In this section you will write a function that implements the correct sequence of steps required to parallel park a vehicle.
Note for this segment the vehicle's maximum speed has been set to just over 4 mph. This should make parking a little easier.

park(car)Your parallel park function is "correct" when:
- Your car doesn't hit any other cars.
- Your car stops completely inside of the right lane.
