My parallel parking is more crooked than a drunken sidewinder's track. Oh, well. :D

I do park straight on the first try (unless backing into a spot). Living in NJ gives me alot of practice in the art of parking, however (right-angle, sloped, or parallel, it doesn't matter)...

Ususally I can park fairly strait, but I need something to line up with like a curb or another car.

I park very well on the right side, but on the left side it's very hard for me. Parallel parking: I park well but invariably crooked. Just can't do anything about it.


That's me too! I can only park on the right side, and actually I consider myself very good at parking, LOL. But for some reason I can't park to the left...As for parallel parking: I avoid it as much as possible.

I can park straight but only if no-one is watching me. If I'm holding up traffic to park then I end up getting flustered and parking at a weird angle.
