You find an open parallel parking space on the right side of a busy street. How should you begin to back into it?
A is beside an open parking space between parked cars B and C at the right curb. A has not yet moved forward or started reversing.
Correct answer: Check traffic and signal, then shift to reverse when traffic is clear and look to the rear.
Why
A parallel park starts in moving traffic, so the drivers behind you must know your plan before you stop and back up. Signal early, wait for a clear gap, and look over your shoulder toward the rear while you back up slowly. New Hampshire law lets you back up only when you can do it safely and without interference with other traffic.
