Do you drive around the block several times trying to avoid a tight spot that requires parallel parking? You’re far from alone.
Thirty-five per cent said backing into a parking stall is difficult and 20 per cent still avoid it whenever possible. Another 26 per cent cited merging onto a highway as a problem — though only six per cent avoid it, because … how the heck else are you going to get on the highway? “For some of us, it may be decades since we learned to drive, and our road test is a distant memory in the rear-view mirror,” said Jerry Boal, ICBC’s driver licensing office manager.
Do a 360-degree check then back up, turning the wheel sharply to the right until your car is at a 45-degree angle to the curb. When your front door passes the back bumper of the car in front, straighten the wheels and keep backing up. When you’re clear of the car ahead, turn the wheels sharply to the left and back in slowly.How to back into a parking stall Backing in can reduce blind spots and increase your field of vision when exiting. Choose a spot with plenty of room for your vehicle.
