Precautions you need to take when parking on a hill

Parking is hassle for a lot of people. In fact, it starts of with actually looking for a spot, then trying your best to maneuver to park at the right available spot. It brings so much unnecessary stress that you might just end up with having to avail of valet services in the end. However, though it might be a shock, there are some people who actually like parking. These people have mastered the art of parking their cars properly and accurately. However, this does not mean they do not have hard times. These hard times come by when they park on a hill. It is a hard task because of the force of the slope. As such, it is important to follow a few precautions to make sure their vehicles are safe.

 

Use a rock or a wood

Have you ever experienced seeing a rock beside the tire of a car and wondering why it’s there? Well, it’s mostly because they are parked on a hill so they put it there for added security to ensure that their cars won’t slide off the hill.

 

Give some distance from other cars

Make sure that there is reasonable distance from other cars even if you parallel park. It’s important to always remember this because it will help you avoid unnecessary accidents involving the cars of other people who did not take necessary precaution in parking their cars on a hill.

 

Use the handbrake

Don’t just depend on your gear stick that is on neutral or park. To be sure that your car doesn’t slide down the slope, keep your handbrake engaged at all times.
