Which is more difficult, reverse parking or parallel parking?

[DelKennedy]

Parallel parking is more difficult. Here are the relevant details: Parallel parking: Parallel parking must be done in reverse. This is especially true when there is limited space in front and behind. The reason is that if you enter head-first, the rear of the car will still be outside the parking space, making it nearly impossible to adjust the rear into the spot by reversing. You can try parallel parking with a bicycle to understand this, but keep in mind that a bicycle has much greater steering flexibility than a car. If you reverse in tail-first, the front of the car will initially be outside the parking space. However, since the front wheels are steering wheels, you can adjust their angle and move the car back and forth to bring the front end into the space. Essentially, the rear wheels act as a pivot point, allowing the front wheels to swing the car into position. Reverse parking (backing into a bay): Whether you enter head-first or tail-first makes little difference in reverse parking. Entering head-first makes it harder to adjust the position of the rear when entering (as in the previous example), while entering tail-first makes it easier to adjust the rear when exiting.
