Want this question answered?
From the Calfornia DMV web page on parking: When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.
If you refer to the parallel parking part of the "skills" test...it is 25' long and six feet deep. To pass, you have to park within 18" of the "curb." a former WV DMV troop.
Answer:According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles California Driver Handbook, 2009:When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.**[CA DMV Handbook for 2009, page 53, Section: Special Parking Rules]Therefore, your wheels--both front and back--must be less than 18 inches from the curb.This 18 inch requirement is a fairly standard distance in most states, but you would have to check with that states DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) Driver Handbook to verify this distance.
You don't go on the highway but you do go onto the main road and road in a business park where there could be a lot of traffic around. The big difference here is with parallel parking. They do not have a curb but a yellow painted line with cones behind them. Other testing sites has a curb.
18 feet is the DMV standard i believe.
Yes, if they get a handicapped placard or license tag from the DMV.
Honestly i dont know yet. Today is the 22nd and i have the test tomorrow. But from what i hear its out from the dmv parking lot. Down 28th to walmart then to mohawk. Then down mohawk to main st then back to dmv. And i never heard of them doing the parallel parking. But i also hear it depends on the person that tests u. I will keep u updated. Gl
Actually yes you can.From the California DMV Website:Parking privileges for DP placard, DP plates, or DV platesIn parking spaces with the International Symbol of Access (wheelchair symbol).Next to a blue curb authorized for handicap parking.Next to a green curb (green curbs indicate limited time parking) for as long as you wish. There is no time limit with a DP placard, DP license plates, or DV license plates.In an on-street metered parking space at no charge.Streets where preferential parking privileges are given to residents and merchants (private off street merchant parking facilities may be restricted to customers and employees).
No you can not. Most of them I have benn to have signs posted that it is Illegal to enter the Driving Section Area after operating hours are completed. And I am sure they will not let you enter the course even during operating hours..
I believe parallel paring is still a part of all drivers tests.
Certain states DMV do offer driving schools, but there are certain restrictions as to where they are allowed. California, for example, does have driving schools approved by the DMV.
In Oregon it is 12 inches, other states it is 18 inches. Type this question on Google but add "in (your state)" it should bring up the online section of the DMV manual of your state that will tell you for sure.
