Parallel parking is a method of parking a vehicle parallel to the road, typically between two other parked cars. This technique is commonly used in urban areas where space is limited. To parallel park, a driver must maneuver their vehicle into a space that is roughly the same length as their car, often requiring several adjustments to align properly. The process usually involves signaling, reversing into the space, and turning the steering wheel to angle the car correctly. Drivers often practice this skill to improve their parking abilities, as it can be challenging for beginners. Mastering parallel parking can enhance overall driving confidence and efficiency in tight spaces.
