Engage first gear and enter at low speed. Maintain a distance of 30 to 50 cm from the right edge line. Stop when the rear of the car is 1 to 1.5 meters away from the left front corner of the parking area. Shift into reverse gear, control the speed, and slowly back up. Observe the right rearview mirror. When the left front corner line of the parking area disappears, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Align the car's edge strip with the yellow dashed line and straighten the wheels. When the tire aligns with the yellow dashed line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Stop when the car body is parallel to the dashed line and the car is straight. Turn on the left turn signal, shift into first gear, and exit the parking space. Straighten the wheels to the right when the engine hood aligns with the road edge. When the midpoint of the engine hood forms a cross shape with the road edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. Straighten the wheels after the car is aligned, and slowly drive out.
From my own experience of getting a driver's license, parallel parking is actually quite simple. First, drive the car forward, keeping the body of the car about 30 centimeters away from the edge of the parking space, roughly the length of a water bottle. After shifting into reverse, slowly back up while watching the right rearview mirror. As soon as the corner of the parking space disappears from the right rearview mirror, immediately turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. Then, quickly turn your head to look at the left rearview mirror. When you see the inner corner of the parking space appear in the mirror, straighten the steering wheel. Continue reversing while paying attention to the left rear wheel. When you feel it's about to touch the dotted line, immediately turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Finally, wait until the car is completely inside the space and the body is parallel to the lines before stopping. Throughout the process, keep the speed slow and make decisive steering movements. When exiting, remember to turn on the left turn signal first, and straighten the wheel when the front of the car passes halfway over the line.
