Parallel parking, Method 2

Stop beside the space you wish to use to check if it is long enough for your car.

Stop parallel to the car before the space with only 10 cm between the wing mirrors.

Place your car so that your rear wheels are in line with the rear wheels of the car beside you.

Turn the steering wheel one whole revolution to the left.

Slowly edge backwards until you can see the front end of the car behind you in your right wing mirror.

Turn the steering wheel back so the wheels become straight.

Reverse slowly until your rear left wheel is in line with the right wing mirror of the car behind you.

If you wish, open the door to check. But don’t forget to first put the car in neutral.

Steer full right and reverse.

Keep an eye on your front right corner of your car so it does not hit the car in front of you.

Put your car in its final position.

Well done!
