Why is it harder to park next to car on the outside of my turning arc than one on the inside of my turning arc?
In: 2
Because when you are parking next to a car on the OUTSIDE of your arc the “point of danger” is your front end and you need to take into account that the front of your car is changing position during that maneuver. Swinging wide and then coming back in. When an obstruction is on the INSIDE of your arc, the area of concern is the back end of your car which doesn’t draw the same wide arc, it’s just pivoting around a point (your rear wheel). It’s much easier to figure out where that point is, and where it might be at any given time, than the constantly moving front end of the car.
