Why does parallel parking only work when reversing.
In: 43
When you are driving normally it’s like pulling a cart. The front wheels pull the car behind you and steer. The rear wheels can only ever follow (mostly) within the path of the front wheels.
When you go into reverse, it’s more like pushing a wheelbarrow. You can more or less move the front end around while the back wheels don’t move much. So you can turn the front end, push the back end into the spot, and then simply push the back in as you manuever the front end around.
