When taking the drivers test do you have to parallel park?Just want to make sure!

Question

Its just I heard that you didn't and wanted to know before I go to take my drivers test.

Answer 1

When I took my test I had to.  

Behind the DMV office are cones set up and you have to parallel park between the cones.  

Just make sure to look over your shoulder and turn your turn signal on before pulling out of the cones after parking.  Why? My director person told me to "parallel park just like you would on the side of the road".  Well, I didn't turn my turn signal on or look over my shoulder and he counted points off for that!

Good luck!

Answer 2

it all depends on where you live. In the state of CT, driving instructors are not required to make you parallel park.

Answer 3

it just depends on What state u live in.my state fla no so it depends

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

It is usually different for everyone.  I know someone who had to, but I didn't.  My test was really easy only had to go through some stop signs and get on the highway.  You should try asking people in your area to see how the police officers are in your area.

Answer 6

Unfortunately they WILL make you parallel park.  However not always between 2 cars - maybe just in front of one.  Better practice!  It's a breeze when you get the hang of it.

Answer 7

Depends on the person who tests you. It's better to know how. If they dont' ask no big deal. If they do, you're ready.

In real life, if you don't know how to parallel park, though, good luck shopping!

Answer 8

not sure in test but you have to do in real life

Answer 9

It depends on where you take the test. The state of Colorado dose not require you to..

Answer 10

I had to do it for drivers ed. before I could pass the class, but for the actual test to get my license I didn't have to, I'm sure some places do and some places don't make you, you should call your dmv and ask to make sure.
