how to reverse parallel park

Ah, the art of reverse parallel parking – a true rite of passage for Aussie drivers everywhere. First, spot a gap that’s a smidge longer than your car. Signal, then pull up alongside the car in front of the space, about a metre away. Shift into reverse and slowly turn your steering wheel sharply towards the curb, inching back until your car’s rear is mostly in the space. Then, straighten the wheel and continue reversing until the front of your car clears the rear of the car ahead. Finally, turn the wheel away from the curb to tuck your front end in neatly. Remember, no one’s perfect first try—practice makes less embarrassing!
