Best Answer

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.)
