Could we slow that animation down a little? jeez! 69.109.175.231 04:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
March 1, 2007, I am a driving instructor. If the person who made the animation sees this, please write me rlewis@att.net. Thank you.

[edit] In-line citation
We need inline citation if we are to make it a good article. --KushalClick me! write to me 16:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Left / Right
Perhaps around a third of the world drive on the left and so parallel park on the left. Perhaps the language of this article could be altered to not use the words 'left' or 'right' and instead use 'kerbside' and 'roadside' or similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.230.21 (talk) 15:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll add a note suggesting that the "right" and "left" directions be switched for those reading in Britain/Japan, etc. Given that the animation shows right-side parking, though, I think the article should follow suit in its description. Major Danby (talk) 19:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Either I'm daft or...
Half the article was written by someone from Britain/Japan/etc. and seemlessly integrated with right-side-of-the-road directions to become VERY confusing. How in the nine hells could a right-sider bump his rear LEFT wheel on the curb?! Yet all of the neighbouring directions seem to be for right-siders... Admittedly, I couldn't parallel park anything bigger than a BMW 3-series if my life depended on it, but I'm pretty sure that someone accidentally or maliciously intermixed directions for right- and left-side roads. 128.195.186.43 (talk) 05:53, 25 February 2008 (UTC)Adieu
- You're not daft, or at least this post doesn't suggest it. That transposition of left and right at one (solitary) point in the entry was an error that I have now corrected. Thanks for alerting me to it and regrets to the many people who may have been killed trying to get their left rear wheel near to the curb while parallel parking on the right side.
