Be honest, can you parallel park?

Yes, I can parallel park.

 

I may be eligible for bonus points as I can parallel park on either side of the street.  I grew up in area/city with a lot of one-way streets so being able to park on either side of the street was a necessity.

I will admit having side mirrors that tilt down so you can see the curb REALLY helps a lot.  What a great invention - that was NOT available for my driving test 25 years ago!!

Re: Be honest, can you parallel park?

Yes! I was taught on the very narrow streets of Europe so I am really good at it!

Absolutely!  I happen to be very good at it although I don't have much opportunity to practice.

Re: Be honest, can you parallel park?

If I have about a 2 car length spot I can do it carefully and slowly but if it's a tight spot...no way. I don't even attempt it.Woman Frustrated

Of course, and I recently taught my kid to for her driving test.

Re: Be honest, can you parallel park?

No. I failed parallel parking on my drivers test. I have never tried to parallel park since. I'm 69 years old so it was a long time ago.

Yes, that is easy for me. I cannot,however,back into a parking space or back up in a straight line,lol.
