In most countries that I have lived in or visited, the car must be parallel to the kerb (unless authorised signs allow for angled parking) Here in Australia the Road Safety Parking Regulations Act as applied from State to State require parallel parking on the passenger side kerb only (left) unless the road is a One Way street. Parking must be as close to the kerb as is practicable (it used to be 10 inches maximum but that got repealed) a reasonable distance from the kerb is defined as what the reasonable person would consider praticable. Angle parking is sign posted and either 45 or 90 degrees to the left hand kerb. In U.K. both sides of the road may be used during daylight hours but only the left (passenger) side after dark.

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.

Are a cars tires parallel?

Depends on the condition of the car, the design of the car and the driving conditions.Ideally they should be, but there's a bunch of things chat can change this.In a front wheel drive car in good condition, the front wheels are aligned to be parallel under power. Since suspension parts flex a bit, this means that the front wheels will be a little bit toe-out when the car is coasting, and a bit more toe-out during braking.If it's a rear drive car, front wheels will be parallel while coasting, but toe-out during braking.Rear wheel alignment will also vary with design. Cars with solid rear axles will have rear wheels parallel with each other, and mostly parallel, but not necessarily in line with the front wheels.Cars with split rear axles will usually follow the same toe-in/out variation as front wheels depending on if the car is coasting, braking or under power.Then there's the question of suspension travel. Sometimes toe-in/out varies a little as the shocks and springs in the suspension allows the wheels to travel up and down. It's hard to get the linkages just right and to have the car track perfectly even when hitting a bad bump.
