When parallel parked, your vehicle may be no more than ____ from the curb.
- One foot ✓
- Six inches
- Three inches
- Two feet
Answer: A. One foot
When parallel parked, your vehicle may be no more than one foot from the curb.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's parallel parking steps say that in your final parking position your wheels must be no more than one foot (30 cm) from the curb. The question asks for the maximum allowed distance, so the matching answer is one foot. The manual does not set a tighter maximum; it gives one foot as the outer limit.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Six inches — Six inches is closer than the handbook's one-foot maximum, so it does not state the allowed outer limit.
- C. Three inches — Three inches is even closer than the rule requires and is not the maximum distance the handbook gives.
- D. Two feet — Two feet would be farther from the curb than the handbook's one-foot limit allows.
Remember it
Remember: one foot is the far limit, not a target to beat.
