Parallel Parking Distance?

Question

I am taking my drivers test in a few weeks, and i'm practicing parallel parking, with trash cans in my driveway.

My question is, how far apart should i place the trashcans?

I don't want to be placing them to far apart, and then on the test there much closer.

Oh. and i live in Pennsylvania, if thats any help.

Thank you

Answer 1

When I am pulling up to a spot to see if I can fit, I like to have AT LEAST a half car length in front and in back.  When you are setting up the trash cans outside the car, it will probably look like a bigger space than you think it would.  Good luck.

(Also depends on how well your car turns.)

Answer 2

take a tape measure to your dmv test site and measure the distance between the cones or go to town and measure the distance between the parking spaces that is the best I can do hope it helps good luck
