How do I develop spatial awareness for my car?

[applex]

So I'm learning to drive (finally!), and it's surprisingly fun so far! My biggest problem is that I have a poor sense of where the boundaries of my car are relative to other objects. I'm okay staying within lanes on the road, but when it comes to parking I always end up quite lopsided. I never quite know when to start turning into the parking stall, and when I'm backing out I also get nervous about turning too early and scraping an adjacent car.

Does anyone else have tips for knowing where the front/back/passenger side of the car is in relation to outside objects? Or for getting a better feel of the car's dimensions? Your help is much appreciated!

Keep parking for a time
Now take your time and park patiently and slowly without knocking other cars.

Drive and drive then you'll get used to it. You can fix reverse cameras and parking sensors though.
