Parking is hard. For some people, it’s no problem but there’s a reason why so many people fail their parallel parking test. Judging the distance between your car and everything else can be tricky. Thankfully there’s the Park Right Dual Garage Laser Parking Sensor to help you ease your car into your garage at least.
It won’t help you with your universal parking issues but this simple system will ensure you don’t mess up your front end when pulling into your garage. This device shines a laser that helps you guide your car into the port and shows you were to stop.
This is a good device for families that have new drivers who aren’t used to pulling into the garage yet. This way they can follow the light on their dashboard until they get used to the size of the car. The motion sensor will sense the car as they pull into the garage and the laser will come on at that point. The whole thing is battery powered and easy to install. The Park Right Dual Garage Laser Parking Sensor is $27.99.
My father-in-law suspended a bag of sand on a string such that it intersected the windshield directly in front of the driver when the car was perfectly parked. Total cost about 25¢ and it didn’t need batteries.
Wordless Workshop had one many years ago using a suspended golf ball. With the string passing through a few small screw eyes (above the windshield, on ceiling near wall, and on wall at convenient height) it was simple to adjust to an exact parking spot location
