How to Parallel Park

First and foremost, safety is the number one priority for you and others depending on the situation that’s been given to you. Above all, make certain the car is out of traffic and on level ground should be the main priority. Once the car and yourself are safe, putting out some hazard markers is courteous to other automobile drivers so they’re mindful of the hazard ahead. Next, the car needs to be prepared to change the tire, so ensure the vehicle is in park if it’s an automatic, or first gear if it’s a standard. Also, set the emergency brake, doing these two things will ensure the car does not roll when lifting the car.

Drivers can practice several safety tips to help them navigate the road more safely. First, use your cell phone for emergency situations only.  Pull over to the right shoulder to make the important call.  Next, limit the number of passengers in the car.  It is a good idea after a football game for a group of teenagers to drive around town texting and driving.  Driving with friends can create a dangerous driving situation because drivers are focused on their friends rather than on the road.  Finally, avoid eating while driving.  Food spills are a major cause of distraction.  Pick up a big Mac and fries on your way home and eat it while you navigate the heavy traffic.  Finding the extra fries in the bottom of the bag will taste good as you rear end the car stopping suddenly in front of you.

Pull off to the right and make sure there is plenty of room left for the Vehicle to go by.

Once the car has come to a complete stop, turn on the emergency lights to notify the other drives that there is an emergency, so they can be aware of the situation. Get out of the car carefully just in case an oncoming driver didn’t notice the emergency lights or if they weren’t paying attention

If something just doesn’t feel right with your vehicle, pull over to the side of the road where it’s safe as soon as you are able to. Don’t wait until your car breaks down in the middle of the road, as this can create an accident. You want to make sure you are safe from oncoming traffic, which will also make your

As of 2013 there are about 2,500 parking spots currently available at the UCMerced parking lot; with the continued growth of students in the school, we need to be able to make sure supply meets demand with the parking spaces. UCMerced's student population is rapidly growing from 13.5 % from Fall of 2015 to 2016 (UCMerced). Due to the high demand the school needs to be able meet the necessary requirements for all these students; one of the biggest problems the school faces is that they aren’t able to meet the student’s transportation needs (The Merced Sun-Star). The lack of spaces causes students and staff to waste time looking for parking causing them to waste time. I plan on making a design on a mobile app to be able to solve this problem.

When students are trying to get to class on time or even slightly early and the parking lot is full, this becomes increasingly more difficult to find a spot. To discover and verify the problems with Crounse’s parking lot, we gathered data from not only the parking lot itself, but the student and faculty body as well. From here we analyzed the data collected and developed viable solutions to the issues at Crounse Hall’s parking area.

Every school day at 7:10 I arrive at Hudson High School's Riverside Parking lot. After taking a left off of Chapin Road I travel in my car three rows back and park on the third left spot in from the left. I park in this spot every day because of one reason I believe we are creatures of habit. This 9-foot slab of pavement has been mine for two school years, and can still recall the day this year when someone decided to take my spot.

The driver needs to know whether the car has understeer or oversteer.  Oversteer is what occurs when a car steers by more than the amount commanded by the driver. On the other hand, understeer is what occurs when a car steers less than the amount commanded by the driver. The best condition to have in a car is oversteer. Oversteer allows the car to have a faster reaction to the drivers steering and allows the driver to take corners faster and with much more ease. Another important thing to learn is whether the car body likes to roll on corners or not. When a car rolls around corner pressure is taken off of the tires and the car will begin to lose traction and slide. If the driver takes a right turn, then the right side of the car will lift off of the ground lose traction and the car will most likely start spinning. The way a driver would counteract rolling is to have a car that has a low center of gravity. The more a car rolls the less control the driver has over it during a

My family and I was visiting the museums there, so I parked and renewed the parking times consistently as much as I could, see attached PDF file.

○ Park in spots that are farther away than usual, so that you walk more. For example, park in a far corner of the parking lot when you go to the office or the grocery store.

Sports utility vehicles take up more room compared to the car. There have been several infamous people with sports utility vehicles who park in the compact parking spaces specifically designed for compact cars. Other notorious sport utility drivers have been spotted taking up two parking spaces. These enormous machines make it difficult for other conventional people to get in and out of their automobiles.

Instead, people walk briskly past your car to distance themselves from the smell of burning oil and the squeaking the tranny makes anytime you shift to park.

It is advisable to choose your tire changing place very carefully. You should drive slowly to the next exit ramp so that you can stay away from main flow of traffic as you change your tire. Sometimes the line separating the traffic from you is not an invisible force field. Sometimes the car is left leaning leaving insufficient room. In this case you will need a level solid surface in order to jack up a car safely.
