i just got my permit a few days ago and seem to have a difficult time parking. i usually park way to close to one side the parking space but never in the middle. is there something i can look for that can help me successfully park? oh and does anyone knows a way to tell when i should start braking if i'm driving down the block?
It all comes from experience, really. To work on parking, just find a big empty (or at least close to empty) parking lot and keep practicing.
Same with the braking thing. When I started driving, I'd brake hard at the last minute, leading to complaings of whiplash. You'll get better the more you drive.
It might just be me, but I find my choice in clothing makes a big difference in my driving ability. Namely, the more clothes I wear, the less effective a driver I become. Parallel parking is a piece of cake so long as I'm free of those constricting garments.
Just ask your parents to give you practice with parking. In fact, get as much practice driving with your parents as possible. When I had my permit before getting my license, my mom would make me drive to school every day, since my school is on the way to her doctor's office.
Driving is just one big drinking game. Every time you hit a stop sign, you have to take a shot. Every time you hit a red light, you chug a beer.Mumbles527
That sounds like a fun and practical method of injecting a bit of excitement into monotonous drives. Well done.

You could also beat yourself over the head with a ballpeen hammer while bellowing along with "Barbie Girl" on the radio.
