Everyone knows that parking on city streets is difficult, and it is extremely common to catch up with the evening, turn around the community for half an hour, and not find a suitable parking space. In desperation, even some irregular open spaces spontaneously formed small parking areas.
Looking at the picture above, the parking space in the community has long been overwhelmed, and such a ramp has become the default parking place. So, when parking on such a ramp, what details should novice drivers pay attention to in order not to hurt the car?
Before stopping, look around the vacant seats and confirm that they are correct before reversing. The reversing process is explained in the previous articles and videos, and will not be repeated here.
One important point to emphasize here is not to ignore the roadside stones that must be passed. It would be nice if it was just a slope, but the picture shows a real right-angled step. If you want to park, the tire must first rush up this stone step.
There are many drivers who directly increase the throttle to hit the tire the steps after returning to the right direction, which hurts the tire more. I generally advise novice drivers to tilt the body slightly as much as possible and not to make the tires hard at ninety degrees perpendicular to the steps.
For example, the steering wheel first to the left or right, let the tire obliquely up the steps, you can give foot oil appropriately, but remember that the rear wheel goes up, immediately move the foot to the brake to slowly step on it, when the rear wheel is close to the center of the car, and then reverse the vertical direction, so that the car will travel to the center of the car.
For novice drivers, the oil action is a bit potentially dangerous, because it is a steep downhill, if you do not collect the oil in time, one foot to the end, it is easy to get out of control and rush all the way to the bottom of the slope.
When giving oil, just enough to slow down, feel the rear wheel over the steps, immediately move your foot to the brake, tap the brake, slow down the speed, so that it is also convenient for follow-up operation.
The rear wheels are taken care of, and then the front wheels are taken care of. Don't forget there are steps below. Because this is not a standard parking space, the default position of the owners is that the front wheel is just against the lower edge of the steps.
I watched the surrounding parking vehicles, many of which were huddled tightly against the steps. This is because the driver sits in the car, can not see the position of the front wheel, and can only stop because the car is hindered and cannot move.
If you reverse fast before, the tires will even be squeezed out of shape by the steps. Over time, the tire will definitely hurt.
I told novice drivers that when you feel that the car can't move, don't directly pull the handbrake and hang up the P gear. You can hang up the forward gear, with the brakes slightly forward, not much, a few centimeters is enough. This allows the front wheels to have a little clearance with the steps and will not wear out the tires.
Also, when you park on this ramp and are ready to leave, be sure to remember to pull the handbrake. If the handbrake is not very easy to use, the manual car can be hung to the first gear to prevent the car from slipping backwards. Of course, before starting the car next time, remember to return the gear lever to its position, otherwise it will sneak around and turn off the fire.
The above content, seemingly inconspicuous small details, but you ignore, more or less will have some impact on the car. If you want to use the car for a long time, less failures, try not to operate brutally, so that you can avoid danger, and it is also a kind of love for your own car.
