For this typeof park, the minimum space between you and the parked vehicles, as you approach your parkingspace, should be about two metres.Angle parkingAngle parking - right sideRight side angle parking will only apply to parking lots and designated spaces on the right side of a street.Spaces may angle from 30 to 60 degrees to the traffic lane.• Watch for vehicles backing out of nearby angle parking spaces.• Make necessary lane changes safely and signal right when approaching the space.• Keep a distance of about one and one-half metres away from the rear of the parked vehicle(s) onthe right.• Approach the space slowly and check the blind spot over the right shoulder.• Begin steering hand-over-hand to the right when the length of the left side of the parked vehicle tothe right is visible.• Move at a safe and controlled speed. Check the left front to be sure there is enough space from thevehicle parked on the left.• Pay attention to the right side to clear the parked vehicle on the right.• Continue moving slowly into the parking space, straightening the front wheels so that the vehicle iscentred and midway between the painted lines. If there are no painted lines, position the vehicle anequal distance from the other vehicles.• Remember to use proper visual technique. Keep the chin down and look for a focal point well aheadin the centre of the parking space.42
