One would think that pulling into a regular, perpendicular bay would be easy for anyone that has passed their license, but judging by the amount of less-than-perfect parking that is seen in parking lots, it isn't.

Here's a quick way with a few simple steps to ensure that you nail your perpendicular parking and slot it in between the lines without a hassle, time after time.

If you're just getting started and learning to drive, follow these steps:

  • Give yourself some space
  • Line the bumper up with the car to your left
  • Turn the wheels hard left
  • edge forward slowly until you are lined up
  • straighten your wheels
  • pull into the bay
