Parking

Many of us learn the skills needed to drive to pass the drivers test and then quickly leave that knowledge behind. Have you ever been in a rush to get downtown to get your banking done and found once you got there that the only spaces that are available are ones that would require parallel parking? And you have no idea how to parallel park, especially in the middle of the hectic downtown traffic. Or have you tried to squeeze in some Christmas shopping only to find the parking lot jam packed, and the only way to find a parking spot would require extensive skills in reversing? Another lost skill.
I came across this and thought I would share. Often when we have been driving for several years we forget things like how to parallel park, unless we do it often. I know several people who would rather drive around the block several times than attempt to parallel park simply because they don't remember how to do it. This is a great reminder on how to park or even a great lesson for those just learning to drive.
 Whether you are a new driver or a veteran, these tips can be helpful. It would be a good idea to get out and do a little practicing so that if the opportunity presents it's self you are ready to use those skills and claim your spot!
