Parallel Parking
Feeling nervous about this manoeuvre coming up in your test? After these top tips from Golden Wheel Driving School , you’ll be parallel parking with no problem!
Okay guys so this is one of the most difficult manoeuvres and it’s one that goes wrong quite often so we want to make sure that we got nice control of the car and good observations. Basically, the key is nice and steady and don’t panic.
Examiners refer to this as reverse parking manoeuvres so don’t get confused and don’t worry. They will also tell you to parallel park.
The space you need to do this manoeuvre is about one and half times the size of your car the examiner will be picking a space that’s at least two car lengths and actually going to pick a car on his own and move out along sided and reverse back. If you can practice this in 1.5 car lengths you are easily going to do it in 2.
Sometimes we need reference points and they do work for some people, but they don’t work for everybody so have a chat with your instructor and have a plan B.
Golden Wheel Driving School offers a service in our vehicle to assist you to your road test. Your DMV appointment was scheduled at the completion of the lessons, but not our service. You must contact us @ (201)797-5858 in advance to schedule our service.
We have small and new Road Test vehicles.
How to Parallel Park
Parallel parking can be intimidating, but you’ll master it in no time with a bit of practice. Before you begin, find a space a few feet longer than your vehicle.
Confirm the space is legal and use your flashers to signal as you pull up in front of the space. Shift into reverse and begin slowly backing up. At the same time, push the top of your steering wheel toward the space until the vehicle is at a 45 degree angle.
Straighten out by turning the steering wheel the other way and bring your vehicle parallel to the curb. Shift back to drive and pull forward to center the vehicle in the space.
