Flawless Parallel Parking (Everyday Advice)

[@NancyDrewCorner]

That's an extremely generous space they've got there.

[@pinpon163]

Anastasia Utke where I live, the spots are just enough to fit the car.

[@zeekepultura]

same observation hahaha

[@darksoulc2816]

Anastasia Utke exactly it’s a big space.

[@SchwickFAFO]

Lol I was thinking the same thing

[@bash8822]

When i tried doing this for the first time i went o. The curb and hit the gas in reverse and hit a i was like fuck my car nooo but thankfully notjing happened

[@shadowsruss5748]

Just a suggestion - have one person explain it in the car - not 10 people, in the car, on a board, etc.

Happy 12 year anniversary of my favorite parallel parking video ever, which I watch everyday. God Bless.

[@sasayaki]

I haven't had to parallel park in a long time. When I first got my license I was always nervous about it because where I grew up people seemed to always park on the street with barely a car's length between them. If you managed to get in without hitting anyone, you were lucky if you had a foot of space to play with. Which made getting out even more nerve wracking with anything besides a compact car.

[@saldibian957]

easiest way to do this, is get side by side with the park. Stop, look behind you, (blind spots), turn the wheel 1 TURN, begin reversing, once the symbol of their car is in the middle of your passenger windown, STOP, turn the wheel all the way to to the left, and reverse. EASY!

[@chaoticdrifter]

I've had my license for about 4 years now (incident free) and I can say this is terrible advice. Pause at 2:02, had you done this on the road test you would have failed. My advice, drive along side the car you're trying to park behind. Match your right mirror with their left mirror ( or vise versa). While still being there, turn your steering around one full rotation but not all the way, that way you don't swing too wide and potentially hit the curb. While reversing, wait till your mirror is aligned with their back taillight then turn the opposite way, one full rotation. You'll avoid the unnecessary risk of hitting the curb, plus you'll also seem like a pro doing so. Good luck to all.

[@TheTruemouse]

Little tip if you're parking in the main street in front of shops. Storefront windows give a brilliant reflection of your car and the cars behind and in front of you. You can use this to park in even tighter spaces to judge the distance you have to spare. You can usually gets within inches of either vehicle.

What do you mean by failed it? Do you mean you just didn't park correctly or did you bump into curb/cones? I have to take my test in a week, and I know the parallel parking is gonna screw me up.

This video would have been much more helpful if it showed one example all the way through and did not jump from the blonde lady in the car, to the guy using the whiteboard and back and forth. Seeing one full, fluid example would have been much better.

[@mausib]

Once your rear passenger door is even with their rear bumper... (this is not clear and the video does not show where this point is) to start turning the wheel. I will try.

[@fallondriade]

[@briannahowell1816]

What i love about this is that it reminds when and what direction the steering wheel should be

[@louiscarmelotan]

Informative...so besides "Taking it slowly," which is a must, I always turn the wheel first before the letting the car move, people don't realize that your angle of attack changes if you are in motion, thus it can become harder to judge the corners and the curb. If you "cut" or turn the wheel as far as you can judge to enter the correct angle of the parking spot that gives you the best chance of completing the park in as least amount of steps as possible, it becomes easier and easier over time.

[@TarlaTorres]

Yeaaaa if you lived in the suburbs this would apply. I live in the city and spots have a fraction of that space and you have 2.5 seconds to park before someone starts honking lol

I took my driving test about 4 years ago, i didnt have to parallel park. And actually i have never had too even long after having my license

[@anonymouslyanonymous5987]

I know parallel parking is hard, but it's a good thing if you can do it! You can have more parking options.

[@ChristinaMagma]

***** I live in a suburban neighborhood. I've never had to do it in 4 years. Just depends on where you live!

[@ColdMediaTV]

ChristinaMagma But isn't it a shame that you can't do it? I mean if some emergency or other unexpected thing happens that requires you to move to a place where parallel parking is inevitable, you'd have to refuse to drive for that reason. Sigh.

[@anonymouslyanonymous5987]

I don't think it's shameful to not knowing how to parallel park. But like I said, it's still a great skill to learn! Especially if you travel to very dense cities, you might need it. My grandmother have been driving for almost 20 years, but she never had to parallel park. Unfortunately for me, I have to parallel park like everyday because I don't have enough space for my car in the garage.

If you start turning toward the space too soon, you can hit the bumper of the front car with the right side of your car. I suggest lining up the end of your rear mirror with the other car's rear mirror, or their wheels with your wheels, before turning the wheel.

Step 1: blinker and approach the spot as close as you can Step 2: when you check its big enough pull forward to the spot you are trying to get too and align your seat with the othee seat / cone or wtw Put the car into reverse Step 3: roll windown down and put ur rught mirror down to see the curb Back up straight and make sure ur tires are even wirh the other cars bumper Make sure your back / rear tired is lined exactly even with their end of the car (bumper) Step 4: crank wheel all way to the right and when the CENTER PILLAR or center middle thing between seats OF CAR IS EVEN WITH BACK BUMPER- STRAIGHTEN OUT THE WHEEL and go back straight and JUST before your right mirror is passing the rear of their car- now crank tge wheel all the way to the left slowly (Be sure to keep it slow to check everything) Now once into space come straight forward and adjust to your liking and thats how u perfect parallel park everytime

Jennifer Nguyen It went great! I passed on my first try! What they tested me on (and in this order) was Parallel Parking (got full points) Reverse perpendicular parking (I got half points because I did it correctly, but with a method that wasn't particularly legal for my town oops), backing up in a straight line for 20 ft, and then the road test. My road test took about 7-10 minutes since I live in a small city-town, so yours might be longer or shorter depending on how big your city is. The best of luck to you!!!

I hate parallel parking...I’d try this but I’ll probably just keep searching for a regular spot lol. Best parallel though is when there’s nobody in the back and you can pull in.

[@iAcceptMastercard]

Sometimes you cannot turn the wheel all the way around because you can over do the turn. Sometimes I turn it one half of a turn, back in, and turn it back the other way. If you turn it all the way, you have to quickly turn it all the way to the opposite direction which can mess you up.

Pudding Well, when making a right turn I was supposed to look through my right mirror and turn my head and make sure they’re is no one in the bicycle lane then proceed to enter the bicycle lane, turn my head one more time to back check that no one is coming on a bike then I’m able to make my right turn. What I was doing was not even entering the bicycle lane at all I was just turning she said that incorrect because people behind might think I’m going straight instead of turning and hit me from behind. entering the bicycle lane and going more to the corner let’s them know that you’re turning. I hope you that makes sense to you I suck at explaining 😂 let me know how your test goes !!💕

I think important advice missed is that as you are parallel with the car you’re backing up behind, when you start to reverse, your car should be at a 45° angle before you straighten the wheel to back into the open spot
