Sequence of steps for parking

[pulsar88]

Sounds basic but need yr opinions...
1) When I reverse into carpark lot, I press foot brake and P then off engine, car rocks fwd n back a bit. Normal? Should I switch gear from R to N first then P?
2) I don't use handbrake when parking cos sometimes forget to release and drive off; only realise when reminder sounds. Do u use handbrake on level ground?

I thought handbrake is for people who want to parallel park very quickly ?

Facepalm.

Regardless level or not, handbrake should be used. The rocking action is caused by bad habit. It should always be N + Hand brake.

Re: Sequence of steps for parking

Wait, what's the whole sequence again including checking of mirrors? Is it the exact same process for parallel parking?

Anyone knows if there's any difference for night time? *stress*
