You want to reverse park a car between two vehicles on the side of the road. As a guide, what would be the minimum size for a suitable parking space?

Explanation: Reverse or parallel parking between parked vehicles on the side of the road is a useful driving skill to master. How large the space needs to be depends on the driver's skill and the size of their car. A useful guide would be a minimum space of one-and-a-half times the length of their car.
