Therefore, we should remember some advices about such important procedure for Istanbul as parking.
Advice №1: get used to the car
You certainly won’t take your car to Istanbul. Tourists, as a rule, hire cars (in Turkey this is not a problem - rent a car service is cheap and quickly). This is good, and this is... bad. The matter is that on the parking of any Istanbul hotel it is better to park the car to which you have got used. Parking - especially in close conditions of Istanbul roads - passes better when you feel car"s sizes or the car itself well, as drivers say. Therefore, to park the car correctly, try to get used to it.
Advice №2: pay attention to the drive gear
All wheel-drive cars have the biggest turn radius, and the rear-wheel drive cars have the smallest. As you understand, this is the key point of the parking.
Advice №3: practice.
You may be a really skilled driver, but, anyway, it would not be desirable to pay for scratches on the hired car. That is why it will be better if you spend an hour or two practicing in parking. You will not need much for this. Skilled instructors will advise you the following. To train the parking elements the same as maneuver "driving into the garage" is practiced, for example. Practice until you develop the absolute automatism of actions. Train parking in forward and back run, in parallel, perpendicularly and at an angle to the curb.
Advice №4: do not forget about headlights
Another advice from the skilled drivers - use headlights while parking the car. At the forward parking blink the upper beam at the critical for you line. The size of the beam of light on the obstacle and its brightness the same as any parking radar will help you to define the distance to the granite curb or to the next car bumper. While making the back parking use for the same purpose the stoplights, light from the lantern or a shadow from an obstacle.
Advice №5: look around
Istanbul is a great city, but you do not know it yet. Therefore, you will have to park in the unfamiliar places. In such cases, before parking, thoroughly examine the place of your future parking and the entrance to it.
Advice №6
Parking your car on the roadside - fold your mirrors and take along everything valuable. Well, and if you do not wish to burden yourselves in Istanbul even with parking - just stop at a hotel with parking. In that case - be sure - your car will be parked by the hotel employee. And they will do that quickly and professionally.
