Switch
on the left turn signal 3 seconds or 1 light pole span before pulling over.
If
you are not in the leftmost lane yet, change to it:
Look: in the centre mirror – in the
left side mirror – over the left shoulder out the side windows (blind spot)
for cars approaching from behind in the leftmost lane.
However, if you are changing to the
leftmost lane immediately in front of a parked car, you need only to
glance over the left shoulder out the side windows (blind spot).
When clear:
Right foot over the brake pedal.
Look ahead. Change to the leftmost
lane.
Slow
down and slowly pull over to the left kerb at about 20 degrees until you
cannot see the kerb under the hood. Continue creeping, and at the moment when
you see an imaginary line of the kerb has crossed the left sprinkler on the
hood, start steering right.
Brake
to slightly above stalling speed. Looking in the left side mirror and slowly
steering right creep until the car is parallel and within 40 cm to the kerb
(30 cm in Australian Capital Territory and South Australia).
If
you are parking behind another car, stop when you can see only where its rear
wheels touch the road (within 1-2 m).
Press
the brake pedal firmly.
Switch
off the turn signal.
Apply
the hand brake.
Shift
transmission to Park.
Take
the right foot off the brake pedal.
Parking uphill, turn the steering wheel fully to the right (away from the
nearest kerb); parking downhill, turn the steering wheel fully to the left
(towards the nearest kerb).
If
you are leaving the car, make sure to close all windows and switch off
lights.
Switch
off the engine.
If
you are leaving the car:
Unbuckle the seat belt.
Ensure you do not hit anyone by
opening the door.
Remove the car key and lock the
car.
