Which action should be taken while parallel parking correctly?

a. Park close to the other vehicle's front bumper
b. Shift into neutral gear
c. Leave approximately 5 feet between your car and the forward car
d. Back up slowly while turning the wheel sharply

The correct answer is: d. Back up slowly while turning the wheel sharply

The correct action while parallel parking is to back up slowly while turning the wheel sharply. This technique allows the vehicle to maneuver into the parking space effectively. When you are in the proper position next to the parked car, turning the wheel sharply while reversing helps the back of your car to pivot into the space, giving you the necessary angle to fit your car snugly between the two parked vehicles. Utilizing a slow approach during this process is crucial as it provides better control over the vehicle, allowing you to adjust your positioning as needed without risking a collision with nearby vehicles. Keeping a slow pace ensures you can respond to any misalignment or obstacles in close proximity.
