    This document provides instructions for perpendicular parking by reversing into a parking space. It outlines 7 steps to approach the space at an angle, lock the wheel in different directions to maneuver the car into position 1, and then reverse while adjusting the wheel into the parking space. An alternative method is also described where the driver passes the empty space, turns left while stopping at the right position based on side mirrors, then reverses into the space while turning right and checking mirrors to straighten into the lines.

    Perpendicular Parking (Reverse)

    Again, you want to park your car (A) in the open slot. Now however, you want to reverse in. Easiest way? As
    follows:
    1) Approach as pictured (i.e along the side you want to reverse into)
    2) Stop when your shoulder is in line with the center of the slot you want to reverse into (as shown by the
    green line)
    3) Completely lock the wheel.
    4) Move the car to position 1.
    5) Now lock the wheel in the opposite direction.
    6) Reverse the car into the slot (adjust the wheel as you do so) and straighten.
    7) Success!
    In illustration 1, you have to make several attempts reversing and forwarding before you can park in the lot. While in
    the illustration 2, you can park into the lot with only one time reversing. Steps below shows you how:

    Step 1, to drive beyond the emtpy lot preparing reverse parking, first drive near
    to car beside. Once the corner of your car passes the corner of that car, turn your
    steering to left.

    While turning the steering to left, look at your left & right side mirror. When your
    car is at the location where the left side mirror shows the right corner of the left
    car and the right mirror shows the left corner of the right car, stop forwarding.

    Now change your gear to (R)everse gear. While reversing, start turning the
    steering to right and once again, looking at both left and right side mirror to
    make sure you are in the correct position, not scratching your car and the cars
    beside. Straighten the steering once the car is in-line with the cars beside.

    To make sure you dont go beyond the line, dont wait for the reverse signal to
    beep. Instead notice your car front and make an estimation or/and look at the
    car parked at the side. One thing I hate are those small kancil or kelisa park til so
    deep inside that from far it looks like there is an empty lot in front. But when you
    reach the lot, you will start reading out sutra! Making an estimation using the car
    front is easy and it wont go beyond the line behind because a car park lot is
    designed so that it can fit in any kind of general car. Of coz if you are driving a
    lorry or an Estima, it might be different!
