Paralleelparkimine

Paralleelparkimine is a common parking maneuver where a vehicle is positioned parallel to the curb between two other parked vehicles. This technique is often required in urban environments where space is limited.

The process typically involves approaching the parking space at a slight angle, usually aligning the rear bumper of the vehicle with the rear bumper of the vehicle parked parallel to the curb. Once aligned, the driver reverses the vehicle while turning the steering wheel. As the vehicle moves backward, the steering wheel is turned in the opposite direction to bring the front of the car in. The maneuver continues until the vehicle is parallel to the curb and at a safe distance from the surrounding cars.

Successful paralleelparkimine requires careful judgment of distances and angles, as well as precise steering control. Drivers often practice this maneuver to improve their spatial awareness and proficiency. In many driving tests, paralleelparkimine is a standard component to assess a candidate's driving skills. The objective is to park the vehicle within a designated space without touching any other vehicles or the curb. Various techniques and aids, such as parking sensors or rearview cameras, can assist drivers in executing this maneuver more easily and safely.
