The idea is that your car’s geometry doesn’t change so you ought to be able to come up with a routine that puts you in exactly the right place relative to the kerb and the car in front just by turning full lock at very specific points relative to each of them.
What I didn’t learn is how to figure out those points are for a car that wasn’t the instructors.

The point was to teach you how it works on one car so you can work out how it works on other cars.
