So in the picture you see my driver side rearview mirror. Did you notice in the mirror the parking lines? So how does one know that one is within the parking lines, from the front of the vehicle to the back of the vehicle?
Well, what I do is look in the mirror align my black door handle to the end of the line within the mirror. Do you see it?
When the black door handle is somewhat close to the end of the parking line on the left side of vehicle, that tell me I am within the two lines of parking from the front to the back.
Also look at the front of the parking space. There is a curb that the vehicle can run up to, but we don't want to run up to it, better to save the alignment of the vehicle.
Now notice that as the driver side mirror is in alignment with the curb. So when the mirror on the driver side aligns with the curb you know the vehicle is within the lines of the parking according to the front.
Here are some pictures for that.
See how the using the driver side mirror for aligning mirror itself with the curb? It keeps the vehicle within the parking space lines in the front.
And if you notice this picture, the vehicle is within the parking lines for the back of the vehicle.
So it is good to double check your parking within these parameters.
Now sometimes I notice that people making a right hand turn, but they don't go forward cause there is a car that plans on going straight ahead, but somehow they don't think that can make that turn.
Of course to make that turn you have to imagine the space your vehicle takes and if there is room between that car going straight head and the space it takes for your vehicle to make that right hand turn.
Well, with the rear mirror on the passenger side, I look for how close I am to the curb, and I get as close to the curb as I can, and if I see the space, I put my vehicle between the other vehicle and the curb and I make that turn, where some that don't know the space between the car on the right and the space to the curb.
So we must know where we are in space and how we align with the space that we drive and park in.
Let's end with a scripture, as it is written, with Jesus speaking, The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8.
