Stunning scientific method for parallel parking has people amazed

At first glance, parallel parking might seem easy – however many consider it the hardest part of driving, especially for beginners.

Many drivers know how to drive but struggle with parking – in fact, parallel parking can be a challenge for those who have been driving for years.

It’s common to see someone trying to park and making it look like they have never driven a car before.

Recently, a video shared on X by Learn Something amazed its followers with a scientific method for parallel parking.

Scientific method for parallel parking

As taught in the video, you should first reverse your car until the back seat is parallel to the end of the other car.

Then, turn the steering wheel toward the parking side and continue to turn the car.

When your side mirror aligns with the end of the other car, turn the steering wheel the opposite way and keep reversing. And that’s how easily it’s done.

Parallel parking is a skill mostly needed in cities, where the laws are strict and there’s not much space for parking.

That’s the reason why it is considered an important skill checked during driving tests.

Although many modern cars are coming up with self-parking features, it’s a skill that every driver should have in their locker.

Keep your vehicle size in mind while parking

While the tricks shared in the video would easily work with most cars, you still need to keep the size of your vehicle in mind.

A compact car like Beetle or Cooper would require less space to turn and fit into parking spots compared to something like a pick-up truck.

Reacting to the video, one user asked, “Is there anyone who uses this method? I tried once, but it is hard to figure out the correct lines from the driver seat.”

Another one added, “Useful tips.” Seems like we also had a Tesla lover in the comment section, commenting, “Tesla owners excluded, fsd has you covered”

This easy-to-follow technique can be very helpful the next time you need to park your car.
