Which Driving Test Subject Does Parallel Parking Belong To?

[DelNorah]

Parallel parking is a component of Subject 2 in the driver's license examination. Further details are as follows: Definition of Parallel Parking: Parallel parking has become increasingly common in urban areas, especially as formal parking spaces grow scarcer. Many locations have converted street sides into parking spaces, creating 'parallel parking spots.' Specific Rules: Previously, parallel parking involved using four poles placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of a parking space. One criterion for successful parking was whether the vehicle entered the space smoothly without touching these poles. After the implementation of new traffic regulations, parallel parking no longer uses poles; instead, ground markings define the parking space boundaries. For learners obtaining a C1 driver's license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the vehicle's length plus 1 meter. The vehicle must be driven parallel to the direction of travel in front of the parking space, then reversed into the space without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the boundaries without crossing the lines, it is considered a pass.
