How far apart are the cones in a driving test?

How far apart will they put the cones for parallel parking during my driving test? I’m really nervous about that part of the test and I’ve been trying to practice, but I’m not sure how much space I’ll have.

Try not to be too nervous! The cones in your driving test will typically be 15 to 25 feet apart. For reference, 25 feet is about two car lengths, meaning you’ll have quite a bit of space to maneuver into the spot.
Parallel parking
can be a little daunting at first, but with practice, it will become easier. Remember to check your mirrors before you start parking and as you pull into the space!
