How to Parallel Park

  1. First find an empty parking lot.
  2. Next, put four cones near a planter with trees.
  3. Then stick four sticks into the cones. (Make sure the cones are the proper distance apart by consulting your Driver's Manual)
  4. Afterwards , you should get into the car and reverse the car three hundred feet.
  5. Then drive the car forward and keep the car close to the place where you will be parallel parking.
  6. As you approach the cone with the stick closest to you, drive slowly because you need to match the car frame with the stick.
  7. After the stick and the car's window frame are matched, you should turn your steering wheel one and a quarter turns to the right and reverese the car into the space. You should stop when a small pen and the stick closest to the planter is matched up. (You would need to put the small pen in the rear seat that is directly behind you.
  8. After the pen and the stick is matched up, you need to turn the steering wheel back to home position. Then reverse the car and match the front frame with the cone closest to the car.
  9. After the frame and the cone are matched up, you need to turn the steering wheel one and a quarter turns to the left and reverse further into the spot.
  10. You should stop reversing when you have noticed that the space between the curb and the right side wheels are one inch apart. For this to work, you must buy one small circular mirror and place it on the right rearview mirror.
  11. Now that you are comfortably in the parking spot, You need to remember to drive forward a little bit to make the car at the center of the spot.
  12. Finally, pull the car into the parking gear.
  13. That's it. You have successfully parallel parked.
  14. Thank You for reading
