Parking.....

Oh my god, i actually mount kerb for 3 to 4 times!!! There's a lot to remember. Before i forget, let me list them down

Parallel parking
1. Adjust side mirror to be able to see kerb and back wheel
2. Have your car a distance away, centred on the lane
3. Slowly reverse your vehicle straight till you see on your left side mirror the cement line
4. Once your back wheel is on the cement line, turn your steering wheel all the way to the left.
5. Control your brake!
6. Once you see the edge of the second yellow kerb on the right mirror, turn your steering wheel to the right 2 rounds
7. Keep reversing until your right backwheel is on the parking line from the right side mirror and turn the steering wheel to the right all the way. Turn that wheel Fast!
8. Look out on both sides on the side mirror to avoid hitting the kerb
9. Once your right back wheel is almost hitting the kerb, turn your steering wheel to the left to straighten the vehicle (2 rounds).
10. Engage drive gear, control speed and turn your steering wheel to the left to straighten the car.
11. Reverse your car slightly to be in the middle of the lot
12. You should finish this within 5 mins or fail the test.

To exit
1. Move your vehicle to the front till near the front curb.
2. Engage reverse gear, turn your steering wheel to the left all the way till the front kerb in line with the lane is almost at 10 O clock position of the steering wheel
3. Engage D gear, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and once the kerb in line with the lane is blocked by the lining of the car on the left, turn the steering wheel quickly to the left to straighten the car.

DONE

Phew....

This is what i remember of the class...
