reverse parallel parking tips Page 3

  • Pick a spot about one and a half car lengths, indicate early, and pull up parallel with the car in front about a metre away—confidence is contagious.
  • Reverse slowly until your rear wheels align with the other car’s bumper, then full lock towards the kerb like you mean it.
  • When your mirror lines up with their rear corner, unwind a turn or two and keep creeping—small inputs, no heroics.
  • As your front clears their bumper, steer back the other way to straighten; stop with 30–45 cm from the kerb, not embracing it.
  • Fix minor sins with gentle shuffles; hazard lights and patience beat horn-blaring heroes every day of the week.
