  • Publication number: 20010039912
    Abstract: A novel method for aiding a person in parking a vehicle within a desired parking area is described. In certain aspects, the invention comprises securing a reflective device, such as a mirror, to a stationary structure, such as a garage wall, for example. The reflective device has a reference point positioned on the device's reflective surface. The driver moves the vehicle within the desired parking area until the driver views the reflection of a pre-selected feature of the vehicle in alignment with the reference point of the reflective device. Once this alignment is viewed, the vehicle is stopped and thus, parked in a desired position within the parking area.
