Driving Test

Parallel Parking Steps:

1. Signal & Position Your Car

   • Use your right turn signal to indicate you’re parking.

   • Pull up parallel to the space about 2-3 feet away from the cones.

   • Align your rear bumper with the first cone.

2. Reverse & Turn Right

   • Put the car in reverse and turn your steering wheel fully to the right.

   • Slowly back up while checking your mirrors and looking over your right shoulder.

3. Straighten Out

   • Once your car is at a 45-degree angle (when your back right tire is near the curb/cones), straighten the wheel while continuing to reverse.

   • Keep an eye on the lines and make sure you're inside them.

4. Reverse & Turn Left

   • When your front bumper clears the back cone, turn your wheel fully to the left while slowly backing in.

   • Keep checking your surroundings and adjust as needed.

5. Stop & Adjust if Necessary

   • If needed, you have three forward and three reverse movements to correct your position.

   • Stay within the lines, and you can touch the curb but NOT knock over cones.

6. Finish & Straighten Your Wheels

   • Once properly in the space, straighten your wheels.

   • Put the car in park and check surroundings before proceeding.

Key Reminders to Avoid Failing:

✅ Use your blinkers when pulling into the spot.
✅ Make complete stops at all stop signs for 3-5 seconds.
✅ Turn your head physically both ways when checking traffic.
✅ Keep both hands on the wheel the entire time.
✅ Avoid rolling stops—fully stop before proceeding.
