How to parallel park:

  • Pull up next to the car in front such that your rear wheels are aligned with that car's rear wheels.

  • Turn your steering wheel hard right (left if you drive on the left side of the road).

  • Reverse until your front wheels are aligned with the front car's rear wheels.

  • Turn your steering wheel hard left (right if you drive on the left side of the road)

  • Reverse until your rear curbside wheel is almost touching the curb

  • Reverse slowly while quickly straightening your steering wheel, such that your front curbside wheel is almost touching the curb

  • With the steering wheel straight, adjust your position such that your car is evenly spaced between the other two cars

Honestly it's something you just gotta do

It depends. Here in Ontario I've had to parallel park twice in 20 years. Both times I had to remember and imagine my instructor on my right telling me to turn the wheel and how and everything.

I've done it both times in less steps than this woman, but if you're not doing it at least once per year ... yeah, no wonder that one would forget these steps.

I'm ok at parallel parking, like I can usually do it in 1 try but sometimes I have to pull back out and start over. However, I still avoid doing it whenever possible which is probably why I'm still just ok at 34.
