How to Determine When Parallel Parking is Perfectly Aligned?

[AaronDella]

When preparing to park the car, lean back against the seat and look downward to the left outside the vehicle. Once the yellow line of the parking space corner is completely obscured by the rearview mirror (i.e., disappears from view), immediately brake. This ensures the car is perfectly aligned while reversing into the space. Key points about parallel parking include: 1. When reversing, turning the steering wheel to the left will make the rear of the car move left; turning it to the right will make the rear move right. 2. When reversing into a left parking space, turning the steering wheel too early will result in the left side being too narrow and the right side too wide; turning too late will cause the left side to be too wide and the right side too narrow. Conversely, when reversing into a right parking space, turning the wheel too early leads to the right side being too wide and the left side too narrow, while turning too late results in the left side being too narrow and the right side too wide.
