Assess if it is safe to proceed then carry on. During the whole manouver remember to stop and give way if anything approaches you from any direction (including pedestrians). Look out the back window and around as you reverse. Turn the steering wheel '1 full turn' towards the curb. Image Ref(2) Before you turn the wheel again check all around making observations from your right shoulder blind spot around to your left shoulder blind spot. If the car you are reversing behind is parked facing the wrong way, line up your left wing mirror with the target cars right wing mirror. As soon you are half way past the vehicle you are at your point of turn. After checking all around making observations from your right shoulder begin reversing slowly. Image Ref(1) Start by putting your car in reverse. You should have about two feet of road between your car and the car you pulled up beside. You can use your left mirror lined up with the front of the car you want to reverse behind as a guide. Pull up until the nose of your car is just past the end of the car you are reversing behind into the space you are planning on occupying.

Image Ref(1) When the space is already vacant, pull ahead of it. Turn your signal off when you have put the car into reverse.
Parallel parking driver#
Signal your intention to that driver and any other by indicating left. If the space is not yet vacant but you notice that the car occupying that spot is about to leave, wait behind the spot so that you can park there.

This would indicate exactly the direction of the parking space or area that you are intending to park in. To parallel park, you should use your signal if necessary.
