Why Parallel Parking?
Why exactly do we harbor such fear or aversion towards parallel parking? Part of the answer lies in the task's inherent complexity. Successfully maneuvering a vehicle into a tight parking space not only involves spatial awareness and precise control, but also confidence and experience.
Moreover, the stress of executing a perfect park under the watchful eyes of other impatient drivers elevates the pressure. It's no wonder then that 12% of respondents claimed they've never even tried and another 3% said they use parking garages to avoid this stressful task.
