One of the tasks of the web page „Žena v autě.cz“ is to bust the myth that women are bad drivers. It is not true! It is a fact, however, that for many women (as well as men) parallel parking remains a problem. No reason to be worried.

P – parking

R – reverse

N – neutral

D – drive

Parking with a back part toward a curb

An advantage of this parking is that it is very easy to leave from a parking place: you just get in, start an engine, look around and go. From a car parked this way there is a good view to both sides.
