Your student will practice uphill, downhill, angle, and perpendicular parking. To practice uphill and downhill parking, it is best to find a residential area with low volumes of traffic with different inclines. Angle and perpendicular parking should be practiced in a parking lot with emphasis on moving into and out of the parking space from both the left-hand and right-hand side of the driveway. Particular emphases should be placed on using reference points for vehicle placement and checking all areas for traffic. 77 Angle Parking Entering Check Intended Path______ Check Traffic Area 6 (rear) __ Signal and Reduce Speed__ Target Path of Travel ______ Use Visual Reference _____ Steering/Speed Control____ Check Areas 2 and 5 _____ (left front and right rear) ____ Position Center of Lane ____ Stopping Position ________ Angle Parking Leaving Traffic Check ___________ Back Slowly ____________ Recheck Traffic _________ Speed Control __________ Steering Control _________ Visual Reference ________ Back to Lane Position 1 ___ Look in Area 6 (rear) Until Stopped ______________ Shift to D, Proceed _______ Perpendicular Parking Entering Check Intended Path______ Check Traffic Area 6(rear) __ Target Path of Travel ______ Move to Position 4 _______ Signal ________________ Use Visual Reference _____ Steering Control _________ Check Areas 2 and 5 _____ (left front and right rear) Speed Control __________ Center of Lane __________ Stopping Position ________ Perpendicular Parking Leaving Traffic Check Areas 4-5-6 __ (left rear, right rear, and rear) Back Slowly ____________ Recheck Traffic _________ Speed Control __________ Visual Reference for Turning Steering Control _________ Back Into Lane Position 1 __ Look in Area 6 (rear) Until __ Stopped ______________ Shift to D, Proceed _______ 78 NOTES _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ 79 Title: Basic Control Prerequisites: 1. Completed BTW Lesson 2 2. Classroom: Module 3 includes managing space, parking, and space areas between vehicles and other hazardous intersections. It also includes reduced- risk parking up and downhill and angle and perpendicular parking. 3. Simulation: “Search and Identify and Anticipate Hazards” and/or “Decide and Act, Backing, Turnabouts and Parking.” Skills to be Practiced: • Uphill parking. • Downhill parking. • Reference points. • Speed control. • Angle parking. • Perpendicular parking. • Space management. BTW Lesson 3 82 1. CHECK INTENDED PATH AND TRAFFIC IN THE RIGHT REAR AND REAR AREAS (5 and 6). 2. SIGNAL, CHECK RIGHT REAR AREA (5). 3. MANEUVER TO THE CURB. USE REFERENCE POINTS FOR 3-6". TARGET LANE POSITION 3. 4. STOP AND SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. 5. RELEASE SLIGHT BRAKE PRESSURE AND TURN WHEELS FULL LEFT WITH A CURB AND RIGHT WITHOUT CURB (let vehicle slowly roll until touching curb). 6. SECURE VEHICLE. 7. WHEN LEAVING, CHECK TRAFFIC, SIGNAL CHECK LEFT REAR AREA (4). 8. VISUALLY TARGET AND MOVE INTO TRAFFIC. Parking Uphill 83 Objective When directed and with minimal assistance, the student will follow proper procedures and park uphill at least twice. Driving Environment • Low-volume residential area. • Hills progressing from slight to steep inclines. • Streets with and without curbs. • Adequate sight distance. • Three to four blocks of space for repeated practice. Common Errors • Not using reference points properly. • Forgets to check right rear and left rear areas (4 and 5). • Improper wheel direction. • Uses dry steering. • Speed too fast while backing. • Fails to shift to neutral. • Not setting brake before shifting. • Aiming at curb/poor targeting. Parking Uphill 84 Parking Downhill 1. CHECK INTENDED PATH AND TRAFFIC IN AREAS 5 AND 6 (right rear and rear) AND TARGET LANE POSITION 3. 2. SIGNAL, CHECK RIGHT REAR AREA (5). 3. USE REFERENCE POINTS FOR 3-6". 4. MOVE TO CURB AND STOP. 5. LET VEHICLE CREEP FORWARD WHILE TURNING WHEELS SHARPLY RIGHT UNTIL TIRE TOUCHES CURB/SHOULDER. 6. SET PARKING BRAKE AND SHIFT TO PARK. 7. WHEN LEAVING, SHIFT TO REVERSE, RELEASE PARK BRAKE, CHECK TRAFFIC, EASE BACK AND STRAIGHTEN WHEELS. 8. SHIFT TO DRIVE, SIGNAL AND CHECK LEFT REAR AREA (4). 9. VISUALLY TARGET AND MOVE INTO TRAFFIC. 87 Objective When directed and with minimal assistance, the student will demonstrate proper procedures while entering angle park- ing twice to the right and twice to the left. Driving Environment • Any off-street marked parking areas. • Spaces for parking left and right. • Angle parking spaces in complex urban traffic areas. Common Errors • Failure to signal. • Not moving to lane position 2. • Speed too fast. • Tires strike the curb/bumper over line. • Not using reference points. • Not checking left front and right rear areas (2 through 5). • Poor targeting. • Not securing vehicle correctly. Angle Parking—Entering 88 Angle Parking—Leaving 1. CHECK TRAFFIC IN LEFT REAR, RIGHT REAR, AND REAR AREAS (4-5-6). 2. SHIFT TO REVERSE, BACK SLOWLY. 3. RECHECK TRAFFIC. 4. USE REFERENCE POINTS TO DETERMINE WHEN TO STEER (bumpers even). 5. BACK INTO LANE POSITION 1. 6. CHECK AREAS AROUND VEHICLE. 7. CONTINUE LOOKING IN REAR AREA (6) UNTIL STOPPED. 8. SHIFT TO DRIVE, MOVE FORWARD. 89 Angle Parking—Leaving Objective When directed and with minimal assistance, the student will demonstrate proper procedures while leaving angle parking twice to the right and twice to the left. Driving Environment • Any off-street marked parking areas. • Spaces for parking left and right. • Parking spaces in a complex urban traffic areas. Common Errors • Not checking left front and right rear areas (2 through 5). • Not looking in rear area (6) while backing. • Speed too fast. • Steering errors. • Not using reference points. • Only using mirrors while backing. 92 1. TRAFFIC CHECK IN LEFT REAR, RIGHT REAR, AND REAR AREAS (4-5-6). 2. SHIFT TO REVERSE, BACK SLOWLY. 3. RECHECK TRAFFIC. 4. USE VISUAL REFERENCE FOR TURNING (bumpers even). 5. BACK INTO LANE POSITION 1 WHILE CHECKING AREAS. 6. CHECK REAR AREA (6) UNTIL STOPPED. 7. SHIFT TO DRIVE, MOVE FORWARD. Perpendicular Parking—Leaving 93 Perpendicular Parking—Leaving Objective When directed and with minimal assistance, the student will demonstrate proper procedures at least twice while leaving perpendicular parking spaces both to the right and left. Driving Environment • Off-street areas where perpendicular parking spaces are available and marked. • Spaces for parking left and right. Common Errors • Not steering sharply enough. • Not checking front and rear areas. • Failure to use reference points for space management. • Not checking areas for traffic and other vehicles. • Speed too fast. • Not looking behind while backing or until stopped. 94 NOTES _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________
