Parallel Parking

[fallbayuk]

GF asked a question last night that i couldnt give a decent answer to. What is it about parallel parking that enables you to park into a tight space between vehicles that you can not drive straight into? Or theoretically could you drive forwards into any space that you can parallel park in to?

As you may have guessed im bored in the office on christmas eve.

If the rear wheels did the steering then you would be able to do it forwards too, just gives you the capability to bring the front end right in without moving backwards very much when at full lock, you cant to that forwards, the rear sticks out too far. If that makes sense.

Yep that'll do. Cheers!
