I need some advice for how to parallel park.....?

Question

I'm learning how to drive and whenever i try to parallel park, i end up either too close or two far from the curb.

What should I do in order to parallel park the proper way?

Answer 1

Use your turn signal to indicate the direction of the parking spot.

If the space is not yet vacant but the car in it is about to leave, wait behind the spot.

When the space is vacant, pull ahead of it until you have pulled up beside the car parked in front of the space. Your rear bumper should be even with that car's rear bumper with about 2 feet of road between you.

Put the car in reverse. Begin to back up slowly; as soon as the car starts moving, turn the wheel as far as it will go toward the curb.

Back slowly into the space.

When the back of your car's front door is even with the rear bumper of the car beside you, begin turning the wheel away from the curb.

Continue turning the wheel away from the curb and backing slowly into the space.

Straighten out the wheel, then pull forward or back in the space as needed to center yourself between the cars in front of and behind you. Your car should be 6 to 8 inches from the curb when you are parked.

Answer 2

when your backin up beside the car you pulled passed turn in to the spot when your body is even with the back bumper and if you know you have engouh room in the back watch the front and stay as close as you can to the front car and after you cut ALL THE WAY in start to straitin  it out imediatly after rolling backwards before your front bumper is clear you gotta start straiting it out

my mom cant do it either and it makes me sooooo mad i have to go drive when im with her every time she has to park so dont feel bad your not the only one

Answer 3

Get your mirrors adjusted properly. You should be able to see a small portion of the rear of your car along with the space you're backing into. Also, adjust the mirrors so that you only have to turn your head right or left to see, not lean your whole body. It's all about trusting what you see in those mirrors.
