If you can’t perform basic maneuvers like parallel parking it means you have no idea where your vehicle stands on the road and you should not be allowed to drive.
I live in a car-centric city with close-to-zero public transportation. Not having adequate parking options is immediately a deterrent for me to go to a place, and I’d rather not go unless it’s a very important event that I can’t avoid.
Is it weird that I think parallel parking is easier than pulling into a space?
maybe a little to consider it “easier” - I put them on par with one another, both simple as fuck.
I unironically love parking lots & garages, and feel like a city without parking is a prison.
If I had my druthers, existing bike lanes would be turned into medians, side of road parking would become bike lanes, and enough real estate converted to parking garages to meet peak demand.
Sharing a bus or train with a lot of other people every day isn’t appealing because of the way a lot of other people are.
I’ve always wondered if a small car like a Smart Car could just perpendicular park instead and call it a day. Parking cops are fucking morons so it would be hard to explain coloring inside the lines to them.
I was in Rome recently and saw smart cars and other types of micro-car doing this everywhere. Which makes complete sense given how busy yet small Rome is.
I parallel parked today. Went better than I expected.
It’s good when you’re going on a date with Buzz Lightyear. Because parallel lines meet at infinity and beyond!
Idk, parallel parking is tricky without a camera or parking sensors, but having at least one of these make it super easy.
Skill issue tbh
