To ask for parking advice from people who are actually able to explain things

I’m always impressed by the level of road knowledge on here and have actually learned information about motorway driving I’ve managed to go 20+ years without ever having heard anyone discuss.

so help me out - I need to learn to parallel park a large saloon car with no parking sensors on a busy street. Spaces are often tight. I have driven huge cars all my driving life but they’ve always been estates and they’re easy to parallel park being flat-backed. This whole ‘foot of metal and paintwork beyond the rear windscreen’ palaver just feels risky. The men in my life are helpfully like ‘use spatial awareness.’ Easier said than done when stressed and pressed. Any tips?

All cars parallel park to a formula and you just learn what it is. Just go and do it 20 times in a row in easier spaces
