Your vehicle should be no more than 18 inches from the curb.
You should point your wheels away from the curb when parking up hill and toward the curb when parking down the hill. You want the vehicle to immediately make contact with the curb if is rolls.
How do you hit someone while parallel parking???
If you normally drive on the right side of the road, turn your wheels to the right.
18 inches
No parking means you should not park a motor vehicle in the area indicated.
12 or less inches
When you park your vehicle.
From the rear, front, and left side. If approaching a vehicle from the right side while parallel parked it means you've parked illegaly facing on coming traffic.
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.
if you parking uphill you turn your wheel towards the curb and if you parking down hill you turn it away
reverse and set the parking brake.
