Why does parallel parking only work when reversing.

Question

Why does parallel parking only work when reversing.

In: 43

Answer 1

In the 80s, my family went through a Honda Prelude phase. They were the first of the brief four-wheel steering craze to be sold in the U.S.

My dim memory from reading the manual when I was younger was that the rear wheels would turn the same direction as the front until a certain threshold, at which point they would turn the opposite direction and really make a steep cut into a tight spot.

Hopefully a car buff or expert can fill in the gaps here.
