Didn't they teach you this sort of thing when learning to drive? And isn't it part of the test? Was when I learnt 25 years ago.

You'll be asking how to do a hill start next.
They teach it within a space of 2 cars, I can parallel park easily just not in very tight spaces as you probably couldn't either. Get off your high horse buddy.

OP there are literally dozens of videos on the 'tube with better explanations, and not one patronising pillock who'd rather criticise than advise smile

So you can parallel park then. The actual manoeuvre is no different. Take your time and keep it slow.

Rather than go on the Internet how about driving to a quiet road and practising?

Oh, and I've parked on the street all my driving life. It's something you get good at very quickly as if you can't park, you're in for a long walk home.
I practiced earlier. The internet is a good resource for learning new things and getting different tips. Possibly why I went on the internet? smile
