You need to reverse park between two vehicles. As a guide, what’s the minimum gap you’ll need between the two vehicles?

Explanation: Reverse or parallel parking on the side of the road is a skill you need to learn as you prepare for your practical driving test. It will also help you to park safely and conveniently throughout your driving career. Once mastered, you should be able to park between two vehicles in a gap that would normally be about one-and-a-half times the length of your own vehicle.
