    Frankly, I have avoided reverse parking for quite some time and got more and more out of exercise. These instructions are easy to remember and I will try it next time. I learned some tricks with the rear window, but with my new car that is pretty hopeless. So I hope the mirror method will do the job.

    In California, you don't have to parallel park to pass the driver's test, but it's definitely a useful skill every driver should know. I used to be good at it when living in San Francisco, but now that I live in the 'burbs and only parallel park once in awhile, it sometimes takes me two attempts.

    Hi, I hate to admit this, but parallel parking has always been a problem for me. I would like to think I am a good safe driver: but this is my blind spot! Thanks for a very helpful lens.

    This is something I'm not very good at. I learned how to when I was going for my driving test, but the knowledge slipped my brain right after the test. I go to great lengths to avoid parallel parking. Thanks for the tips!

    I NEEDED this lens! Never quite got the hang of parallel parking but your description of the process has made it sound much more doable.

    Now I'm getting older I'm finding it difficult. It depends which side I'm trying from, left no worries, right, I battle a bit. Blessed by an Angel.

    I have NEVER been able to parallel park. In every other way, I'd say I'm a good (and safe and courteous) driver, but this is one thing I've never been able to master. So when I go downtown, I often park a good distance away and have myself a nice (and sometimes rather long) walk. I'll have to re-read your instructions ... a couple hundred times! :)
