DRIVERS have been left stunned after realising car door handles can be used for so much more than you think.

You should look to align your handle in the lower right corner of your left rear view mirror and the opposite corner for the right mirror. This will give you the best possible view of what’s behind you and keep your eyes super focused on your surrondings. The second feature is something a lot of people would find super useful as it involves parallel parking.
When you see the driver’s side door handle is in line with the curb you should turn your steering wheel round and smoothly back into the parking space no matter how tricky the mannouver might look. Tip three is a great one for those with slightly larger cars at the front. When you are driving up to a parked car in front of you stare at the door handle for as long as possible while edging forwards.
Sharply hit the brakes the moment the handle becomes hidden by your front bonnet and you should find you’re about 10cm away from the car in front.
