how close can you park to another vehicle when parked parallel to the kerb?

When parking parallel to the kerb, it is generally required to leave at least 1 meter (about 3 feet) of space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front or behind. This distance ensures enough room for drivers to safely enter and exit their vehicles and to maneuver their cars without hitting each other. Parking too close can make it difficult to open doors fully and increases the risk of accidental damage, while leaving too much space can create hazards by protruding into the road. Additionally, your car should be parked as close as possible to the kerb, ideally within 50 centimeters, without mounting it. These rules help maintain safety and order in parallel parking situations.
