
entirely with mirrors it does help with that problem. I used to be very
cautious parking the 3.5 tonner (which does have a camera) but I'm
turning into quite a white van man with it.
