What way of parking you don't like most?

I've been driving like since I was in College. I got my license when I was 18. However, I wasn't really that good at driving yet, wasn't able to park right too, at that time. So I practiced and taught myself, and take goodness, it all did pay off! People say, you will never learn unless a car hits you or you hit someonelse's car into a total wreck just to learn, cause I never had this. Only a few scratch and very minimal and minor dents. So didn't believe this at all. Well, the part that is hard to learn is the parking. I had a hard time in doing the parallel and back parking, and most the slope or inclined parking. But now, a little calculation and familiarizing your car, you can get over with it. Though I still hate the inclined parking.

Hi there, I hate backing up to park. I've always had a problem backing the car, so what i do if I have to back up into a parking spot I always look for a spot with no cars around me to avoid any mishaps even if it means I have to walk a distance to walk to where I'm going. Parallel parking is something else I avoid, again if I have to parallel park I find a place where its easy for me to drive straight in. LOL

hello smooch i am not all that great at parallel parking either. i can parallel park, when it takes me several times to back up then pull up, then back up, then pull up, while other people in their vehicles are sitting there going, like come on, are you going to take all day to park your car?, or what? lol you know? i find it somewhat embarasing when i have to parallel park like that. other than that i can park my vehicle that i might happen to be driving any other kind of way, without getting embaresed. good luck to you in learing how to parallel park better and also in learning how to park on the incline like that. i know that i needs lots more practice to be good at parallel parking. take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

I hate parallel parking - I have never been able to get the hang of it so I avoid it whenever possible! I can do it, but I'm not very close to the curb usually or not completely straight. I have never had a big problem with inclined parking, but back parking is something I never have had to do so I don't even know if I am good at that or not!
