1. Position 60 cm from the blue car, rear bumper parallel, wheels fully turned.
2. Reverse with wheels fully turned until the red car's license plate appears in your left mirror—you're now at a 45° angle.
3. Straighten the wheels and continue reversing.
4. Stop when your front bumper passes the blue car's bumper.
5. With wheels stationary, turn fully left, then reverse slowly without touching the red car.
6. You're perfectly parked!
You've nailed the parallel park effortlessly :-)
This method is for right-side parking but works identically for left-side spots too.
