Who calls this "reverse parking"? I've only ever heard it called "parallel parking".
shanikwa
I parallel park through intuition

Now make one on how to use a blinker!
davebeastly
You could film a Fast and Furious chase sequence in that space.
PackHomme
When did GTA get so civilised
Agnagna
Well with that space i could fit even a truck

This technique is much much faster:

Parallel parking not reverse parking.
lastminute
Reverse parking: Pulling nose first HALF-WAY into a space, & then you back straight into the open space behind you, while surprising ➊
lastminute
the guy who's tired of waiting on you and decides to scoot around behind you - while you finish pulling FORward. ➋ ᴼᵒᵒᶠᵈ !
carouselcues
this is exactly how my driving instructor taught me and I how I teach my friends lol
Dickbroke
Okay now how do I get out?
PwnageHobo
No matter how many times I try, I can't get any of the lines to appear.
SidewaysPedro
Dude, you just need to hit X, X, Y, Left, Left, Right, X then hold Start and Y for 15 seconds and you'll get them no problem

What a dick but I admire the application
Falos
There's a good chance one of the other two already dicked, leaving that insult of a trap. Then OP was a fag: "Oh you think so? Hold my beer"
areyounotintertained
Now do this with an old car without Hydraulic Steering System!!
WaterYourPlants
I learned to parallel park (and drive) with my mother's huge car, no hydraulics & manual transmission. Now I think I am able to drive a bus.
areyounotintertained
Yeah, me too!! Small car, but no hydraulic! You have to move tip toe to turn the wheels!

Upvoting, hoping gets to fp so people learn how to parallel park!
WellWhatTheHeck
Even if it does, they won't.
firstofhisname419
A sequel on how to use a blinker would be appreciated, too.

It's been there before. Usually, the people who could benefit from it aren't going to see it.
dogenuggets
I agree, it's not perfect, but it's a good start. Half the battle is gaining the confidence to do it regularly.
n0n53n53
Also, knowing where your wheels are. Many people don't have a good perspective of how long their car is so setting up is wrong from step 1
smithyithy
How does one pass their driving test without being able to parallel park?
ashrynn
I'm 29 years old and was taught how to successfully parallel park this year.
n0n53n53
It just takes some practice, preferable not when you're on a busy street running late and nervous.
FYIyouCanHaveExactlySixtythreeCharactersOnUrUsernameLikeThisOne
Where i live you cant pass your drivers test if you dont know how to parallel park
asm80dfa8sdfj
Same here, it's weird to me that people don't know.
SpikeTheGoat
I dunno. I learned and knew how at 15, but haven't used it in like 15 years, so not so sure I could do it now if I had to without retrying.
asm80dfa8sdfj
How haven't you used it in 15 years?
SpikeTheGoat
Simple enough, there aren't any places you parallel park in my town. I've backed in spots, but that's about it.
Bunsen
I parallel parked perfectly on my road test and I have no idea how. Took me years of street parking to ever do that well again.
sumowoman
The same, except I never attempted it again. The single thing that makes me believe in God. There is no other explanation tohow it happened.

That's what kungfu is for lol

Does it come with a source?
Superdemo
It's from a movie called "Shaolin Soccer" pretty funny actually

My apologies, forgot to source it. Its from Shaolin Soccer.

I'm usually more worried that there's a group of ppl watching and waiting for me to cock it up.

relax, we're cheering
BreadyStinellis
I park perfectly by myself. Throw a passenger into the mix and it's like I'm an elderly Asian woman all of a sudden.
daewookie
LMFAO
SirSage
Right!? My neighbors learned my work schedule just to gather outside at night with snacks and watch me cry in the light of the dashboard
mandlesrule
Mine too! It's like a seriously sick and twisted club
TheTastiestTampon
After I learned how to drive a forklift, I began wishing cars had rear wheel steering.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Except when you corner at high speed on a reach truck and shit your pants when it tips
SleeperSix
Airplane Tugs have that too. Crazy turn radius.
TakoLover
It's not fucking rocket science.
truebobby
Just takes a little practice...when you're 16.
Zamm005
You overlook just how stupid most people are. Sadly, the reason that this repost reaches the front page every time is testament to that fact
SuperPickle17
implying people learned to drive at 16.

What if my car doesn't have those yellow lines pulling it?
notyourusualgirl9000
You are hilarious! ?
SlightlyRacistBanana69
Not my faulty you don't carry a protractor and chalk with you wherever you go!
notgoingtoarrestyou
then your acid tabs are garbage, or your forgetting to take them before driving.

Obscurant
Can't wait for all the reviews saying how great they work for parallel parking (and how terrible they are for it).
NotSoAngryGuy
oh ffs

You're a gem.

When is there ever that much extra space between cars?
BouncyBloom
I live on a hill, and half the time I'm wondering, "can I fit in there? Barely. Aight. Let's do it." It's a snug and terrifying fit, always.
Bunsen
The drivers around me like to leave about 1.8 cars' worth of space, so there are tons of almost-car-length useless openings. It's maddening.

Fragmentation IRL
porkface99
You can land a jumbo jet with that much space
paquerette
For sure! If you need that much space to park, you'll never Park in Paris !
TheDerpySpas
That's what I was thinking. The most common place you will need to parallel park would be in a city and there is never that much space
Alderand
#tyron
RoboticManiac
I'd have difficulty getting my bike in that much space.
IfILikeYourJokeITellYou
It's too tight
Ravenuser
And the car still "overshot", as in "used too much space".

Buzo2000
As a Parisian, the space to park an intergalactic mothership make me laugh.
NikoLorenzio
Yes lmao. Where do you find spots like these! I live in NYC and have to park in spots with few inches from each side of the bumper.
GeraSol13
That's what I thought. With the proper amount of space, you can park a truck with no steering wheel.
IGarfunkledYourMother
Enough space to park a milk truck.
Rossco311
It was a funny *angle*
TheHappyHermit
It's behind you, Rossco311. Whenever you reverse, things come from behind you.
alovelypintofguinness
Oh, you're a natural, don't you?
ramadainnsoundsgood
'Course I am!
ebongo91
Seriously. You could just pull in straight up with that much space. These instructions are also wrong
Chronomechanist
Fucking dry steering.
DARfuckinROCKS
Ive parked my work van with one inch of spare space. Course I needed a spotter and I jumped the curb. But I got that bitch in with out dings
Robvp
I drive a Chevy Express 3500 for work, the really long one, driving around and parking that thing anywhere is a nightmare
zanzaboonda
But did you get it out?
DARfuckinROCKS
Some say it's still there...
SatoriEnlightenment
My awesome Econoline van was 18 inches showered than my ducking Suburban. Miss that vehicle.
SatoriEnlightenment

Poorly done but yes
SonicBoomYourFamily
IT WAS A FUNNY ANGLE.
xThariusx
It's directly behind you Tyrone!
Streakfury
"It came from behind you, Tyrone. When you reverse, things come from behind!"
disinfectantrum
Stop that dog from dribbling on my seat
Streakfury
"Your seats? Tyrone, this is a stolen car, mate."
PianoMan2112
I thought this was going to be the version where it just keeps smashing until there's room.

That front car is too close. The car in question is just getting out of a tight spot.

I bet that's making the most wonderful noise.

The car is walking backwards. .

Thanks
Oblivionox09
I believe his camber is off and requires assume major alignment fixes
SuperiorPosterior
Is it your belief that you assume this?
Oblivionox09
It is my belief that this could be my assumption.
guiling
Traditional way to park a car in Paris.
SjyiN
Don't they usually torch em?
ImpoliteCanadian
I was going to say the same thing! And Let's not speak of Marseille.. have no idea how they can get out, everyone is bumper to bumper
WaterYourPlants
Or Athens
Techtronic
Or anywhere really. There are very few times I don't see the other cars parked that close.
Zhorhammer
French cars are cheap and don't pay nearly as much tax. They're not shy about /making/ room to park with some strategic bump-n-grind.
Fredfinks
Opened up comment thread to say that on my 1st day in Paris i saw this occur. You beat me to it.
Soujaofmisfortune
Almost every car bumper I saw in Paris had another car's paint on it.
badaite
No way, me too! I was on vacation. In front of us at a restaurant this happened. Lady was in the car getting pushed too and she was chill
HaveToReturnSomeVideoTapes
Haha me too! First day while sat outside a cafe.
agermanguy
I love the 206 . But a bad driver is a bad driver.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
In fairness I think it's the other car at fault boxing him in and hes pushing his way out
ourari
Great cars. Keep going for decades, like little indestructible urban workhorses.
agermanguy
I really dont know why someone downvoted you. Its true(except maybe the 1.1 ) . Also i miss my 206.
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
What is the 206?
Vanack
I think it is from French manufacturer Peurgot or something. It is a small hatchback not in the US
amyhadalittlepond
Seriously? Pretty much every 2nd car here in the uk is a 206.
Vanack
Yes, and yet the brand doesnt exist in the US meaning most people just see a random number. At least I know its a small french hatchback....
lifebanana
Peugeot 206. It's the blue car who push the Renault Nevada, behind it's a Renault Megane 2. All french cars, very common in France.
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
Oh cool. Don't think we have those in Aus.
