Parallel Park

This manoeuvre is used to park your vehicle into a limited gap on a side street. This park requires the most accuracy and is therefore typically left until last. However, don't fear - the examiner will not make you park in tight space - typically you will be required to complete the park within a gap of about two car lengths, you probably will not have a car too close behind. You will need to have precise vehicle control to perform this manoeuvre accurately.

Common problems: 

not enough observation to rear of vehicle

incorrect steering/approach angle

finishing too near (mounting curb) or too wide from curb

using too much space to complete the park
