You don't. I live in a city of 4 million. Been driving 10 years. Never learned to parallel park because it's a infrequently needed skill. Bonus: no curb rash on wheels at all.

Practice

but I failed my drivers test because I could not parallel park.

The cones could barley fit the car. It's like a claw machine, rigged.

>mfw 25k econoboxes can parallel and back-in park themselves
>mfw I own one

Go ahead of the parking space by about 1 to 1.5 car lengths, turn the steering wheel towards the spot, reverse while the car turns, adjust turning as necessary (begin turning the wheel away from the spot to straighten out), pull forward a bit to straighten out if necessary.

Follow this guide.

Depends on if you have a FWD, AWD, or RWD.

fwd
>put the back end into the spot and do a burnout allowing the front to slide in

awd
>go parallel to the spot and burn out and slide in sideways

rwd
>put the front in and do a burn out letting the rear slide into the spot

Its easy, really.

You don't need to if you're not an urban retard.

carefully

It's like you want your shitbox to be stolen.

>turn your wheel all the way right
>back in, adjusting the wheel back to neutral and then left as you go so smoothly enter the space

Just use spatial awareness. You are a man. You are good with it. Use the driving seats of cars in front and behind you to position yourself aligned with them.

and if the system fails and you hit a car, your 100% at fault for the crash

pull vehicle next to vehicle in front of desired space.. keep comfortable distance from vehicle but closer is most effective.. reverse until half way next to empty space.. lock wheel.. continue reversing until front is nearly clear.. lock wheel opposite.. reverse into space.. enjoy new scratches

Say fuck it and find a better spot

That's seriously impressive, that can't have been more than 5-10cm wiggle room

>mfw I can tell its in Paris just by the sidewalk barriers

Could do it falwlessly anytime before and after my license test - haven't doen it in a long time so I can't really do it anymore. I need to train because it's much needed

line up with car.
turn wheels.
move backwards
turn wheels other way
move backwards more
once straight move forward a bit.

Jesus fucking christ what a monster

>girlfriend makes me parallel park her VW BEETLE because she thinks its too hard
>im blind in one eye, have hardly any depth perception and can't perceive distances for shit
>can parallel park better than her

how do some people get licenses

Good fucking question, seeing as they gave it to a near blind person

Fucking kek

...

It's one of those ones where you have to operate the brake pedal yourself

>buy driving lessons
>learn some rear corner 2/3 bumper technique
>try it in your car
>realize it only works in hyundai i30
>pay with leg and arm to repair scratches

recapping because i just did my test
>go in front of space, presumably alongside car in front
>reverse until your rear left wheel is past this car so you dont brush it when turning in
>look in left wing mirror and turn left sharply, taking care not to brush the car's rear right bumper
>until the left rear wheel is almost hitting the kerb
>turn right sharply and reverse back to straighten car

user your greentext hit a little to close to home and i'd appreciate if you dont do it again. thanks.

>test requires parallel parking
Laughs in Floridian

I live in a rural area too wtf

Might be part of it desu
If theres no tests often like in a rural area, they might be more involved, but if you go to a busy dmv they might not care enough

It's pretty easy. I even live in a place where it's rare that I need to, but I choose to do it any way.

It's all about the first angle.

>pull up so my window is equal to theirs
>go in reverse, start to back into the space
>turn the steering far enough so that when I look out my street-side side view mirror, my car looks like it's going to reverse onto the sidewalk immediately next to the car behind the spot.
>turn wheel back when clear of the front car bumper
>straighten out wheel

people who can't park in one manoeuvre or less, deserve to have their license revoked

bhow do ya burn out

>put on signal to parallel park after searching for 15 fucking minutes
>pull to car in front of spot, put on backup lights, signal still on this entire time
>stacy decided to tailgate your ass so hard she's now blocks the space

simplest tips i can give

>line your car up with the car in FRONT of the empty spot you’re about to parallel park in. Match your front tires with that cars front tires.
>turn should be fully locked by the time your front tires are at the front cars rear tires as you revers

>pull alongside drivers door of car in front of spce you want to back into
>turn wheel all the way to direction opposite of space youre backing into
>reverse
>once youre positioned at 45 degree angle turn wheel all the way to other direction
>reverse
>parked

Also be about a foot away from the car in front of space wheb youre lined up parallel

I have the steering reversed
