Sometimes I park my (manual) car and find that while I’m well aligned , I’m either too far into the spot (don’t always want to bait someone with my smol car) or not far in enough.

Assuming I’m on level ground (ie in a multi storey carpark), is it OK to put my car into neutral, let down the handbrake and push it a little? As opposed to firing up the ignition and driving it 50 centimeres?

    Won’t harm the car, just keep in mind if it starts to roll faster and you want to hop on and hit the brakes they will be unassisted by vacuum and will be tougher.

    I do it all the time when I’ve backed up too close to my wall and have to get in the boot.
