Below is a text overview of the manoeuvre:
Parallel Park
• MSPSL as you approach
• Pull up beside the parked vehicle (max a metre/door width away & straight) and stop when your left hand mirror lines up with the front of the vehicle.
• Handbrake & put the car into reverse.
• Look @ the camber of road and decide how much gas/biting point. Am I going up hill/down hill?
• Observations all round
• Handbrake off & half a turn LEFT. Slow car, quick steer.
• Observations all round
• When the left hand mirror lines up with the corner of the parked vehicle, half a turn RIGHT (the wheels are now straight)
• Observations all round/slow car
• Take the car slowly slowly back/observations all round
• When the curb lines up with the back of the car (small mirror "V") one turn RIGHT.
• Observations/looking all round, especially the KERB
• Just before the car is parallel one turn LEFT (to straighten wheels)
• Handbrake up & take out of gear
Throughout the manoeuvre you can make any adjustments you want just keep its SAFE!
Give way to all other road users including pedestrians.
