Your score is

Drivers must park only in designated areas, avoiding spaces marked for the disabled or emergency vehicles unless authorized. It’s important to check for parking signs, adhere to time limits, and never block driveways or pedestrian crossings. When parking on a slope, turn the wheels appropriately and use the handbrake. Always switch off the engine and lock the vehicle before leaving. Understanding these parking guidelines helps drivers comply with local laws and promotes safety, both of which are critical for passing the theory test.
