When you parallel park...
is there one way that you just cannot park right?
For instance, if I am on a one way street and there is parking on the right and on the left side, I am a pro at parking on the right side. Whenever I have to parallel park to the left side, I just can't get close enough to the curb - I end up straightening out like 5 times and it is still not right and embarassing! This happened to me last night while picking up dinner and it made me think of it!
The entire restaurant was probably looking at me like - that girl can't drive! haha

Left side is harder for me than the right.

I have a harder time parking on the left, unless I am in the UK

Moving to Forest Hills and commuting by car every day for the last 2 years has cured me of all parallel parking issues! I was terrible at it for a long time, but now I'ma pro.

Re: When you parallel park...
I do both equally well if there is the room, if I am squishing my car in a spot that is only a few inches bigger than the car, I am much better on the right.

Re: When you parallel park...
Our car has a backup camera and also the side view mirrors tilt down when you go in reverse, so parallel parking is super-easy, no matter what side of the road I'm on. I love that feature!

Re: When you parallel park...
i am scared to parallel park! i used to be good at it when i first started driving... but now it's been so long since i've done it that i get nervous if i have to do it amongst traffic.

Re: When you parallel park...
I almost failed my road test because I could not PP. Ironically, between living in Queens for many years and working at a school in NYC with no parking lot, I became GREAT at it. 
Now I have a driveway and could probably not do it to save my life, since I now also get to school so early and hardly ever have to PP.
