In angle parking, what minimum distance should you maintain from the car next to you?

In angle parking, you need enough space beside you to open doors and let others enter or leave their vehicles without brushing against your car. The minimum distance to the car next to you is one and a half metres. That gap provides enough room for door swings and safe maneuvering as you pull into or out of the space. 0.5 metres would be too tight to avoid door dings or scraping mirrors. 2.5 or 3.0 metres are larger than necessary for typical parking lane spacing and would waste space. Aim for that 1.5-metre buffer to park safely and smoothly.
