What are the methods for parallel parking entry and exit?

First, you must understand parallel parking. After parking, there is a reference point at the rear of the car corresponding to the horizontal line of the parking space for operation. Exiting is simple: turn the steering wheel fully to the left, and when the left side of the car's front aligns with the roadside line ahead, straighten the wheel and proceed straight.
Hey, when I first learned to drive, parallel parking gave me a headache too. After practicing a lot, I realized the key lies in the rhythm. When parking, first align your car parallel to the car next to you, keeping about half a meter distance, then slowly drive forward. Stop when the rear bumper of the front car reaches your car's B-pillar, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, and reverse until you can see the full front of the car behind you in the left rearview mirror, then straighten the wheel. Continue reversing, and when the left front door handle aligns with the curb line, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Stop once the car body is straight. Exiting the spot is even simpler: shift to drive, turn left, and when the front of the car comes out, check the mirrors to avoid scraping the car behind. Once half of your car passes the front car's bumper, turn right and go. Remember to adjust the mirrors lower to see the curb!
