Parralell parking for dummies:

Drive really close to the car you are parking behind about 2" between the wing mirrors. Put your back wheels in line with his rear bumper. Turn the wheel one full turn to the left. Now, when the kerb disappears in your left wing mirror go hard over right. Perfect results every time.

Careful you don't smash his rear with your bumper the first few times though incase your car is longer/shorter than mine.

I was taught and park with the steering wheel at full lock to pull in.
Then at a certain lentgh of the car im driving passes the back bumper of the car in front it full lock the other way. Then im in and i drive forward a little bit to straight the wheels and the car up and Done :cool:
 
Nah, because if you are at full lock you get to the kerb and your bonnet is still way by the side of the car parked in front. What works for you though, you might be able to get away with full lock in a small car.

To get that way to work you need to have a point that you can see in the Side/back windows that you just know to start turning the wheel. The problem is that the point is different on all cars
 
I always parallel park using full lock.

By the way, if you want an easy car to park, buy a Lotus Elise. It's the easiest car to park which I have ever driven.

Does any one else here try to avoid parallel parking all together or is that just me? :p

No thats me too, in fact i dont like reversing full stop. I always try to drive straight into a space now. Cars were supposed to go forwards anyway, i dont know why they have a reverse gear. Its just asking for trouble if you ask me! :)

I have to do it every day at home. As with everything in life, you pick it up quicker the more you do it.
