When parallel parking, after positioning your vehicle in the space you should check that your wheels are:
- A.Within 18 inches of the curb
- B.Touching the curb along their full length
- C.At least 2 feet from the curb
- D.Turned toward traffic on a flat road in every case
Correct answer
A. Within 18 inches of the curb
Why
The Texas standard is wheels within 18 inches of the curb. Parking too far from the curb leaves the vehicle protruding into traffic.
