How exactly do I parallel park?

Question

I haven't needed to since I took my driving test in high school.I haven't had to do this in a few years now,because I haven't been able to drive for a few years now.I didn't do anything wrong its just my epilepsy got really bad,and I did the right thing and reported it to the MVD.Now my seizures have been under control for the past year,and even thou I don't have to retake the test I want to.

My parallel parking wasn't the greatest then,and I haven't done this in well over a year.So,If anyone could give me a play by play I would appreciate it.

Answer 1

pull forward about a half car length in front of the spot you want to park in.  Adjust that according to the size of your car.  I cheat; I'm not parallel to the car parked on my right, my front end is turned out toward traffic a little.  start backing in pointing the rear end toward the curb until you are about half way in, again adjust according to your car's size.  Turn your wheels in the opposite direction while you continue to back in, turning more or less to get close to the curb while keeping an eye on the car in front of you and the car behind you.  Back up as far as you can, straighten your wheels or turn them a little toward the curb and pull forward until you're centered between the cars.  Easy.

Answer 2

One of the easiest ways.

Bumper to bumper 1 turn to the right.

Bumper to door 1 left

Bumper to back bumper all the left

Try this method i was taught this in drivers ed. Just remember take your time, do it  in one smooth move.

Practice makes perfect.

Answer 3

This is how I learned it from my driver's ed. instructor, and by god it works just about everytime(except the real tight spots).

Start by pulling your car up next to the car that will be in front of you in your space, making sure you're about even with the driver's door on it.

Put your blinker on and begin to back up.

95% of all cars have the small window next to the larger window in the back seat, use the strip between them as a marker. As you back up, when that strip appears to be in line with the tail light of the car you're next to, cut your wheel to the right.

Keep backing up like that until your passenger side mirror is at about the same point(lined up with the tail light), then start cutting the wheel back to the left.

This should line you up about perfect in the spot, with minimal adjustments needed to straighten out.

Answer 4

i have epilepsy to, all my life.  grandmal and pitimal.  its always been under control

i am from NJ and i have to get a full health exam and an EKG every 3 years from the state and they let me drive.  

just be careful.  i did have a seizure when i was driving when i was young.  luckily i hit the side wall down the strip of highway and nothing happened.  God was by my side then.

i have a class B licence and i used to drive school bus.  My state allowed me to drive school bus but not all states allow it

i am great at parallel parking but i cannot explain it, you just have to do it a couple dozen times and you will be a pro.

Answer 5

Pull up the car in FRONT of the space you're pulling into, align the bumpers, Crank the wheel hard, and straiten out as you back in.
