How to get your car out of a narrow garage?

Who hasn’t arrived at the car park where they left their car only to find they’ve been boxed in? Don’t worry, because we’re going to share a trick that will let you get your car out of hard-to-access spots with no trouble at all.

Over time, cars have grown in size, along with their technological arsenal and safety features. Regardless of this, we must park our cars in areas designated for them. Sometimes this is very difficult, especially because parking spaces tend to be quite narrow and parking requires countless manoeuvres.

How to do the shoulder trick?

The shoulder trick will let you parallel park without dying trying. You’ll be able to leave a narrow parking space without unnecessary manoeuvres and with complete safety. The shoulder trick will tell you exactly when to start turning so you can get out in a single manoeuvre. Don’t believe it?

Use this simple trick when your car is parked in a bay with its front facing the road you’re about to drive on; this is known as reverse parking. The first thing you should do is start moving forward at a very low speed with the steering wheel straight. Once you’ve moved a few centimetres, you need to watch for when the front of the car next to you lines up with your shoulder.

As soon as you see that the front of the car beside you and your shoulder are in line, you can turn the steering wheel fully and accelerate gently. This way, you’ll see how your car leaves the parking space very easily and safely. What’s more, you won’t bump into the cars beside you and won’t need any extra manoeuvres.

It’s just a trick that will make your everyday driving easier.
