ABSTRACT:
A parking aid in the form of a vehicle position indicator and parking method that includes an alerting mechanism that deploys when a portion of the vehicle contacts a deployment mechanism positioned in a predetermined location to alert the driver that the desired position has been achieved. The vehicle position indicator includes a weighted base assembly, a deployment bellows assembly in connection with the weighted base assembly, and an inflatable recoil tube in air flow communication with the deployment bellows assembly and supported on the weighted base. The deployment bellows assembly has an air volume equal to the air volume of the inflatable recoil tube such that when the deployment bellows is fully compressed, the inflatable recoil tube is fully inflated.
