Explanation
In order to properly parallel park at the side of the road, you should move to within 18 inches of the curb. Parking close to the curb helps to prevent accidents, as it reduces the chances of other vehicles accidentally hitting your car from behind. Before getting out of the vehicle, always check that the road is clear of oncoming vehicles.
