Parallel parking:

1. Scope out your spot. Make sure there is no traffic.

2. Drive forward (or reverse, whichever you can do the most safely) until you are directly parallel with the vehicle in front of (or behind) the space you want.

3. Make sure no one else is trying the same maneuver on the opposite car in order to steal the space from you.

4. Turn your wheel sharply away from the curb if you are backing in to the space (angle towards the curb if you're driving forward).

5. Ease in slowly. When you are halfway there turn the wheel in the opposite direction to straighten out.

Parallel parking seems to be a "you've got it or you don't" thing. I could parallel park like a champion, but I could NOT back up to save my life; FWIW most people I have spoken with say the same thing (or the reverse). IDK why.

This is great.

I've been driving for 11 years, but I'm shit at parallel parking (it wasn't required for my driver's test, and you don't have to do it very much where I live -- which is probably why it isn't required for my driver's test). I am totally going to use these tips in a bid to stop sucking at it.

For me, my ability to do it changes on a daily basis. On some days, I can park in the smallest possible spot, on some days, I can't get the car straight in a spot that's twice the length of my car...

Another trick I learned was: If you stand parallel to the car in front of your space and start going back, only start turning the wheel once the back of the other car is in your back window (the one on the side).
