Parallel parking step by step for Indian city streets

Reference points, mirror checks and how to recover when the first attempt misses.

Parallel parking looks impossible until you learn reference points. Align with the car ahead, reverse with a clear steering plan, straighten, and leave space to exit.

Use mirrors and a shoulder check for bikes — Kerala kerbs are busy. Slow wheel speed beats wide, fast swings that clip the kerb.

If the first attempt is crooked, pull out safely and reset. Examiners and instructors prefer a clean second try over forcing a bad angle.
