Welcome to the Cliff Merrill School of Parking

We note that on Wednesday, March 30 of 2011, Cliff trundled into the Intel parking lot bright and early and parked his pickup truck. The result was near disastrous, as shown in the photo below (Cliff’s vehicle is the red truck on the left).

After reviewing this photo with our forensic team, it was postulated that Cliff likely arrived first, followed by the tan car on the right, who wisely gave Cliff’s vehicle wide berth. The blue minivan driver was late to work and in a rush, which explains the desperation that surely influenced his reluctant acceptance of this parking space.

In order to improve the results in the future, the Cliff Merrill School of Parking now presents these invaluable parking tips.

If no cars on either side:

Just pull in. However, you'll notice that the front of the car may go over the line about midway into the space and then come back in as you continue. A common error is attempting the turn too soon.

If there are cars on either side

1.     Be very careful that the front of your car does not scrape the other car.

2.       When driving down the row and you spot the open space, pull up almost behind one of the vehicles. As if you are pulling into their spot. For instance in the picture, making a right into the parking space. Pull up behind the car on the left

3.     Turn your wheels to the left, and back up - being careful about cars parked behind you.

4.     This should position you so that you just turn your wheels back to the right, and pull straight into the spot.
