I'd drive him/her to the side street and let them practice once you feel they have mastered the cones at Courtland, Genessee Valley, U of M, Mott, or whatever large parking lot you find that is empty on an off peak time.īe sure that you don't stop with driving, an independant person needs to know how to get around by bus or the proper rules for operating a bicycle as well.

One installation of those tandem spaces has the parking spaces the same as the road, but the maneuvering space is brick or patterned asphalt.ĭeller, if you are looking to provide advice to a youngster on parallel parking your best bet are a series of sizes. Or make the whole space out of another material, and keep it narrow (perhaps show 7' even if the spaces are technically 8').

Full size pickups, Suburbans, land yacht luxury cars, are in the 18-19' range.
