Follow the staged steering and observation in this parallel-parking demonstration.
Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.
The driver approaches parallel with the parked taxi and uses its tail light as a setup cue. Reference points depend on your vehicle, seat position and spacing; learn suitable ones rather than copying the window cue blindly.
After selecting reverse and steering right, the driver performs the 360 check and looks back while moving at walking pace. The approximate 30-degree angle is a teaching reference; clearance and observation remain the priority.
The wheel returns to centre and the car backs straight with another surroundings check. Watch the car’s actual position and curb clearance as the reference light moves in the window.
The driver adds left steering in stages, pauses to evaluate and keeps checking rear and side views. Once parallel, straighten the wheel and confirm room from the car ahead and curb before securing the park.
