back into the space like you're supposed to. I always go in nose first!
I also learned what is called in New York the 3 point turn, but I've always felt reluctant to use it lest I get ticket!

5. My daughter just passed on the second try. |
|
Here, they mark the spot with orange cones on one of the side streets. The first time she took it we passed the spot on the way to the test. I got out and moved all the cones three inches farther apart. The second time I moved each of them six inches farther apart and she passed.

6. I bet by the end of the day, those cones are a block apart! |
|
How can you park between cones, anyways? Do they have flags so you can see them?
