@ Jayesh - At first I was skeptical but I am always willing to learn so I tried your method and it worked!
Thanks Jayesh for sharing & thanks to your Instructor.

@ Jayesh

Can you point out which is the center marking for Ritz ?

Here is the Dash Picture

View attachment 110886

As I roughly found the Center makings of Ritz which is the portion / area of the Hazard switch itself or surrounding area. Yet to test properly in marked sideline road.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong if any Ritz user already found the spot.

For me Jayesh theory is pretty accurate and helpful to determine the position of Left front wheel. Thanks.

Never keep the side rear-view mirrors folded while driving.
And for parking try parking on reverse using your left side mirror because it gives a clear vision of the footpath and obstacles on the left side.
If u get used to such a practice then you can park at any place where all doubt whether a car can be parked or not.
Good luck.

@Arijitb Dear, in case of if Ritz the inner portion (extreme end) of left wiper touches the left kerb line then you are very near to the kerb. Correct if i am wrong.

I learnt by using left ORVM. Every time I pass something close, I would immediately check on it to see how close it was. Over time, I learnt how close I can get to another car or object.

Whenever I get in a new car, I'll do the same till I get used to it.

Hello Sir,

Long time no words from your side, please share your experince about Mds advance course at Mds thread.

You are absolutely right about your method, But this is another method mentioned by fellow member Jayesh at post number #5 #6 #12 of this thread.

I found his method is very accurate which are as follows,

1. Determine / Find the center marking of the car - every car got one.
2. Aline it with left carb by sitting it in driver seat / position.
3. And Baaam ! Your vehicle left wheel is just parked side of the kerb correctly.

There are some limitation though, this method not worked if,

1. There is no straight line or straight kerb available.
2. If it available but not visible due to obstruction (example - parked car / end of the line).

Never keep the side rear-view mirrors folded while driving.
And for parking try parking on reverse using your left side mirror because it gives a clear vision of the footpath and obstacles on the left side.
If u get used to such a practice then you can park at any place where all doubt whether a car can be parked or not.
Good luck.

And yes, currently I'm learning this method - reversing with left side mirror and observe left footpath and combining both method and result 0% chance of fault.

Nice video found on YouTube.

Tried it in my esteem it works you just to keep it parallel that is it should parallely touch the line.
