Answer: Check below

Step-by-step explanation:

To use a reference point when entering a perpendicular parking space, you need to identify a fixed object near the parking spot, such as a parked car or a line on the ground. Then, as you approach the spot, align your vehicle so that the reference point is in line with the center of your car's hood. Slowly pull forward until your car is even with the reference point, then turn your steering wheel all the way in the direction of the parking space. Continue pulling forward until your car is parallel with the cars parked on either side of the space.
