Chapter 1 - Non-Commercial Learner’s Permit Information PA Driver’s Manual - 2-this manual. After passing the Knowledge Test, the examiner will give you a learner’s permit, which is valid for one (1) year. When you receive your learner’s permit, you may begin to practice driving. The one part of our first we all dreaded most was the parallel parking portion and even drivers with years of experience still have a problem with it. It really isn’t all that difficult; all it takes is a little practice. If a car behind is following too closely, look for another parking spot. Warn drivers behind you by lightly tapping your brakes two or three times. Turn on your right turn signal and slow down gently. Once you have warned other drivers, slowed to a stop, and determined that the parking space is large enough for your car, follow these steps to park: • Pull up within two to three feet next to the car in the space ahead. Your rear bumper should be even with the rear bumper of the other car. • Shift into reverse, turn your steering wheel sharply to the right and slowly start to back up. • Start straightening the wheel when your passenger seat is even with the rear bumper of the other car. • Continue backing and turn your wheel sharply to the left once the front of your car has cleared the car ahead. • Once you feel you are parallel with the curb, turn your wheel sharply to the right to straighten the wheels. • Stop your car before you hit the car behind.

If you live in a location where you have to parallel park a lot, you may want to consider getting a backup warning sensor as an option on your next car purchase. Just remember that they can be unreliable sometimes and don't rely on them too heavily. Backup video cameras are also available at around $100 at some of the major big box stores.

Drive around the block until you find a larger gap if you need to; you will need a space that's several feet longer than your car. • Check your rearview mirror and driver-side mirror as you approach the space to ensure another car is not riding on your tail. Signal toward the space as you approach it, slow down, and stop. If another motorist rides up on your rear, simply maintain your position and keep signaling. You might even need to roll down your window and wave the other driver around; they might not have realized you're trying to park. • Line up your vehicle with the parked vehicle directly in front of your desired spot. Don't get too close on the side, or you might scrape the other car when you make your move. But you also don't want to be too far away―two or three feet will suffice. Position your vehicle parallel to the parked car, aligning your bumpers. • Checkyour surroundings. Use all your mirrors and check your blind spotsfor cars, bicyclists and pedestrians BEFORE you begin to reverse your car.
