Also know as 3 point turn, angle parking is the art of entering a parking space just broad enough for you car, situated perpenducular to the street. Like for the parallel parking tutorial, right driving country is assumed.

Step 1 - place yourself about one car width to the right of the free spot, about one place more to the back. Then start driving forward, as slow as possible, with a constant velocity. For people with a manual transmission, you should give no gas, nor brake, only play with the clutch.

*****************************************************
Step 2 - when your head is just past the preceding car, turn as fast as possible,as far as possible to the left, and once your steering wheel has touched the far end, turn it even faster to the right, back to neutral position. This should make you turn about 40/45 degrees, almost instantaneously.

Step 4 - When the front of your car reaches the parking lot, Stop. Switch to reverse driving and start driving. Meanwhile turn the steering wheel at reasonable speed to the left.

Final note - When leaving, wait till your mirrors are out, then turn as sharp as possible to the left.
