A process that some people find extremely difficult, but it needn't be.
Using this very simple yet effective method makes the whole process very smooth, easy to achieve, and accurate.
Whilst carrying this out with very slow speed, it will allow the driver to carry out effective observations throughout and keep the surrounding area safe.
Although this process is extremely effective and accurate, it does cause what is know as "DRY STEERING"
Dry steering happens when the steering wheel is turned when the wheels are NOT rotating.
If you imagine a pencil with a rubber on the end of it. If you turned the pencil upside down and placed it on a sheet of sandpaper and rotated the pencil, what would happen to the rubber?
Yep, over time it will wear out the rubber !
Well, this is the same thing that can happen with Dry Steering.
Imagine your tyres as pencil rubber and the road as sandpaper. Given time, you will cause more erosion of your tyres.
And in an extreme scenario, let's say you actually managed to stop the car with the tyres in the exact same place on the surface of the road when you came to a stop and carried out dry steering, you would given time, create a "Flat Spot" on the tyre. This can make the drive quite uncomfortable and obviously give you a thinner section of tyre compared to the rest of it.
So, both methods regarding bay parking forwards and in reverse stopping first and dry steering are designed mainly for learners who are having trouble understanding the process of bay parking but is a process that will allow them to carry it out confidently and accurately. Given time and becoming more confident and comfortable with the vehicle's controls your methods will adapt so that you will steer at the same time that the wheels are rotating to avoid causing any untimely wear and tear to your tyres.
