I can't park straight!!
My friends all laugh at me when I park I'm either over the line or at a realy strange wonky angle.
The weird thing is that I can reverse in fine because I learnt that for the driving test but when it comes to parking forwards I completely fail??
Anyone got any advice is it easier to park in a space to the right so you have more room to swing in because your drive on the left?

knew this would be a girl
Im like this too hehe 
I have to swing in, over the line by a mile, reverse it back out till its straight then drive back into the space again.. Ive seen alot of people do it! its fine I think its just getting used to the swing, sometimes some spaces are wider than others which annoys me

Practise I guess. Maybe your going in at too tight a angle.
I'm much much better at reversing in than I am at parking forwards. Just reverse in - it's easier to get out that way anyway

Unless your car is able to turn its rear wheels, you'll never be able to park perfectly front-way in, unless you ride the curb or the space is several car lengths. This is because the back wheels take a shallower approach than the front wheels whenever you turn. Just reverse it and if anyone says they can do it front-way in, just tell them they're a lying idiot.
