Alrighty, thats really stupid . Using real cars when the person can't drive to begin with. Totally stupid. Go get some traffic cones and like 2 really long sticks. 1 for each cone. Then dangle maybe some tissues or something colorful on the top of the sticks so that they are easy to see. As for the distance, I think the distance is like 1 full car length + 3-4 feet on each side so like… 1 car + 6-8 feet? If you wanna get a more accurate number go into town with a tape measure and measure out the distance of the parking spaces that are on the side of the street. I'm sure you know what I mean, the parking spaces that are along the curb for parallel parking. I can't blame you if you don't take my advice for the measurements, but if you use real cars to practice with that is just stupid.

I didn't have to parallel park on my driving test.

Be sure you need to, first!
I still don't know how to parallel park.

There's NO parallel parking on the CA drive test. However, you didn't give a state…so I don't know if this is helpful or not.
Generally speaking, the MINIMUM space you should attempt to parallel park in is 1 1/2 times the length of the car you're driving. Visually guesstimate the space available to park in before attempting to maneuver into it.
A picture diagram is found in most driver handbooks, as well.

uhhh..i think you should put two garbage cans far apart then two cars.
put your car in the middle of the two garbage cans then pull the cans a little farther then your car so you'll be able to back far enough to get out.

when you take your test, the parking space for parallel parking is really wide. If you really want to practice, you should go to the DMV where you would take your test and do it there, thats what I did, and passed. You'll do fine, good luck!
