While there is no right way to parallel park, there are several unwritten rules to parallel parking that everyone should know.

Rule#1

Never upset another parallel parker, especially if they park in front or behind you. Some things that upset other drivers are (a) not leaving them enough space to manuever out of a parking space (b) parking your vehicle with your front bumper mashed into their rear bumper.

Rule#2

To keep your bumpers safe when parking, never park in a tight space and always give other cars enough space to exit a parking spot. A driver that's locked into a parking spot is like a caged animal...they will bump your car as many times as needed.

Its a temporary parking guard for the rear bumper that can be used for indoor parking garages, outdoor parking garages, valet parking garages and outdoor applications, such as street parking.

This figure is likely to increase, as more cars are being introduced with plastic bumpers. Likewise the demand for bumper protection accessories will also increase. The Bumper Bully is unique because it focuses on protecting the middle portion of the rear bumper, the area most often damaged in parking. Our rear bumper protector was designed for maximum rear bumper coverage (46”x12”), while maintaining a compact design.
