Perpendicular Parking

Sure it was not my first time to perpendicular park my car today, but day marked my first perpendicular parking bump. Having found my parking place taken, I scanned the sidewalks quickly with my eyes for an empty space without success. Upon a deeper look, I found a single perpendicular slot empty not far away. It was a bit narrow but thanks to the small size of the i10 I was able to delve into it very slowly and smoothly. Yet it seems I just went forward too much that I hit the pavement with the bottom tip of the car front. I heard its sound scratching against the pavement. I backed a little and everything was okay. I came out of the car to have a look and no real damage took place, I guess.

Let me take this as one additional learning lesson: Never move forward too much when parking perpendicular to the pavement, specially when the pavement is high enough to scratch against the front of your car.
