Got to teach the wife to parallel park. Want to find a good spot where the traffic isn’t intense so she won’t get skitzy. But where? (West side.) Guess we could just drive up and down neighborhoods until we find something.
Not realistic enough. Hitting a trash can won't teach any lessons. Have to have skin in the game to learn something.
Try pre-screening. Find a spot in between two cars that is narrower than the length of the car she is driving and let her go at it. If she cant figure out that the car wont physically fit in that spot, then she is not ready for it. You would be surprised by how many on the road would fail this test.
I fail to see how that gif is remotely useful when actually trying to parallel park, unless you mounted some sort of laser system on your wheels.
Agree. Needs commentary. I think the lines connecting the wheels is more of an illustration of why the normal How To instructions work -- more like a "this is why it works" gif.
