HowTo...Parallel Park


            
             When you are ready to parallel to park, your car must be running, you must be in it, and your car must be on the correct (right) side of the road. The key to parallel parking is good driving. .
             Now obviously, the object is to park parallel with the roadside. If there are no other cars around, just pull up to the side of the road within six inches with the curb. If there are other parallel-parked cars there, and your spot is right in between two of those cars, then the directions to follow are different. (Obviously, they are different because you can't just pull right in unless you smash into one of those cars. That is neither the correct motive nor the correct intention of parallel parking, usually.) .
             First, pull up next to the car in front of the spot that you want, so that there are twelve inches (no more, no less) between your car and the one next to you. (Make sure that car's front door is lined up with your car's front door.) If the cars are not lined up in this fashion, you will end up sideswiping the other car. So far, parallel parking is not too difficult to do at this point. Unfortunately, it gets a little harder. .
             Once you are lined up, you must turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and then move in reverse, slowly to begin moving into your spot. (It is important that you turn the steering wheel all the way first before moving in reverse. That way you can get right into your space within six inches of the curb, without having to pull out again and try to get closer and closer every time. This is recommended the best way to do it by all kinds of professional drivers; racecar drivers, police, driver instructors, etc.
             Once the front of your car is just past the back of the car in front of you, the back of your car is in the spot and is within six inches of the curb, you must angle your car now, to fit the front of your car in there.
