Parallel parking is very important however a lot of people cannot do this simple task in our country and even tough we manage to get the license in our country due to lack of laws implementation however when we go abroad and try to get a local license our people mostly fail the test due to parallel parking.
So here are a few simple steps to help parallel park:
- Pull up even to the front car. If your cars are different lengths, line up the back of your car with the back of the front car as best you can. You don't have to be exact here.
- Stop.
- While stopped, turn your wheel all the way towards the direction of parking. ALL THE WAY. Don't move forward or back while doing this!
- Turn around and look out the back of your car.
- Begin backing up. Your car should start turning into the spot. Don't turn your wheel away from the all-the-way position.
- Stop backing up when the inner front corner of the rear car is in the exact middle of your rear windshield. If you imagine a line extending backwards from your car along its center-line, you stop when the inner-front corner of the rear car reaches that line.
- While stopped, turn your wheel back to the middle position.
- Back up slowly until your car just barely clears the front car, then stop again.
- Turn your wheel all the way to the outside direction. All the way! Stay stopped while you do this.
- Now keep backing in. Don't turn your wheel away from the all-the-way position!
- Once your car is parallel, STOP and then turn your wheel to face forwards again.
If you do these steps exactly, your car will magically place itself into the correct position and it'll look something like this:-
You can also take help from the door mirrors by adjusting the inner mirror to the lowest most position to help you gauge the distance from the footpath etc. however if the steps above are followed exactly then there's no reason you cannot parallel park.
