Explanation
The steps in parallel parking are as follows: Put on your turn signal to warn other drivers that you intend to park. Signal and stop with the back of your vehicle even with the back of the vehicle in front of the parking space. Back up slowly, turning your steering wheel to the right to aim the back of your car toward the front of the one behind you. As the front of your car clears the back of the car in front of you, turn your wheels sharply to the left and continue backing slowly until the back of your car almost touches the car behind you. Straighten your wheels and pull forward to center the car in the parking space. Put the transmission in park (for an automatic) or in first gear or reverse (for a manual). Set the parking brake.
