18 inches
I believe in the UK it shouid be closer than 18 inches.
Correct, I worked in law enforcement in Australia and we took our road laws from U.K. It was 10 inches maximum in both countries until the late 70's when 'as close as practicable and parallel to the kerbing..' was substituted. Generally parking must be to the passenger (left) side excepting on a One Way street where either side can be used. In U.K. both side of a Two Way can be used during daylight hours. Signs are sometimes posted allowing for angled parking (45 or 80 degrees to the relevant kerbing.)
From the Calfornia DMV web page on parking: When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.
Apparently it's 18 inches in most places.
The standard rule for this is 12 inches (1 foot), although that varies from city to city. 18 inches for state of California

Answer:According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles California Driver Handbook, 2009:When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.**[CA DMV Handbook for 2009, page 53, Section: Special Parking Rules]Therefore, your wheels--both front and back--must be less than 18 inches from the curb.This 18 inch requirement is a fairly standard distance in most states, but you would have to check with that states DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) Driver Handbook to verify this distance.
18 inches/30cm from curb. Front wheels turned toward the curb or passenger side edge when facing down hill or front wheels pointed toward street if facing up hill with a curb, toward the edge if no curb.
