When parallel parked, the wheels on the curb side should be positioned no more than how many inches from the curb?

  1. 10 inches

  2. 12 inches

  3. 14 inches

  4. 16 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

When parallel parked, the wheels on the curb side should be positioned no more than 12 inches from the curb to ensure safety and compliance with parking regulations. This distance allows enough space between the parked vehicle and the curb, reducing the risk of the vehicle inadvertently hitting pedestrians or other objects while avoiding obstructing the flow of traffic. Additionally, it facilitates easier access for emergency vehicles or other cars that need to navigate past parked vehicles. Maintaining this distance also helps ensure that the vehicle is parked correctly, preventing the driver from receiving parking violations or fines associated with improper parking.
