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:
“The parallel between antifeminism and race prejudice is striking. The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like. Many of the leaders of the feminist movement in the nineteenth-century United States clearly understood the similarity of the motives at work in antifeminism and race discrimination and associated themselves with the anti slavery movement.”
—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
“the parking lot of the dead.”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
