In the state of Pennsylvania, on your driving test to get your licence, and your parallel parking,?

Question

do you have to be in the box? or less than a foot away from the curb? or both?

Answer 1

Both. If you aren't in the box, that would be the same as hitting a parked car either in front or behind you. Sticking too far out from the curb is a hazard to other drivers on the road, so your answer is "Both."

Answer 2

i live in pa. too, if iam not mistaken, you  have to be close to the curb without hitting it.
