The answer options
- On your driveway
- Next to a parking meter
- In a marked space
- In front of a property entranceCorrect
Why that is the answer
Parking in front of a property entrance blocks access for vehicles and pedestrians trying to enter or leave the premises, creating a serious obstruction. The Highway Code states you must not park where you would prevent access for others. Conversely, parking on a driveway, next to a meter, or within marked bays uses designated parking locations, so these options are designed to avoid causing an obstruction to other road users.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from safety and your vehicle appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
