The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has launched an educational video on Twitter with the aim of providing practical advice on how to park online safely and effectively.
In this publication, the DGT details seven key steps that drivers can follow to park correctly and avoid situations that could put road safety at risk.
The DGT explains in these 7 simple steps the perfect maneuver to park in line in the best way:
1. The first step emphasizes the importance of signaling the maneuver in advance, highlighting that this not only facilitates traffic circulation, but also reduces the risk of possible accidents or delays on public roads.
2. The second step highlights the importance of aligning the rear seat backrest with the bumper of the parked vehicle, which helps ensure more accurate and efficient parking.
3. The third step involves reversing while turning the steering wheel all the way to the right, a technique that allows the driver to properly position their vehicle for online parking.
4. The fourth step consists of backing up until the driver can see in the rearview mirror the right corner of the bumper of the vehicle parked behind, which indicates that he has reached the appropriate position to continue the maneuver.
5. The fifth requires turning left and continuing to reverse, allowing the driver to complete the line parking maneuver in a smooth and controlled manner.
6. The sixth step suggests shifting forward if necessary to properly center the vehicle within the parking space, ensuring it is properly aligned.
7. Finally, the seventh step indicates the importance of immobilizing the vehicle using the parking brake, ensuring that it remains safe and stable while parked.
