Can you parallel park?

[xSauronx]

i can park cars easily, vans ok, a fullsize pickup is another matter since im not used to the size

Yes

I grew up in the suburbs and I know how to parallel park. Some cars are easier than others though.

i grew up in florida and got my license there, so parallel parking was never part of the test. i live in nyc now, however, but i still don't know how to parallel park and i drive to work every day 😱

i'm lucky because there are 60 and 90-degree parking spots near my apt, and there's a normal parking lot by my office. but one day, i'm gonna be screwed, and i'll have to make someone teach me 🙂

I parallel park my pickup all the time. Did it yesterday, in fact -- slid right in, first try. just like the magic stick ... *cough* I'll be here all night.

Blind folded w/ a U-Haul truck, 3 turns of the wheel max. Yeah, I'm that damn good.

I have been driving for over 40 years and never learned how to parallel park. I just ram the damn cars out of the way and then act demented. Works every time.

First time I ever tried was for my licsence test in a whiteout. Got it spot on.

 

[mdchesne]

yes, but i hate doing so. rather park on a side street with normal diagonal parking

 

[jadinolf]

Yes.

Not very well. Trucks are not the easiest vehicles to parallel park...

That being said though, I am highly proficient in parallel porking. 😎

when was the last time you were in florida...perhaps not S. Fla (orlando south)....the past 20 years parallel parking was required if not in a garage.

Still most nights I was seek perpendicular parking.

Parallel is easy...pass, back up, cut, cut...leave and hope no one either hits your ride or blocks you in.
