Find a safe, empty practice area and place two cones to mark the parking space
Position the cones about one car length apart, or adjust to match the space you want to practice
Pull your car up parallel to the cones, leaving about 2 to 3 feet of space between your car and the cones
Align your rear bumper with the first cone
Put the car in reverse and turn the steering wheel fully toward the curb side
Back up slowly until your front seat passes the first cone
Straighten the steering wheel
Continue reversing until your front bumper clears the first cone
Turn the steering wheel fully away from the curb side
Back up slowly until your car is centered in the space
Straighten the wheels and adjust forward or backward as needed
Stop when the car is parallel to the cones and evenly spaced
Practice using mirrors and slow, controlled movements
Repeat the drill until you can park smoothly and consistently
