How to parallel park perfectly, every time



1. Pull alongside the car ahead of the space you want. Align your rear axle with that car's bumper. Turn the wheel toward the curb at full lock.

2. Back up until the center of your inside rear tire aligns with the streetside edge of the forward car. Straighten wheel, continue to reverse.

3. When your outside tire aligns with that same edge, turn the wheel the other way.

  1. In Germany you will never get a driving license if you are not able to do a perfect parallel parking. :-)
    In Drivingschool you will practice parallel parking again and again.

    1. very good! I hear that most countries in Europe and Asia are far better at training people to be good drivers, and the penalties from the cops and courts are far harsher than here in the USA
