Easiest way to learn parallel parking is simply practice. It's a very good thing that my wife never had to do this for her drivers license. She'll park two blocks away so she doesn't need to parallel park, almost funny.... Keep in mind when parking you can adjust your right side mirror (point it down) to see how close you are to the curb, I do that just to keep from getting rash on my Volks.

CA needs to make their driving test a little harder since half the people here don't know how to drive period.

OP, just use your mirrors for parallel parking. You shouldn't even be taking the test if you don't feel comfortable with that portion of it yet.

This. I remembered hearing about the parallel parking but was surprised when I didn't have to.

Parallel parking is easy... just sucks trying to do it with a manual on a hill.

I always thought it would be funny to do the parallel parking test in one of those Fords or Lexus's that does it for you. Hit the button and the thing just pro parks for you hahaha.

I did it in my Trailblazer and aced it. But I have always been good at PP.
