- 1). Drive slowly (inching along while keeping your foot over the brake) as you approach the angled spot. Position the rolling car at least 5 to 6 feet out from the parking space. Signal to indicate that you'll be turning.
- 2). Continue to inch along---wheels straight---until the front bumper of the car reaches the middle of the space you're parking in. At that point, brake lightly---not fully---to slow the car while you turn the wheel to enter the spot. About a half turn of the steering wheel should direct the car into the center of the spot---but some cars have looser or tighter steering. Aim to place your left front wheel in the center of the space as you enter it.
- 3). Straighten the car wheels out as the car's hood very slowly passes over the middle of the parking spot.
- 4). Come to a full stop once the front bumper reaches the front-end of the spot. Make sure the car's wheels are fully straight so that backing out will be as easy as entering. Put the car in park.
