Which situation describes parking with the driver's side toward the curb or more than 12 inches from the curb?

• A. Parked within 15 ft of fire hydrant
• B. Parked driver's side to curb/Parked more than 12 in. from curb
• C. Parked on sidewalk
• D. Stop/stand/park in violation of signage

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is how a car should sit in relation to the curb when you park parallel. In general, you want to be right up against the curb—within a short distance (not more than about 12 inches). The way the car is oriented toward the curb is also part of how this is described in test questions. The option in question explicitly mentions two parking situations: having the driver's side toward the curb, or being parked more than 12 inches from the curb. The distance part matches the rule about staying close to the curb, and the reference to the driver’s side toward the curb is a common way test makers describe the typical parking orientation on a curb. The other choices depict clear violations (near a fire hydrant, on the sidewalk, or where signage prohibits parking), so this option is the one that aligns with the scenarios a tester would expect you to recognize.
