What is the recommended position for the steering wheel when beginning a parallel parking maneuver?
Starting a parallel parking maneuver requires you to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right if backing into a space on your right side. This aligns your vehicle to correctly enter the space without hitting the curb or adjacent vehicles. Proper wheel positioning ensures you can smoothly guide your car into the available spot without excessive adjustments.
