The Car Goes Where You Look

Give yourself the gift of being able to zip your car into any space, any parking lot, forward, backward, sideways, whatever! With no stress, super easy and safe each and every time. Even with your friends filled inside your car, plus a crowd on the sidewalk watching you expertly place the car right in parallel perfectly!

Parking is one of the top three challenges for new drivers. And while there are tons of formulas, tricks, and “easy” solutions, let’s be real: like driving itself, parking takes skill and practice.

The biggest key to parking? It’s all about learning to back up. Yep, reversing.

If you’re finding it tough, chances are it’s because you can’t see where you’re going. And yes, it is hard to maneuver when you can’t see! So the fix is simple: you need to make sure you can see.

Imagine trying to drive forward while only looking out the back window—pretty wild and incredibly risky, right? But that’s how some people approach reversing, and it makes steering a challenge. To make reversing easier, just turn and look directly in the direction you’re going. Check the reverse camera for more information but don’t stare into it. When you’re moving backwards, focus on steering the rear of the car exactly where you want it.

So forget shortcuts, and focus on getting the best view possible. Turn around, get up a bit if you need to, and really pay attention to the rear of the car. Yes, it feels strange at first, and yes, it’s not at all like driving forward. But once you get used to it, you’ll be able to park with confidence.

Can’t see clearly? Get out and take a look. Learn what the view outside looks like from the driver’s seat. If you’re nervous about hidden obstacles, tap the horn or check that your lights are on and visible to others. Still unsure? Step out and look again.

Reversing and parking are tricky because rear visibility can be limited. So here’s the rule to remember: if you can’t see, don’t go!

Stay cautious, make sure you can see, and soon enough, parking will be just another part of your driving skill set.

Your Eyes are the Key Here. Your Must Fight To See!
Backing Up a Car is NOTHING like Driving Forward!
