When parallel to the rear of the parking space with a 0.5-meter gap, start reversing. When your vehicle's rearview mirror aligns with the center pillar between the front and rear doors of the parked car, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. When your vehicle forms a 45-degree angle with the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. When the car's front is straightened, return the steering wheel to center. How to determine the 45-degree angle? When the license plate of the rear car appears in your left rearview mirror, it indicates your car has reached the 45-degree position. Alternatively, when the front right corner of your car aligns with the rear of the front car, it indicates your car has reached the 45-degree position. Have you learned this three-step parallel parking method?
Let me teach you three easy steps to master parallel parking: First, find a suitable parking spot and pull up next to the car in front of the target space, keeping about one meter apart for a safe start. Second, shift into reverse, slowly back up while turning the steering wheel fully to the right, and keep an eye on the rear taillight position in the right side mirror. When the car is at roughly a 45-degree angle, quickly straighten the steering wheel. Third, continue reversing, and as the rear wheel approaches the curb, turn the steering wheel fully to the left to slide the car into the spot. Check both sides to ensure no scraping, then stop and fine-tune the position to straighten the car. Practice several times in an empty parking lot—don’t fear failure. Mastering parallel parking in the city is a huge help, saving parking spots and making commuting easier.
