Be honest, can you parallel park? - Page 7

I did, but not anymore. The way I learned to parallel park was when backing up as soon as I saw the license plate on the car in front of me is when I turned the wheel to slide into the space. It worked every time. Today I wouuldn't even attempt it.

Yes, very well. Backing up a trailer not so much. Lol

Of course. It was required when I took my driving test back in 1969. And I parallel parked my dad's 9 passenger Impala station wagon to boot for the test!

Yes, I can, though I don't have to do it often here in Southern California.

Sure can! I've always driven a stick and for many years had a huge 4 wheel drive with no power steering so after being able to handle that everything else is easy!

No I can't. It's not required for our driving tests. I avoid areas where that's the only parking available.

I have no idea, it's been so long that I've had to. I think I would be scared.

I have neighbors that can't even park off the street (no curbing), and they are from NY. Constantly taking up a whole lane of traffic, and no parallel other than off the street.

I remember days when cars had no passenger side mirror. Boy was that dumb! I still crane my head around to merge right, but that mirror is certainly an assist.

I have a panic attack when my husband parrallel parks, I would not even attempt it, but then I no longer drive unless there is an emergency!

I can do it for sure. I also lived places where they drive on the other side of the road and I can do it on the other side with the steering wheel on the other side too.
