Her latest advice, demonstrated on an automatic car, starts simply enough: “1. Apply the brakes. 2. Start the car. 3. Shift to D position (if you’re driving an automatic). 4. Release the handbrake. 5. Step on the accelerator.”
Seemingly elementary, yet what she reveals next is a nifty tactic for sliding out of parking spots without a scratch. Waiting until your passenger door aligns with the adjacent car – then you can turn left or right collision-free.
Her clear and clever guidance has raced up over 2,000 likes and revved up dialogue among users.
One commenter advised: “Break and clutch, make sure the car is in first gear, lift the clutch up slowly.”
Another detailed their own learned steps: “I was taught we need to do: Break > Start > Neutral > Release handbrake > Change to D and then go.”
