Some individuals have acknowledged that their parking abilities need improvement and have been amazed by a straightforward technique for mastering parallel parking.
Many people are proficient drivers, yet not all of them excel at parking, or at least parking well.
There are those who have been driving for years but always struggle with one particular maneuver.
Parallel parking is often that challenging task. I bet you can think of someone who parallel parks as if they’ve never driven before.
Well, these individuals have taken to social media, admitting they were astonished by a video demonstrating the ‘perfect way’ to park.
The Learn Something page shared the post on Twitter on September 30, captioning it: “The scientific method of parking a car.”
Personally, I can’t envision any other method to parallel park—this has always been my approach.
So if you aren’t using this method, it’s no surprise you’re having trouble parking.
The video is concise and clear: you align your car next to the one you intend to park behind, reverse until your back seats are level with the back of the other car, and then fully turn the steering wheel in the desired direction.
Next, reverse until your front mirror has just passed the back of the other car, then fully turn the steering wheel the opposite way.
And just like that, you are perfectly parked.
“Its great and amazing method for parking car,” one person remarked on social media.
“My driving instructor had white drawing pins stuck in the middle and both corners of the backseat shelf for orientation when reverse parking. Pretty soon I could reverse park without those pins. Great idea,” commented another.
“Works like wonders!! I had been driving for 15 years when someone told me this!! Changed my entire parallel parking game!!,” wrote a third.
“It’s not just a scientific method, this is exactly the method they teach you in driving school before you get your license.”
“Anyone who doesn’t know it shouldn’t have a license!,” another person added.
So there you have it, if you’re still not parallel parking perfectly after watching this video, well, that’s understandable, but you might want to practice it at some point.
