However, my friends have told me that they think it's much easier to park with cars on either side. I don't agree with them (mainly because I am scared that I will hit a car while reversing), but I do wonder if that is the case for most drivers. Is it true that it is easier to park with cars around and if so, what are some tips in doing it properly? 😓 Well... It can be quite easy to park when there is car beside you if that car is not too big as you can make reference from it. If that adjacent vehicle is too long and protruding that you have to have more buffer space and but sometimes space may be tight and you may not go in easily.

DOBIEMKZ Turbocharged August 3, 2021 Share August 3, 2021 Last time my driving instructor taught me that if I reversed and hit onto other parked vehicles and if nobody noticed then quickly drive away. Nowadays cannot do that because cameras are everywhere. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Mitsubishi hit onto the parked BMW?? Seemed a close shave but I don't see the BMW shaking or vibrating. Might be there still a 3mm gap...

You decide which is easier, which is harder. I prefer to park where there are no cars to avoid dings. The only times when I might need a bit of adjustment are when the lines are worn and difficult to see, but no biggie. Cue @RadXwith his cone-h jokes. Eh, let me do the diss-honours, I think every lot should have cones I can hit. 😂 We know why u park far far IMG_2965.MP4 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic August 3, 2021 Share August 3, 2021 So people don't know how to park will park next to you and maybe hit you because they don't know how to park. People that know how to park will park far away in empty lot and became they know how to park will never hit you. Why like that? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkl22 Twincharged August 3, 2021 Share August 3, 2021 (edited) i would like to rant again. those who need a car beside them to park, cannot park for nuts.
