Parallel Parking

Parallel parking is a method of parking a vehicle in line with other parked vehicles. Vehicles parked in parallel are in one line, parallel to the curb, with the front bumper of each facing the back bumper of the next. Parallel parking requires initially driving the vehicle slightly past the parking space followed by reversing into the space. Subsequent position adjustment may require the use of forward and reverse gears.

Famous quotes containing the words parallel and/or parking:

    We tend to be so bombarded with information, and we move so quickly, that there’s a tendency to treat everything on the surface level and process things quickly. This is antithetical to the kind of openness and perception you have to have to be receptive to poetry. ... poetry seems to exist in a parallel universe outside daily life in America.
    Rita Dove (b. 1952)

    That’s interesting. Sort of a private preserve for teenagers, huh? I suppose as adults we’re lucky to find a parking space.
