  9. Executing the Maneuver Begin by reversing slowly while turning your steering wheel towards the curb. Maintain awareness of your surroundings. Shift into drive and adjust your position as needed. Incorporate small adjustments to ensure you fit snugly between the surrounding vehicles.

  10. After parking, make final adjustments by moving forward or backward to center your vehicle. Always check that you are within the lines and that no part of your car extends into traffic. Practice regularly to enhance your confidence and skills. Final Adjustments and Tips for Success

Defensive drivers watch for pedestrians darting out, cyclists passing by, or drivers opening doors into traffic. Taking a defensive driving classcan sharpen these awareness skills and help you react calmly in busy situations. Many drivers, including class B drivers, use defensive driving courses to keep their skills fresh and insurance rates low.
