First things first.
The first thing you should do after finding your spot is to turn on your flashers. This will indicate to other drivers you are parking in the designated spot and if possible to go around you. Remember to breathe; this is the part where you may get really anxious and start making irrational decisions to take the pressure off. The calmer you are the better your results will be!
Move with confidence.
Always give yourself plenty of time to pull up next to your spot before you parallel park. Give yourself more than enough space from the car in front and behind. Always keep your eyes moving and check your mirrors constantly when backing into the parking spot. Be as smooth as possible when braking, hitting the gas and moving the steering wheel, avoid being jerky to show confidence.
Double check yourself.
Before getting out the car, check how you did. Make sure you are a decent amount of space from the car in front and behind you. Make sure you aren’t too close to the curb. When taking your test, be sure to avoid knocking over traffic cones. Judge the space before backing in if there are traffic cones present and how far you can back up with knocking any down. This takes practice and skill, but the more you do it the better you’ll be.
