So I installed it to show him, and to get perspective zoomed in on his mum's house to begin with.
And there I was, in the process of pulling up to park and pick him up!
TBH I was more embarrassed about the fact that the roof was up on a day when it wasn't raining.

Just to prove it was an indicator, that both work, AND that I was parking, here is a before and after...

I thought the parking accusation was embarrassing enough for one day.
