In Michigan the "Basic Control" portion of the driving test consists of:
Straight line Stop - approach a marked line 1 foot wide, smoothly bring the vehicle to a stop with the front bumper over the marked line without going past it.
Back in Parking - From the straight line Stop, the back in parking spot is to the left side of the car. Back the car smoothly into the space without stopping until the car is completely within the marked space and stop without going over any of the side or back line markers.
Parallel Parking - Pull out of the Back In Parking, turning right and pulling alongside of and past the marked Parallel Parking Space.
Stop and reverse direction backing smoothly into the parking space until you can pull forward to complete the maneuver. All without multiple stops (each additional stop cost you a fault point) and completing the maneuver, stopped completely inside the marked space.
Hints - you are allowed 7 fault points before you fail. Practice the stop and back in parking until you can do both flawlessly, they are not really that difficult to master and with a little extra practice you should be able to accomplish both with one or no fault points, when you get to the parallel parking part of the test remember any extra stops cost you as much as being over the line, therefore simply back into the space and get as much of the car into the box as you can in 2 moves (backward, stop / forward, stop ) and use your fault points to cover the out of bounds fault(s). This is how I trained my young drivers and none of them has ever failed the basic control portion of the test. Once again make NO unnecessary stops during this portion of the test because they cost you points!.
This will be the only time in your life that when parking, you will be penalized more for taking your time and getting safely into the parking place than you will be penalized for crossing the line - which in real life would mean you hit another car! Yes I know - just another case of the law not making sense compared to real life....
Please drive safely - never Text or use a hand held phone when driving, both activities are extremely dangerous to do when driving and in many states they are completely illegal.

 Does your city have parking meters? |
Ours is thinking of doing away with them as the city loses $400,000 a year by having them. Maintenance and collection more than the worth.
